Host, Alexander Haig, former Secretary of State for President Reagan and former COO and president of United Technologies, discusses "Data Storage." Joining the discussion as industry expert is Harris Miller, president of the Information Technology Association of America See ITAA. . Hitachi Data Systems describes the movement away from legacy data systems, defined as direct-attached storage, toward networked storage models. Networked storage, defined by Storage Area Network (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular ) architectures, allows for the consolidation of server and storage systems, improving storage usage, reducing complexity and improving data availability. "Hitachi Data Systems was selected to appear on the program due to its global leadership position in the data storage and retrieval market," said Charles Hopkins, the show's coordinating producer. Mr. East appears on General Alexander Haig's World Business Review to discuss the need for more efficient data management solutions. "The secure, established position of Hitachi Ltd. as an Information Technology leader enables us to bring best-of-breed, enterprise-class solutions to businesses with challenges that require 100% data availability, simplified operations and an agile infrastructure," said Mr. East. One of the more interesting challenges that Hitachi is facing is the need for clients to access any information from any location at any time. Integral to its strategy, Hitachi provides products and solutions that allow customers to quickly deploy Storage Area Networks (SAN) and Networked Attached Storage (NAS) infrastructures. Two systems recently added to Hitachi's Freedom Storage product line exemplify what it believes is the core of its data management focus - to bring a fully scalable SAN-ready foundation to its e-business customers. The Lighting 9900 series is an enterprise-class storage system that utilizes an all-fiber, bottleneck-free architecture. Designed to be infinitely scalable, this system gets faster as capacity demands increase. The Thunder 9200 is designed to bring the same type of performance but with a smaller footprint, more suitable for the rack-mounted environment. "Companies are suffering from info-flood. It's great in this information technology era to make it so easy to gather information, but even tracking where it is stored let alone trying to extract really valuable information from it, is becoming a major challenge," said Miller.
