Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F800
hardware overview
The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F800 is a modular, rack-mountable all-
flash array storage system, with various fixed storage capacity configurations
of FMD DC2 flash storage devices. To deliver consistent low latency host
response times and highest IOP performance across all host connection ports,
no hard-disk drives are included.
The storage systems contain dual controllers, each controller contains its own
processor, dual in-line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache flash memory
(CFM), battery, fans and iSCSI and Fibre Channel I/O modules. Each
controller also has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management. If
the data path through one controller fails, all data drives remain available to
data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller.
The storage system can be equipped with embedded network-attached
storage (NAS) modules. The NAS modules provide file access through CIFS
and NFS protocols and block access by using iSCSI protocols.
All storage system models allow defective drives to be replaced without the
interruption of data availability to hosts. A hot spare drive can be configured
to replace a failed drive automatically, securing the fault-tolerant integrity of
the logical drives. Self-contained, hardware-based RAID logical drives provide
maximum performance in compact external enclosures.
Key components are implemented with a redundant configuration, so that the
storage system can remain operational in the unlikely event that a
component should fail. Adding and replacing components, along with
firmware upgrades, can be conducted while the storage system is active.
