Hitachi Europe Invents µ-Chip, PioneersSmart Tag Technology

Achieving a pioneering milestone in smart tag

technology, The Hitachi µ-chip is the smallest and most

advanced RFID chip that is innovatively designed to

deliver authentication and tracking capabilities unlike

any other device of its kind. Small enough to be

embedded in paper, its advanced technology can be

used in a wide range of vertical applications including

finance, sales, supply-chain, and transportation

Constant, Increasing Reliance on IT

75%-90% of data is

unstructured• Much of IT built for structured data

Unstructured data is growing at

10x the rate of structured data• How to limit growth of data and

associated backup/restore burdens

• How to scale and support different

workloads without more or larger silos

<5% of unstructured data is

proactively managed• How to leverage tiered storage

• NAS and file systems not content

aware

• Regulations force new behavior

Unstructured content grows faster than traditional information or structured content

It is time for storage technology and

practices designed for the unique

challenges of unstructured data growth

The Active Archive Proposition

17

Fixed content files contain

reference content that must be

preserved or retained

Metadata contains descriptive

attributes about the file

Policy information is special

metadata that governs file retention,

disposition and protection, plus

guarantees file authenticity over time

Users and applications write and read files; internally, they are

managed as objects

Key Concept: Archive Object Management

18

WORM, Immutability, and

Retention

Write once, read many file system

where content is stored in an

immutable format with the ability to

set file-level retention

Simple Monitoring and

Management

Can be configured and monitored

through a Web-based interface and

through SNMP

Scalability

Content Archive Platform enterprise-

class SAIN architecture (SAN +

Array of Independent Nodes) allows

for seamless scaling of capacity with

unmatched availability

Open Solution

Supports Unix and Microsoft file systems,

can store standard file formats such as

XML and HTML, and can leverage other

Hitachi SAN storage platforms

Single Archive Name Space

All objects are stored in a single, archive-

wide global name space, a well

understood paradigm

Open and easy to navigate with standard

tools and applications

Search and Indexing

Simplifies requirement for timely

discovery with an easy-to-use browser

interface (search of files and metadata)

Garbage Collection

Keeps the archive clean of partially

written files and other non-completed

transactions. Incomplete artifacts are

removed from the system.

Duplicate Elimination

Allows two or more byte for byte identical

objects in the archive to have one data

portion of the object stored, yet two or

more namespace pointers.

Protection

The protection policy ensures the proper

number of copies of each object are present in

the archive. If a failure occurs, additional

copies are created. If too many copies exist,

extra copies are deleted.

Authentication

Keeps a digital signature for each object

in the archive and periodically re-

computes and compares results,

repairing anomalies where possible.

Scavenging

The scavenging policy ensures the

backup copies of metadata stored

internally agree and repairs metadata

problems where possible.

Cluster Balancing

As new nodes are added to the cluster,

data is migrated from existing nodes in an

attempt to balance the quantity of

information each node is managing.

Shredding

Guarantees the contents of an object are

permanently removed (scrubbed) from

the system when it is deleted in

accordance with the DOD 5220.22-M

regulation.

Retention

The retention policy (multiple type

variations) disallows deletion operations

until a user defined date and time have

been reached.

HCAP Active Archiving Policies

Administration Console GUI allows

creation of replication “Links” between

archives

Source folders to be replicated to

specified target cluster

Configurable “Link” options will also

include:

–Digital Signatures – Guarantees

authenticity

–Compression – Minimizes WAN

bandwidth requirements

–Encryption in flight– Allows for use

of public networks

Replication performed at the object level

–Content, metadata, and policies

Explosion in data capacity stresses backup and restore operations, which impacts performance and availability of production systems

Key Reasons to Reduce Backup

Escalating backup and restore times

Backup’s impact on primary systems

Restores bloated with non-critical data

Cost of buying and managing tape

Risk of rogue data in offsite tapes
