Preface
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform E590 and E790 Hardware Reference Guide 7
Chapter 1: Introduction
The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform E590 (VSP E590) and Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform
E790 (VSP E790) storage systems are high-performance, large-capacity data storage
systems utilizing all-flash NVMe solid-state drives. The storage system consists of a
controller chassis and internal components such as fans and PCIe switches.
The NVMe architecture delivers consistent, low-microsecond latency which reduces the
transaction costs of latency-critical applications and delivers predictable performance to
optimize storage resources.
Key features
High performance
■Multiple controller configuration distributes processing to each controller
■High-speed processing facilitated by up to 768 GiB of cache
■I/O processing speed increased by NVMe flash drives
■High-speed front-end data transfer up to 3.2 GB/s for FC and 1 GB/s for iSCSI
■Response times as low as 66 microseconds
■Integrated with Hitachi Ops Center to improve IT operational efficiencies
High reliability
■Service continuity by main components in redundant configuration
■RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6 support (RAID 6 including 14D+2P)
■Data security by transferring data to cache flash memory at the time of a power outage
Scalability and versatility
■Scalable capacity up to .72 PB (internal), 144 PB (external), and 4M IOPS for VSP
E590 .72 PB (internal), 216 PB (external), and 6.8M IOPS for VSP E790.
■Heterogeneous connectivity supporting concurrent attachment to a variety of hosts,
including VMware, Linux, UNIX, and Windows
Storage system specifications
Chapter 1: Introduction
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform E590 and E790 Hardware Reference Guide 8
