Entrance Control
Hitachi is also a leader in the industry in delivering what is called “finger vein authentication technology.”
If you think about it, there are many ways to authenticate one’s identity and to access secure information. You can run a retina scan, you can enter pass codes, but finger vein authentication technology is the leading security technology from Hitachi, Ltd. Using light to actually scan ones unique vein patterns to identify a person’s identify.
Scanning the internal living tissue, the internal living veins, of an individual, makes it essentially impossible for someone to clone or copy or essentially, attempt to breach security, because they can’t take your finger veins. (They can cut your finger off but it wouldn’t be living and breathing, so it wouldn’t work).
So the security benefits we’d like to highlight here is that Hitachi’s finger vein technology is able to read the unique patterns of veins inside the finger.
This type of biometric device really eliminates the needs for keys or cards. If the system is linked to distinctly read the internals of your finger utilizing light and a close coupling device camera lens which sees the vein there, it streamlines the entire process. In fact, a large bank in New York recently implemented this. Because the vein is internal in the body, distinguishing the vein pattern, as I mentioned earlier, is virtually impossible, and this makes counterfeiting essentially improbable.
How do you counterfeit veins? Critical to the technology is the use of light which penetrate the finger, illuminates the unique vascular pattern, and eliminates the need to touch sensors directly. This is truly innovative and amazing!

Hitachi Europe Invents µ-Chip, Pioneers Smart Tag Technology
Achieving a pioneering milestone in smart tag technology, Hitachi’s 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
A key example of Hitachi’s innovation, I’d like to point out a technology advancement made by Hitachi Europe.
A few years ago, Hitachi invented the u-chip (*pronounced M-U Chip) and really pioneered the Smart Tag Technology. If you look at the size of the u-chip, which is a radio frequency identifier device, it basically looks like freckles on a finger. It’s interesting because it’s used in everything from conferences to concerts these days. Ticket holders, for example, instead of showing up with physical paper tickets, might instead hold a little card with a u-chip embedded so that they’re electronically scanned in. Everything is tracked via the u-chip, as opposed to actual physical tickets.
The u-chip is small enough to be embedded in paper so you can imagine the endless usages and applications of a technology small enough to be embedded in paper. In fact, u-chip is being used in a wide range of vertical applications such as, finance, sales, supply chain, transportation, retail, etc.
Again, another example of how powerful Hitachi’s R&D engine truly is. And, we believe this reassures customers that they are working and collaborating with one of the preeminent technology innovation companies out there in the industry today.

Hitachi: Eco-Friendly in All Industries— not just Information Technology
“Toyota Turns to Hitachi for Hybrid Motors”
Hitachi Ltd. is eco-friendly to all industries, not just information technology. As I mentioned earlier, Toyota recently turned to Hitachi for hybrid motors.
This was covered by the Green Car Congress, which covers energy, technology issues and policies for sustainable mobility - as its tagline say.
It is also covered by the Korea Environment Institute and by Planet Arc. So, again, next time you’re sitting in a Lexus or Toyota, you can assume that the hybrid motors are very well supplied by Hitachi, Ltd. And this is comprising Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy drive system, which has received much attention from the media, celebrities, and various external constituencies in the marketplace. Our eco friendliness extends to all realms of the production of all of our various products and not just IT.

19. Adaptable Modular Storage

No Copy-Back Sparing
Drive Roaming
LUN to LUN replication
Volume Migration
Cache Partition Manager
RAID-6
NAS support
Storage Navigator Modular
RoHS Compliant
Any LUN delete
You will no longer have to “invalidate” and “reallocate” LUNs in order to change the size of LUNs in a RAID group. You are no longer limited to deleting the last LUN only.
E.g.. You have 4 LUNs numbered 0-4, each 2GB in capacity. If you delete LUNs 1 and 4, you have a total of 4GB capacity made available. You can then create a single 4GB LUN or redefine the LUNs to smaller sizes.
The stripes are not re-deployed within this new available space.
No Copy Back sparing
When there is a HDD failure in the RAID group, the failed drive writes to a spare drive. The spare becomes part of the RAID group. When the failed drive is replaced it is not necessary for the spare drive to write the data back to the replaced HDD. This means an overall improvement in controller overhead when a HDD failure occurs because the controller will no longer need to spend time writing data back to the HDD replacement.
There will be the option in the GUI to write the data from the spare back to the replaced HDD.
You can't use no copy back in the first 5 disks of the RK.
HDD roaming
You can build RAID groups vertically and horizontally. It also gives us the “no copy back” feature.
LUN to LUN replication
With SI and TC, you can replicate at a LUN level. You can use different RAID levels between the P-VOL & the S-VOL, regardless of whether there is a different number of drives in the P-VOL and the S-VOL. You can use any stripe size. However, the LUNs must be the same size.
RAID 6 - provides High Availability to your customer
Given a double HDD failure, the RAID group is reconstructed from 2 parity disks with no interruption and limited performance degradation
R6 is also known as double parity or diagonal parity which incorporates 2 parity drives in case there is a double drive failure.
Using denser disks of 300GB and 400GB capacities, rebuild times can be significantly greater. R5 rebuild times are noticeably longer.
All AMS and WMS models support RAID 6.
All standard RAID types are supported on the AMS and WMS platforms.
A white paper has been requested from RSD on how R6 is implemented on the traditional modular arrays. We have also requested what mandatory requirements are in place or what restrictions exist.

20. Cache Partition Manager
3/31/2017
Cache Partition Manager
Selectable segment size Customize the cache segment size for a user application
Partitioned cache memory Decrease negative effect on performance between applications in a 'storage consolidated' system by dividing the cache memory
Turn Cache Mirror “OFF” Increase cache efficiency over cache data redundancy
Selectable stripe size To increase performance by customizing the disk access size
Cache Partition Manager allows performance tuning through fine grain control of segment size and by turning off mirroring, which improves cache utilization.

21. Cache Utilization is Key to Application Performance
3/31/2017
Cache Utilization is Key to Application Performance
Without Cache Partitioning Manager
Data in cache memory is processed uniformly in units of 16KB regardless of lengths of data sent from a host
Data with a length of 4KB or 8KB is scattered on the cache memory
Cache-hit rate at the time of response to the read command is effectively lowered
In a typical cache memory (no partitioning), data is spread throughout cache and inefficiently allocated. Cache can be fragmented while loading to or from RAID groups. There is no way for the cache to more efficiently treat a specific LUN, because it must accommodate all LUNs and all RAID stripes equally.

22. Cache Utilization is Key to Application Performance
3/31/2017
Cache Utilization is Key to Application Performance
With Cache Partition Manager
The area of the cache memory is divided into two (for this example), making the two portions fit two data lengths
When handling a lot of “small” data with lengths shorter than 16KB, you can raise the cache hit rate and lower response time (read) by specifying data to be processed via partition 2
Contents of the cache memory are controlled more efficiently
In a partitioned cache memory, the data is aligned more exactly between the specific RAID stripe and the cache. Thus the cache does not swap as often, and applications achieve better performance.

23. Cache Partition Manager Feature
3/31/2017
Cache Partition Manager Feature
Modular storage systems typically have simple single block-size caching algorithm, resulting in inefficient use of cache and/or I/O
Cache Partition Manager feature delivers cache environment that can be optimized to specific customer application requirements
Less cache required for specific workloads
Better hit rate for the same cache size
Better optimization of I/O throughput for mixed workloads
No need to mirror all writes where this does not benefit the application
4KB Database blocks in 4KB Cache pages
16KB File system blocks in 16KB Cache pages
Cache Partition Manager is one of the key changes to Workgroup Modular Storage and Adaptable Modular Storage lines. No other modular product has the ability to manage cache at this level.
RAID group stripe sizes can also be selected to allow tuning further of the array to deliver better performance without additional cost – Cache Partition Manager is included as a no-cost option for all Workgroup Modular Storage and Adaptable Modular Storage systems.
Yet another example of Application Optimized Storage in action…
64KB Video data blocks in 64KB Cache pages

24. Overview of the Cache Partition Manager
3/31/2017
Overview of the Cache Partition Manager
Cache is divided into partitions that can be exclusively used by assigned LUNs
WMS100: 8
AMS200: 8
AMS500: 16 partitions (max. per system)
Partition 0/1 are the master partitions (16KB only)
Partition 2~n have selectable-size segments 4, 8, 16, 64, 256, & 512K
Partition sizes are flexible (each partition has a certain minimum)

Cache Partition Manager assigns a LUN to a specific cache partition. The partition size can be modified in factors of 4,000 bytes such that a given block can fit more exactly into the partition, reducing the time necessary (milliseconds or less) to move data between cache and the disk drives.

EMC® requires a Customer Service Engineer to configure a pool of predefined Business Continuity Volumes. ( is this speculations or confirmed information?)
All ShadowImage volumes are additionally RAID-protected. A disk failure or Automatic Error correction is handled completely transparently with no interruption.
- All ShadowImage volumes are completely protected by RAID at all times, regardless of the RAID type. An HDD failure or I/O error is recovered automatically and transparently to any application processing.
When a ShadowImage consistency group is split, all I/Os are help within the storage system. EMC holds the I/Os in the host, making it difficult to get absolute I/O consistency when multiple hosts are involved.

Any application considered to be essential for business continuity is a potential candidate for a TrueCopy software implementation. Customers who cannot tolerate downtime for any reason can use TrueCopy software, and additional Hitachi Business Continuity solutions to minimize disruption of planned outages. In general the most probable types of applications at risk for a Business Continuity solution are:
Revenue-producing applications. Point-of-sale, e-commerce, ISPs, financial transactions/brokerages/stock trading, order entry/inquiry, travel/reservations, or almost any online transaction processing application
ERP (SAP®, BAAN®, PeopleSoft®, Oracle® financials etc.)
Electronic document management
Web content management
Customer-facing applications. Customer service/support/call center applications, supply chain management, insurance claims processing, etc.
Government regulated applications. Banks, brokerages, medical and legal records, insurance records, utilities, telecom, transportation
In the wake of 9/11, most Country, State and City Government agencies are developing or enhancing BC plans (isn’t this more of a statement than a bullet point here?)
archive protection
Most database-reliant applications (Oracle, DB2®, Sybase®, etc)

TrueCopy Synchronous Replication
The remote I/O is not posted “complete” to the application until it is written to a remote system
The remote copy is always a “mirror” image
Provides fast recovery with no data loss
Limited distance – response-time impact 4 1
Provides a remote “mirror” of any customer data
The remote copy is always identical to the local copy
Allows very fast restart/recovery with no data loss
No dependence on host operating system, database, or file system
Distance limit is variable, but typically less than 25 miles
Impacts application response time
Distance depends on application read/write activity, network bandwidth, response-time tolerance and other factors
Remote I/O is not posted “complete” to the application until it is written to a remote system
The remote copy is always a “mirror” image
Provides fast recovery with no data loss

Protect your application volumes without impacting production by combining ShadowImage and TrueCopy Synchronous. The production voume is not impacted since it is replicated first using ShadowImage. This mirror volume, is then copied to the remote site using TrueCopy. At the remote site, the data is then mirrored again internally to the subsystem. Additional details on the exact sequence of operations and recovery scenarios are included at the end of this presentation.
