NEC Storage HS3-40

HS3-40

Simple, smart backup and archival



The entry model of the “NEC Storage HS Series”, a backup storage solution using the latest innovative storage technology. This 2U-sized storage unit offers both space and energy efficiency at a low price point.

  • Environmentally-friendly space and power saving design
  • Entry model scalable up to 24TB with reduced installation costs
  • “Easy setup wizard“ significantly reduces the burden of the administrator during installation
  • Compresses data by 20 times or more (*1), reducing backup costs
  • High reliability and tolerance of multiple concurrent failures, surpassing RAID
  • Easily to begin remote backup service

 

*1: Compression rate depends on the characteristics of the data being backed up.

Features

Data compression with deduplication for storing a large amount of data efficiently
Recently more and more companies are shifting from using traditional tape based backup to using disk backup with deduplication. NEC Storage HS3 can efficiently store large amounts of data with its deduplication and data compression technology, reducing the space required to store tapes. In addition, cumbersome work such as the handling of physical media is no longer necessary, and the automation of various tasks reduces the effort and time required to backup and restore. Additionally, remote replication allows disaster prevention measures to be taken economically.

Environmentally-friendly space-saving and power-saving design
High density installation technology enables reduced installation space and power consumption. It contributes to not only the environmental aspect but to reducing the cost for space and energy. In addition, compressing data improves capacity efficiency, which cuts the data storage cost.

Entry model with reduced installation cost
You can select the optimal model from 8TB to 24TB according to your need. Upgrade is also available as necessary.

Error-free setting is avaialble by simplified operations at installation

Smooth installation setting by navigation on the screen

The “Easy setup wizard” is provided which allows the user to configure various settings easily. By simply following the navigation on the screen and entering necessary information, installation settings can be configured smoothly.

Reduce backup cost by compressing the storage data

Adopt NEC’s own data high compresion technology

Adopts NEC’s own latest data high compression technology (DataRedux). It compares the data blocks to be newly written and data within the storage, and deletes duplicated data to dramatically improve the capacity efficiency. With the deduplication technology and physical compression, the storage data can be compressed by 20 times or more. The large amount of backup data of multiple generations can be stored at a cost per capacity as low as when using the tape,
contributing to reducing the cost for space and energy.

Achieved high reliability and tolerance to concurrent multiple failures which surpass the RAID performance: Distributed redundancy allocation
By distributed redundancy allocation technology, reliability and tolerance to concurrent multiple failures surpassing the RAID performance are achieved. It divides backup data into multiple blocks, adds a special parity to data, and distributes them to multiple disk drives for storage. It enables recovering data even when failure concurrently occurs in multiple storage locations. Data loss can be avoided even in the case when malfunction occurs in three disk drives concurrently.

Key Features

Economical and secure disaster countermeasures can be taken

Even if you wish to store the backup data at a remote location in the case of an earthquake or fire, replication with a regular SAN storage requires high-speed line, resulting in high cost… With “DataRedux” technology, “NEC Storage HS3” transfers only the data not stored in the remote site. Thus, the amount of data transferred can be reduced and remote replication can be performed with low-speed line at a low connection fee. With this, data loss at a disaster can be reduced to the minimum level economically. In addition, enhanced security is achieved by the replication packet encryption feature, which protects important user data from eavesdropping by third parties during replication and maintains confidentiality.

Tamper-proof feature for data protection
The WORM (Write Once Read Many) feature is available to protect data from unauthorized tampering or erroneous operation. You can specify the protection period for each file, and protected files cannot be updated even by the administrator during the period.

Improve efficiency in backup operation by incorporating the increment
The backup operation takes longer as the amount of data increases. The HS Series does not require the traditional periodical full backup, and performs only the incremental backup. After performing one-time full backup at first, it only backs up the daily increment and then the full backup is incorporated automatically in high speed. This can drastically shorten the time required for backup.
