 A query if the following equipment is being used as storage in an external data center HPE A650 FLASH SYSTEM FS9500 IBM HPE Alletra Storage 4120 Controller And we want to migrate but using the technology that we have in our Data Center which in this case are the VSP 5600 controllers?, could this technology change be made?. Not to bring us this equipment and use what we have increasing the capacity in our VSPs? Another case in another data center we have Hitachi equipment but with a lower version Hitachi VSP G370 Hitachi VSP G370 Hitachi VSP E590 Hitachi HUS VM Are they compatible with VP5600 equipment, to migrate to this latest version?

Hello Genoveva

Yes, It's always a good idea to use our GA SVOS version on your hardware. If you need motivation, accessing the install base via our Cloud Portal Clear Sight(available at clearsight.hitachivantara.com) would give you insights in the security dashboard wrt vulnerabilities etc.

To answer your question, I'm a bit unsure on what you'd like to do exactly. You can use our virtualization technology UVM(Universal Volume Manager) to migrate volumes from 3rd party arrays to the Hitachi Arrays. The arrays you mentioned 350G and 5600 both support this and potentially using storage from the external storage as a external capacity pool. So both use cases Migrating volumes and using external storage as capacity for new volumes is supported. It's always a good idea to see if we tested it on our compatibility guide here:

If it's not on there it doesn't mean it wont work, it just means we haven't tested and certified it yet. Reach out to your Hitachi representative for help if needed:
