Adaptive Data Reduction (ADR) is a feature on the Hitachi storage systems that reduces the size of data to store, effectively increasing the usable capacity on the array. There are two data reduction methods: 1) Compression and 2) Deduplication and Compression. These methods can be enabled...

Current public-key algorithms for encryption are dependent on one of three hard mathematical problems: the integer factorization problem, the discrete logarithm problem, or the ellipti-curve discrete logarithm problem. Although current computers do not have the processing power to solve these...
Missed Hitachi Social Innovation Forum 2021? It’s not too late, see below is a selection of panels with speakers from: Citi, HSBC, RB International, NHS (Health service UK), Telefonica, American Heart Association, CERN, Walmart, Penske, Jacobs Engineering, Sestra, Rainforest Connection,...
One of the basic ingredients for cyber security is the use of hack proof encryption. It is always amazing to me when I hear that someone’s data was stolen because it was not encrypted. Data can be encrypted through hardware or software systems. Hitachi storage systems can encrypt data at rest...

Infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders are looking to use artificial intelligence (AI) in their infrastructures to gain a competitive advantage. T he winners are those who can run more models with more complex algorithms and do it faster than their competitors. To win, you need faster...
Object storage began as an economical way to archive large amounts of unstructured data. Today vast amounts of data have been archived on object storage where they also gain the benefits of scalability, protection, compliance, and cost efficiency. Up to now, enterprises have been reluctant to...
As I reported in my last post , the introduction of the Chia Coin cryptocurrency has literally exploded the storage market. The reason behind this is that It relies on a linked blockchain of mathematical constructs based on a proof of having storage space (Disk or SSD) over a time period. This...
In 2020 the amount of data that was created and replicated exceeded previous expectations due to the pandemic which required more people to work and learn from home. The amount of data for 2020 is now expected to come in at 64.2 zettabytes, up from 41 zettabytes in 2019. At the beginning of this...
