Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400, G600 Hardware Overview - Hitachi G400 Hardware Reference Manual

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400,
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400, G600 are modular, rack-mountable,
all-flash arrays that deliver high performance, high reliability, and flash-
accelerated scalability.
The storage system contain dual controllers, each controller contains its own
processor, dual in-line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache flash memory
(CFM), battery, fans and iSCSI and Fibre Channel I/O modules. Each
controller also has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management. If
the data path through one controller fails, all data drives remain available to
data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller.
The storage system can be equipped with embedded network-attached
storage (NAS) modules. The NAS modules provide file access through CIFS
and NFS protocols and block access by using iSCSI protocols.
All storage system models allow defective drives to be replaced without the
interruption of data availability to hosts. A hot spare drive can be configured
to replace a failed drive automatically, securing the fault-tolerant integrity of
the logical drives. Self-contained, hardware-based RAID logical drives provide
maximum performance in compact external enclosures.
Essential hardware components are implemented with a redundant
configuration so that the storage system can remain operational if a
component fails. Adding and replacing components, along with firmware
upgrades, can be conducted while the storage system is active.
