Chapter 1: VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP
F1500 overview
The following describes the hardware components of the VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and
VSP F1500 storage systems.

System overview

The VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP F1500 are high-capacity, high-performance, unified
block and file enterprise storage systems that offer a wide range of storage and data
services, software, logical partitioning, and unified data replication across heterogeneous
storage systems.

Features

The VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP F1500 storage systems include state-of-the art
advances in hardware technology that improve reliability, serviceability, and accessibility
to drives and other components when maintenance is required.
VSP F1500 all-flash array is configured exclusively with the latest generation of flash
■
module drives (FMDs) to provide performance optimized for intense I/O operations.
Designed for flash-first, high-performance workloads and leveraging Hitachi's SVOS-
based deduplication and compression, VSP F1500 offers up to five times greater ROI
with unified support for SAN, NAS, and mainframe workloads.
Accelerated flash architecture delivers consistent, low-latency IOPS at scale.
●
Adaptive flash management distributes writes and rebalances load over time.
●
Hitachi FMDs deliver enterprise performance with superior functionality and
●
greater cost value.
The VSP G1500 and VSP F1500 are equipped with new virtual storage directors (VSD).
■
The VSD uses the latest generation of Intel Xenon 2.3-GHz 8-core microprocessor to
efficiently manage the front-end directors, back-end directors, PCI Express interface,
local memory, and communication between the service processor.
Hitachi Accelerated Flash FMD DC2 storage offers a patented data-center-class design
■
and rack-optimized form factor that delivers more than 8 PB per system. The FMD
DC2 supports a sustained performance of 100,000 8K I/O per second, per device, with
low and consistent response time.
