Product overview For mid-sized and larger businesses, Acer Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage 2300 is an easy-to-use, scalable, cost-effective storage system for Microsoft Exchange Server, VMware, databases and other business applications. It is also a top choice for tiered or standalone storage, consolidation, business continuity, data replication, backup and archiving. 4U Rackmount View What's New Introducing Acer Hitachi s new storage array solution AMS2300 designed to meet the needs of mid-size and larger businesses. Support for 2TB SAS hard drives. Reduced Management and Energy Costs Hitachi Dynamic Load Balancing Controller automatically reduces controller bottlenecks and is ideal for server virtualization environments. Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning software provides virtual storage capacity to eliminate application service interruptions, reduce costs and simplify administration. The Power Savings feature helps reduce overall energy costs. 1
Simplified, Reliable, Integrated Storage Rely on 99.999 percent data availability. Minimize disruption and risk with no single point of failure and mirrored cache with battery backup. Improve administrative efficiencies with wizard-based configuration setup and provisioning. Centralize and manage multiple systems for greater efficiencies with wizard-based installation and configuration. Reduce time spent on configuration with solution-ready platforms that are certified and tested with the leading business applications. Flexible, Scalable Business Growth Protect investments to meet the data storage growth requirements of any business with the ability to scale capacity to 472TB, performance to 400,000 IOPS and connectivity to 2048 virtual server ports. Expand as business grows with easy data-in-place upgrades. Compliance and Data Protection RAID-6 ensures high availability and protections where any two drives can fail without the loss of data. Hi-Track Monitor for 24/7 diagnostics keeps potential issues from becoming problems. Within-system volume replication or incremental copies. Flexible sparing eliminates the need to copy back after a RAID group rebuild. Audit logging tracks all system changes. Hitachi Data Retention Utility software protects data from overwrites.

The operating power supply therefore draws the same current as the two supplies did before the failure. To make sure that either power supply can operate in this manner, ensure that the PDUs in the rack can supply twice the normal power of the units plugged into it. 3 Power requirement in the case of the maximum configuration is shown. When planning facilities such as the uninterrupted power supply (UPS), specify the power factor as 100% for calculation. Value at 100 V/200 V is shown. Example: 300 W = 300 VA. The actual power required may exceed the value shown in the table when the tolerance is included. 5
