the next Hitachi Data Systems' USP refresh

SearchStorage.com: So what can we expect HDS to focus on with the next big USP refresh?

Yoshida: Well, I'll give you a hint. We've announced ourdynamic provisioning capability. When we implemented dynamic provisioning, we created the concept of a page — you get a pool of RAID groups and divide them up into pages, and do thin provisioning based on the page dynamically because it's all pre-formatted. This page concept is game-changing for us. Now we will manage storage based upon pages rather than volumes and files. That, I think, will be a focus on future products.
