NEC Hydrastor – HS3 Series
NEC Storage HS Series came up with the entry model, a backup storage solution using a new-generation innovative storage technology. At low cost this 2U-sized storage unit offers space and energy efficiency both at the same time.
- It has Power saving design and environment-friendly space
- This entry model is scalable up to 24 TB with low installation costs
- Network administrators can reduce the work load during installation by using “Easy setup wizard”
- It can compress data by 20:1 or more (*1) that can reduce the backup cost
- It has tolerance of multiple concurrent failures and High reliability, surpassing RAID
- It has made easy to initiate remote backup service
*1: Compression rate of this model depends on the data backed up characteristics.
Features
Data compression with deduplication for storing big data efficiently
In recent years multiple companies have been shifted from using conventional tape based backup to disk backup with deduplication. By using data compression technology and deduplication NEC Storage HS3 can store efficiently big data while reducing the space that is required to store in tape. Additionally, it has transformed cumbersome work into automation that can reduce the effort and time required to restore and backup. With this technology remote replication can be done economically that allows disaster prevention.
Power-saving design and Environmentally-friendly space-saving
It can reduce installation space and power consumption with High density installation technology. This model not only contribute with environmental aspect but also reducing cost for energy and space. Data compression improves capacity efficiency that can cut the data storage cost.
Solve problems with “NEC Storage HS3” deduplication
NEC HS3 (Entry model) with reduces installation costs
You have options to select the optimal model from 8TB to 24TB to match your need. One can also upgrade the selected model when necessary.
Simplified operations at installation with Error-free setting
The feature “Easy setup wizard” is available in this model. It can provide a platform to the user to configure various settings smoothly. Installation settings can be configured easily by following the screen navigation on the screen and entering necessary information.

Reduction in Backup cost by compressing the storage data
“Data Redux” latest data high compression technology is owned by NEC that can delete any duplicate data automatically by comparing the data blocks that are to be written to the data already in storage. It can enhance the capacity efficiency. With physical compression and deduplication technology, the stored data can be compressed at a ratio of 20:1, or more. In this technology Big backup data can be stored at a cost over capacity lower than that of conventional tape.
Adopt NEC’s own data high compression technology
Distributed redundancy allocation (High reliability and tolerance to concurrent multiple failures which surpass the RAID performance)
This technology is far superior than traditional RAID. Backup data is divided into multiple blocks, before being distributed to multiple disk drives for storage a special parity is added to the data. It can recover data even when failure concurrently occur in multiple storage locations. Data loss prevention can be witnessed even in cases where malfunction occurs to three disk drives concurrently.
Reliability surpassing the RAID performance
Key Features
Economical and secured
Data Replication, backup data to be stored at remote location in the case of disaster such as fire or an earthquake, with a regular SAN storage requires a high-speed line ultimately leads to high cost. NEC Storage HS3 transfers only the data not stored in the remote site by using “DataRedux” technology. Due to this the amount of data transferred can be reduced, remote replication can be performed on a low-speed line with low connection fee. Thus, risk of data loss can be reduced to the minimum level economically. Enhanced security yet at the same time can be achieved by the replication packet encryption feature, which can protect crucial data from intruding by third parties during replication and manage to keep data confidential.
Tamper-proof feature for data protection
To protect data from unauthorized tampering or fallacious operation, The Worm (Write Once Read Many) feature is available. Protection period for each file can be specified. This protected file cannot be updated, even by an administrator during the period set.
Improve efficiency in incremental backups operation
Normally It takes long time to perform backup as the amount of data increases. The Hydrastor (HS Series) only make incremental backups, it does not require the traditional periodical full backups. At high speed incremental backups can be merged with the full backup automatically. At first it performs one-time full back up after that incremental backups are merged with previous full backups automatically with high speed. This has shortened the time duration enormously required for backup.
