QBI Deploys Hitachi Modular Storage System

In response to the daily increase in data growth of five terabytes (TB), the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) has deployed a modular storage system. Computer World reports that being one of the largest neuroscience institutions in the world, the QBI was unable to keep up with the high volume of data and the upgrade was vital to securing the future of the organization.

"’We did go out and look at other vendors and we went to Hitachi at the end because they are the only company who could offer us dense trays in a modular form factor,’ he said. ‘They could offer us 48 two terabyte drives in dense trays - we could achieve extremely high density in a smaller footprint.’”
