The "Hitachi + DLB = agile, no touch, no bottlenecks" formula will be revealed soon.
Can you figure out the "Hitachi + DLB = agile, no touch, no bottlenecks" formula?
Kind regards,

DLB... hhmmm... is it come thing to do with host IO dynamic load balancing across both controllers???
"Destroy limitations & bottlenecks"
Damn - LUN behave!
People think about bottleneck of useful data in different data paths of the system and there are several solutions available nowadays. But the bottleneck of the path for the metadata of the file system is always neglected. Probably, this new solution solves this problem in 99.999%... DLB is only one name for the architecture of the file system, a kind of object based type...
around 2000 there was HPC-MW for Hitachi SR8000, which includes a Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) library. why not transfering this knowlwdge from supercomputer to a new series of midrange subsystems to provide a perfect solution to customers.
A new (modern) HDS system replacing AMS with features like:
Thin provisioning (Dynamic LUN B.... ?.-))
Automatic hieracial storage
10 Gb iSCSI with support for large Ethernet packages
8 Gb FC
probably it's only hype.
I only hope that they're abandoning their stupid asymmetric active/active approach in the midrange.
How does Hitachi measure its implementation performance cause the products sell themselves. Oversight anyone ???
Does the new Product line have built in Distance Replication that the current AMS does not have.

Thanks to everyone who left a comment on the Hitachi Data Systems Buzz forum about “DLB”. Your insights on self-balancing techniques for performance-optimized disk storage were well received.
You guessed right. “DLB” means dynamic load balancing.
As part of today's midrange storage portfolio announcement, Hitachi Data Systems introduced the new Hitachi Dynamic Load Balancing Controller with symmetric active-active controllers architecture. A combination of SAS back end with and advanced active-active controller is one of the most important features introduced with the new Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage 2000 family. These storage systems meet the benchmarking standard "Five 9's" of availability, 99.999 percent uptime and can scale to better address growing storage environments.
A symmetric active-active controller virtually eliminates I/O transfer delays with integrated, automated hardware based front-to-back I/O load balancing. It ensures I/O traffic from host to disk drives is dynamically managed, balanced and shared equally across both controllers, even if the I/O load to specific Logical Units (LUNS) is skewed. In addition, controller pairing provides seamless operations in VMware with VMotion environments, allowing virtual machines to transfer between physical hosts efficiently. The same LUN can be accessed from different hosts using any host port on either controller.

Talk to you all online again.
Lunman, Yes, all of the new Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage 2000 family systems support Hitachi optional distance replication software, TrueCopy Extended Distance. This software can be managed by the Storage Navigator Modular 2 management interface that also manages the storage system.
