NORTHERN Adds Hitachi NAS Support To Its User Data Management Solution

BOSTON, April 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- NORTHERN, the founder and market leader of User Data Management (UDM) – helping organizations gain insight into and control over user-generated data, today announces that NORTHERN Storage Suite is fully integrated with the HNAS file filtering feature of HNAS 12.3.

"NORTHERN strives to provide our customers with outstanding value, regardless of platform," says Jonas Areskoug, CEO of Northern. "Hitachi Data Systems have been a great partner in creating this seamless integration for our joint customers thereby enabling that more organizations can benefit from management of their user generated data."

A large North American financial institution was the driving force to initiate the work to integrate NORTHERN Storage Suite and Hitachi Data Systems HNAS. This organization decided for Hitachi's HNAS platform and concluded that NORTHERN Storage Suite was the best possible User Data Management solution to meet their needs. Working closely together, NORTHERN and HDS have quickly satisfied the customer's need by integrating Northern Storage Suite with the HNAS file filtering feature. Beyond the previously available UDM capabilities of Northern, this allows NSS to operate fail-open quota locking and file-blocking functionalities.
