The Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage 2000[1] family of storage systems was announced in October, 2008. They can be reconfigured and optimized to accommodate changing business requirements. This midrange product family is built around a serial attached SCSI (SAS) architecture and has a symmetric active/active controller design.
This family of storage systems include:

All models support RAID-6 disk configurations, Fibre Channel and iSCSI host interfaces, as well as the ability to intermix Flash drives with SAS and SATA disk drives in the same tray. They also support both Fibre Channel and iSCSI host interfaces in the same controller.
The AMS 2000 family of storage systems are available with just a few terabytes of storage up to 1,417 TB of storage. These storage systems support upgrade in place to larger models of the AMS 2000 family as well as migration to new RAID groups while the system is in operation.
