Hitachi Data Systems
Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) solutions simplify management of storage assets and infrastructure in heterogeneous environments. This is done by using a single set of data services for all migration, replication, backup, and security needs throughout the lifecycle of data. Some of the key features of the HDS storage virtualization solution include:
- Consolidation. The formation of centralized storage pools that can be managed as a whole and shared across applications and servers improves storage utilization. Consolidating storage reduces the number of footprints, delivering savings in environmental costs while improving availability and performance.
- Data Migration. VMWare and HDS offer a synergetic set of tools for data migration which allow customers to right-size their servers and align the right storage tier to the right application based upon business needs.
- QoS Assurance. The Hitachi Data Systems Virtual Partition Manager and Server Priority Manager help ensure QoS.
- Business Continuity Solutions for VMWare Platform. Hitachi Data Systems offers a complete suite of business continuity products for VMWare platforms from local backup to replicating data over long distances and establishing a practical methodology that expedites recovery while minimizing data loss.
