HDS intros storage array clustering technology

Bengaluru: Hitachi Data Systems announced the Hitachi High Availability Manager, an open systems storage array clustering technology. The company claims that it delivers 100 percent accessibility of business-critical data assets and offers customers future-proofing of their storage investments over time.

“In today's difficult economy, IT organizations face tightening budgets but must continue to improve the protection and management of their company's rapidly growing pools of information. One major and fast growing operational cost is the time and money that IT organizations spend to migrate data to new, more cost effective solutions. Solutions like the Hitachi High Availability Manager provide customers with instantaneous fail-over and recovery capabilities that can dramatically reduce data management costs while also reducing application downtime,” said Richard Villars, VP-Storage Systems and IT Strategies, HDS.

Hitachi Data Systems also announced an enhanced support for IBM FlashCopy technology. When leveraged in conjunction with Hitachi Universal Replicator software, this new functionality provides customers improved business continuity and disaster recovery strategies in both two data center point to point operation and three data center multi-target configurations.
