Overview
Leverage your virtualization environments to expand your data protection, disaster recovery, and business continuity capabilities while reducing costs, complexity and risk with Hitachi Data Systems Storage solutions for VMware.
As one of the top three storage vendors in the world, Hitachi serves nearly 60 percent of Fortune 100 corporations, and partners with the world’s leading technology companies. The Hitachi architecture is both powerful and simple, scaling from small to very large VMware environments.
Hitachi Data Systems Storage Products
Hitachi hardware and software storage products are a natural fit for VMware environments. Using powerful Hitachi storage systems and Hitachi replication software, customers can now protect their VMware investment with flexible, comprehensive storage systems for data protection, disaster recovery, and business continuity.
Hitachi Storage Hardware
The Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage system - Adaptable Modular Storage 2100, 2300, and 2500 are extremely scalable and reliable systems suitable for most medium-sized VMware environments. Their SAS-based drive architecture delivers industry leading price/performance for midrange systems and is an affordable way to add high-performance DR for VMware applications. The Adaptable Modular Storage 2000 family is the only midrange storage product line with symmetric active-active controllers that automatically perform many complex and time consuming tasks that administrators routinely face.
Universal Storage Platform V - Reaching previously unattainable levels of consolidation, the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V has redefined the storage industry and enterprise level VMware sites. It represents the world's first implementation of a large scale, enterprise-class virtualization layer combined with thin provisioning software. That means the virtualization of internal and external heterogeneous storage into one pool has finally been achieved—and VMware sites can now enjoy total end-to-end virtualization. When coupled with Hitachi enterprise-proven replication software, VMware customers can deploy full DR, business continuity, and failover capabilities in one high-performance, centrally managed package.
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform VM – Perfect for fast-growing VMware sites, the Universal Storage Platform VM blends enterprise-class functionality with a smaller footprint to meet the business needs of entry-level enterprises, while supporting distributed or departmental applications in large enterprises. Customers enjoy end-to-end virtualization, local and remote disaster recovery, and business continuity capabilities.
Hitachi Storage Software
All Hitachi software products operate directly with VMware through the vCenter Site Recovery Manager. This tight integration enables Hitachi products to deliver high-performance, highly reliable VMware protection. And since all replication and copy functions are executed on Hitachi storage systems, VMware server performance is unaffected.
Hitachi TrueCopy® - Hitachi storagesystem-based software provides a continuous, non-disruptive, host independent data replication solution for disaster recovery or data migration of local VMware servers. Manage operations centrally through vCenter SRM. Test DR copy integrity without disrupting production servers or data. Make multiple copies of data for application testing or data archiving.
Hitachi TrueCopy® Extended Distance software - Able to operate over any distance, TrueCopy Extended Distance software adds remote DR and business continuity to VMware sites. Customers get fast restarts and full recovery from remote site Hitachi systems, while managing the processes through their central VMware console.
Hitachi Universal Replicator software - Universal Replicator software delivers simplified asynchronous data replication for VMware applications hosted on Hitachi Universal Storage Platform systems. Universal Replicator software delivers true enterprise-class remote VMware replication performance without the need for redundant servers or replication appliances.
