Glossary

Hitachi Rapid Recovery

The Hitachi Rapid Recovery solution for S/390®-attached storage combines Hitachi NanoCopy™, Hitachi TrueCopy-S/390 Asynchronous™, and Hitachi ShadowImage™. This facility enables data to be copied from one set of S/390®-attached systems to another with complete transaction integrity and without disrupting user applications in any way. Open-systems platform data can be consolidated on the Lightning 9900™ with NanoCopy™ capability to recover their critical data very quickly following an outage.

Hitachi Resource Manager™ 9000

The Hitachi 7000/9000 Resource Manager™ is a comprehensive suite of management software that brings together Hitachi Graph-Track™, Hitachi Virtual Logical Volume Image (VLVI) Manager™, Hitachi FlashAccess Manager™, and Hitachi LUN Manager™ into one complete package.

Hitachi SANtinel™

The Hitachi SANtinel™ software controls host access to Hitachi Freedom Storage 7000E™ or Lightning 9900™ LUNs in open systems or SAN environments.

Hitachi ShadowImage™

The Hitachi ShadowImage™ is a firmware-based software copy utility that uses command-line-interfaces to create up to ten copies of a volume within one Lightning 9900™ system, or up to 20 across multiple Lightning 9900™ systems. Graphic or command-line interfaces control data replication and fast resynchronization of logical volumes. ShadowImage is available for open systems or S/390 environments. ShadowImage also works in concert with Hitachi TrueCopy-S/390 Asynchronous™ to provide additional copies in another system.

Hitachi TrueCopy

Hitachi TrueCopy provides synchronous or asynchronous remote copy capability for open system and S/390 computers. This allows remote copies over virtually unlimited distances. Operating systems that are supported include MVS, HP/UX, AIX, Sun Solaris™, Digital UNIX®, Sequent DYNIX/ptx®, SGI IRIX™, NCR®, UNIX SVR4®, Windows NT/2000®.

Hot site

An alternate facility that has the equipment and resources to recover the business functions affected by the occurrence of a disaster or business interruption. Hot sites may vary in type of facilities offered (such as data processing, communication, or any other critical business functions needing duplication). Location and size of the hot site will be proportional to the equipment and resources needed. Similar terms include backup site; recovery site; recovery center; and alternate processing site. See also Cold site, Warm site, Disaster Recovery, Business Interruption, and Business Continuity Planning.

With Hitachi LUN Manager, open systems Logical Units LUNs can be defined, configured, and maintained. There is no more waiting for the hardware vendor to come and make configuration changes. Hitachi LUN Manager includes an easy-to-use, GUI-basedinterface that allows the easy definition of paths for LUNs, the reconfiguration of LUN-to-portassignments, or the viewing of the Lightning 9900 remote service information messages. Because the Hitachi LUN Manager can assign multiple paths to a single LUN, support of alternate path failover, path load balancing, and clustered systems is possible. Running on a standard Windows-basedPC connected to the storage subsystems by a dedicated LAN, Hitachi LUN Manager can support up to eight Lightning 9900 systems Hitachi Data Systems Hitachi CruiseControlStorage Maximizer Hitachi SANtinelHitachi Data Systems Data Protection Services Professional Services and SupportProfessional Services Overview Cost of Risk Analysis methodology CORAHitachi NanoCopy Implementation Service Data Protection Services LabRemote Copy Assessment and Implementation Service Hitachi Data SystemsOn-lineData Migration Service Professional Services and SupportContinuous Availability Service SAN servicesSoftware Portfolio Review and Analysis Service Hitachi Data SystemsSystem Configurations for the Performance ExperimentHitachi Data Systems The 7700E used all 6GB drives100BaseT Glossary of Terms10BaseT ACP pairBack end Hitachi Data SystemsAvailability Business Continuity Planning BCPCache GlossaryCARB CHIPControl Frame Hitachi Data SystemsConsistency Groups CORA Cost of Risk AnalysisData Duplication Disaster RecoveryGlossary Data MigrationElectronic vaulting Hitachi Data SystemsEBCDIC ESA/390Fast Ethernet GlossaryFailover Fast writeFICON File BackupHitachi Data Systems Front EndHDmS Hitachi FlashAccessGlossary Hitachi CruiseControlHitachi InstantSplit Hitachi Multiplatform Backup/RestoreHitachi Data Systems Hitachi LUN ManagerHitachi Resource Manager Hitachi Rapid RecoveryGlossary Hitachi SANtinelHYPERtape Hitachi Data SystemsHXRC Hitachi Extended Remote Copy JavaLightning 9900 Series Logical VolumeGlossary Logical UnitMIPS Hitachi Data SystemsMBCP Meta-dataMTTR GlossaryMTBF NanoCopyOpen system Hitachi Data SystemsOn-linesystem Operating SystemRAID Recovery TimeGlossary RAID ControllersSCSI SwitchHitachi Data Systems SnapshotGlossary Virtual Logical Volume Image ManagerVolume SynchronousWarm site Hitachi Data SystemsWorkload Asia Headquarters Hitachi Data Systems Worldwide OfficesCorporate Headquarters Australia/New Zealand Headquarters
