Hitachi Multiplatform Resource Sharing

Multiplatform Resource Sharing is built right into the Lightning 9900 V Series systems. With Multiplatform Resource Sharing, Lightning 9900 V Series systems users can share resources between UNIX® or Microsoft® Windows NT®/Windows® 2000 servers and S/390 mainframe platforms. Sharing resources across heterogeneous platforms lowers total cost of ownership, provides a centralized point for data management, and simplifies the management of heterogeneous systems.

Hitachi Priority Access

Priority Access allocates bandwidth on the basis of quality of service (QoS) requirements either at the physical port level or at the Host Storage Domain level within a physical port. See also Host Storage Domains.

Hitachi Rapid Recovery

The Hitachi Rapid Recovery solution for IBM® S/390®-attached storage combines NanoCopy™, Hitachi TrueCopy™ Asynchronous for S/390, 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 Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Lightning 9900™ V Series systems with NanoCopy capability to recover their critical data very quickly following an outage.

Hitachi RapidXchange™

RapidXchange software provides for the file conversion and exchange of data between S/390 and open systems hosts. RapidXchange software provides file access library software for open systems hosts and runs on the following host servers: HP/UX®, IBM AIX®, Sun™ Solaris™, HP® Tru64™, UNIX®, IBM DYNIX/ptx®, SGI™ IRIX®, NCR® UNIX® SVR4, and Microsoft® Windows NT®/Windows 2000®.

Hitachi Resource Manager™

Resource Manager is a comprehensive package 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™

SANtinel software controls host access to Hitachi Freedom Storage (including Lightning 9900 V Series systems) LUNs in open systems or SAN environments.

Hitachi ShadowImage™

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™ V Series system, or up to 20 across multiple Lightning 9900™ V Series 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 asynchronous for S/390 to provide additional copies in another system.
