Hitachi Universal Replicator

The Hitachi Universal Replicator software intelligently replicates data among storage environments controlled through the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V, satisfying the most demanding disaster recovery and uptime requirements. Since its introduction on the Hitachi TagmaStore® Universal Storage Platform and Network Storage Controller, the Universal Replicator software has set a new standard for data protection by redefining the way asynchronous replication is performed.

Reliable data storage and recovery systems are essential in today’s market climate where downtime can be very costly. Businesses must manage increasing amounts of data across a variety of storage systems and operating environments in various locations, while optimizing usage of storage hardware resources and minimizing the management burden.

To address these needs, Hitachi Universal Replicator software provides the enterprise-class performance associated with storage system-based replication while delivering resilient business continuity. Through the Hitachi RAID storage systems, Universal Replicator provides a powerful data management and recovery solution that replicates data to a variety of storage platforms at one or multiple remote sites. Data is replicated asynchronously over any distance without the need for redundant servers or replication appliances, thus significantly reducing resource consumption.

The Hitachi Universal Replicator software helps organizations to:

Lower the cache and resource consumption on production/primary storage systems

Improve bandwidth utilization

Simplify bandwidth planning

Mitigate the impact of network failures

Gain more flexibility in trading off between Recovery Point Objective and cost

Implement advanced multi–data center support more easily

Move data among levels of tiered storage systems more easily

Fully leverage the Universal Storage Platform V and optimize the storage infrastructure
