Hitachi Data Systems and VMware are fully engaged to deliver industry leading solutions addressing end-to-end server to storage virtualization. VMware server technologies and Hitachi storage and software technologies offer powerful solutions with VMware for storage consolidation, backup and archiving, business continuity and storage management.
Support Virtualization with Advanced Storage Consolidation: Be Ready for Growth
Virtualization creates new storage requirements—and new opportunities for consolidating servers and information. One of the key features in VMware ESX is the advanced capabilities of VMotion, managed by DRS. Any virtual machine that resides on a Storage Area Network (SAN) can survive a crash of server hardware, which runs this virtual machine, and can be restarted on another ESX Server either manually or under automated control with VMware HA. But this presents a new challenge to the storage infrastructure—you need every virtual server image to be able to access the same storage. Hitachi Data Systems helps you create a flexible, powerful and highly available storage infrastructure that meets your needs today, and lets you grow seamlessly in the future. Our complete range of solutions lets you take full advantage of your VMware infrastructure.
Backup and Archive: Safeguard Your Information Safe
VMware environments can generate multiple copies of applications and data, increasing the amount of redundant data and increasing backup windows. We bring rapid online backup and rapid recovery capabilities to your VMware Virtual Machine environments with our storage system based replication products. And we can provide advanced archiving and data de-duplication capabilities with our Hitachi Content Archive Platform (HCAP) and Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solutions products.
Replication: Protect Your Virtual Environment
Protect all your applications with an effective disaster recovery plan. Hitachi Data Systems helps you ensure business continuity with advanced array-based replication solutions that meet the most demanding protection requirements. Hitachi TrueCopy® and Hitachi Universal Replicator software provide effective short and long distance system mirroring and the most advanced continuous data protection available.
Storage Management: Deploy Storage Based on Business Application Requirements
When you deploy VMware solutions, you need to be able to manage your entire infrastructure and link storage resources to individual applications. Only then can you identify and solve issues that affect service levels. With Hitachi HiCommand® storage management products you can rapidly isolate and fix storage problems with minimal affect on running applications.
Hitachi Data Systems and VMware are engaged at all levels of interoperability testing and certifications, support and engineering to assure timely and broad qualification and certifications for our mutual customers.
