Hitachi Business Continuity Manager Software
Hitachi Business Continuity Manager software for IBM® z/OS® offers centralized, enterprise-wide replication management for IBM z/OS mainframe environments. Through a single consistent, interface based on familiar TSO/ISPF full-screen panels, Business Continuity Manager software automates Hitachi Universal Replicator, Hitachi ShadowImage® In-System Replication, and Hitachi TrueCopy® Remote Replication software operations. Access to critical system performance metrics and thresholds allows proactive problem avoidance and optimum performance to ensure that service-level objectives are met or exceeded. The Business Continuity Manager software auto-discovery capability eliminates hours of tedious input and costly human error when configuring and protecting complex, mission critical applications and data.
This product is enhanced by Hitachi Replication Manager, a new software tool that configures, monitors and manages Hitachi storage-based replication products for both open systems and mainframe environments in a way that simplifies and optimizes the configuration, operations, task management and automation and monitoring of the critical storage components of the replication infrastructure.
