Beyond Technology - News and Views on Storage Innovation

When you're ready to simplify management of a SAN environment-you'll find all your tools in the HiCommand® Suite.
Reduce management tasks by reporting and monitoring on many servers' multipath storage connections-from a single console.

Is your company's IT department burdened with managing numerous servers' storage paths in large SAN environments? If so, reliability is in peril.and downtime is likely more frequent than need be.

In a recent report, Tony Asaro, Senior Analyst, ESG, explains: "Agents and device drivers have spread like a virus on host servers throughout the enterprise.

Now, in order to reduce the complexity found in SANs today and to resolve multiple availability issues, Hitachi HiCommand® Global Link Availability Manager software provides simple integrated single-point redundant storage path management and reporting, increasing administrator efficiencies and minimizing configuration errors. Automated path health checks, reporting alerts and error information from each host, and rapid troubleshooting are the generous benefits made available.
