Hitachi Storage Services Manager Software
Hitachi Storage Services Manager software (formerly HiCommand® Storage Services Manager software) provides storage infrastructure management and storage resource management (SRM) across heterogeneous storage assets by auto-discovering hosts, switches, and disk subsystems while analyzing and visualizing their interdependencies. With accurate reporting of storage assets, application availability and quality of service is ensured while optimizing the utilization of storage resources.
Storage Services Manager software leverages the standards based SMI-S architecture to deliver end-to-end capacity management for leading enterprise applications and enables the management consolidation of a heterogeneous storage network under a common platform to reduce operational and capital costs.
Complementary Hitachi Storage Services Manager modules include:
Hitachi Chargeback provides powerful asset management and chargeback capabilities to accurately account the associated costs with the quality and quantity of storage utilized by different business units.
Hitachi Global Reporter provides aggregated reporting of multiple Storage Services Manager software servers for efficient management of enterprise-wide storage operations.
