Hitachi HiCommand® Storage Services Manager Software
Hitachi HiCommand® Storage Services Manager software acts as the main console for Hitachi's heterogeneous storage infrastructure management and storage resource management. Storage Services Manager software delivers a strong foundation for Application Optimized Storage™ by auto-discovering hosts, switches, and disk subsystems while analyzing and visualizing their interdependencies. With accurate monitoring of storage capacity, 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 that powers the entire HiCommand suite delivering end-to-end capacity management for leading enterprise applications. By eliminating the need for various, vendor specific management tools, the global management of the heterogeneous storage network can be consolidated under one platform reducing operational and capital costs.
