Hitachi Tiered Storage Manager software for data management enables IT administrators to easily and interactively match application quality of service requirements to heterogeneous storage assets. Tiered Storage Manager software, with all models of the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform™, enables the nondisruptive movement of data volumes to match application-driven price, performance and availability characteristics through an easy-to-use interface.
Tiered Storage Manager software is a prime enabler for the Hitachi Services Oriented Storage Solutions framework. Now, administrators can quickly provision storage to meet application time-to-deployment requirements, then easily fine tune provisioning into multi-dimensional tiers as time allows.
