Hitachi Replication Manager
For Hitachi Data Systems customers that leverage in-system or distance replication capabilities of their storage systems, Hitachi Replication Manager is the software tool that configures, monitors and manages Hitachi storage system-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.
Hitachi Replication users will benefit from a uniquely integrated tool that allows them to better control RPO and RTO objectives of their organizations.
The solution builds on existing Hitachi technology by leveraging the powerful replication capabilities of the storage systems and by combining robust reporting, mirroring and features previously available in separate offerings. It decreases management complexity while increasing staff productivity and providing greater control than previously available solutions through a single, consistent user interface.
Features
- Replication Configuration Management—lets users set up all Hitachi replication products without requiring other tools.
- Multiple-user Design and Role-based User Access Control—achieves stringent access control for multiple users.
- Task Management—allows scheduling and automation of the configuration of replicated data volume pairs.
- Application Awareness—provides Split-Mirror operation and guarantees the consistency of replicated data in compliance with database vendor guidelines (available in a future release).
