Hitachi Solutions for Microsoft Hyper-V
Server virtualization and replication technologies play a key role in minimizing risk and maximizing efficiencies in midrange and enterprise environments. These technologies allow companies to consolidate and optimize IT environments, protect data and applications, and reduce planned and unplanned downtime.
For companies with virtualized Microsoft Windows environments, Hitachi Data Systems provides the only end-to-end virtualization solution with automated failback and automatic data resynchronization capabilities – providing true disaster recovery for Microsoft virtual environments. Hitachi Storage Cluster for Microsoft Hyper-V with Live Migration builds on industry-leading Hitachi storage virtualization technology.
New with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, Live Migration adds important new functionality to Microsoft Hyper-V environments and - importantly - to Hitachi Storage Cluster for Microsoft Hyper-V. Live Migration enables the movement of virtual machines between two virtualization host servers at the same time or different sites without any interruption of service. Live Migration is supported on both the Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage Series and the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform Series and with Hitachi TrueCopy synchronous system-based replication.Read more
