Hitachi Solutions for Microsoft Windows Server Clustering

Windows Server Environments Need Failover Clustering

Hitachi Data Systems helps customers setup, deploy and support thousands of Microsoft clustered environments. We've partnered with Microsoft to deliver Windows Server clusters ranging from simple SAN solutions to multi-site enterprise clusters supporting the most demanding workloads. As a member of the Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster Configuration Program, Hitachi is committed to deliver tightly integrated clustered configurations designed to support the entire Microsoft solutions stack. Hitachi storage clusters provide tightly integrated support for Microsoft multi-site clusters and Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. Let Hitachi help you build and deploy a cluster-enabled Hyper-V, SQL, Exchange or SharePoint Server solution today. Hitachi has tested and certified literally dozens of various configurations for failover clusters built on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Tighter integration with Hyper-V

• Geographically disperses clustered applications between sites, with distance limited by only recovery point objective and bandwidth being, to help ensure business continuity
• Creates a Hyper-V virtual guest that can fail over between sites to help eliminate the potential for data loss and downtime
• Uses advanced failover clustering of a Hyper-V virtual guest to cluster-enable a standalone or nonclustered application for increased business agility
• Minimizes total cost of ownership by allowing multiple applications to be virtualized onto a smaller physical hardware infrastructure base
• Integrates with Microsoft Virtual Machine Manager to allow ease of management of all virtualized environments under a single management console
