Real World Implications and Impact of Hitachi High Availability Manager
By: Tony Asaro on May 27, 2009
Hitachi just announced the Hitachi High Availability Manager and it actually does change the Enterprise-class storage landscape in the following ways:
1. Hitachi Enterprise-class storage system customers that utilize Hitachi High Availability Manager never have to do another data migration again. Think of the impact of that from a cost and operational perspective. It reduces planning, implementation, application downtime and risk associated with traditional migrations.
2. This solution enables customers - if they plan correctly - never having to pay extended maintenance fees. This is one of the biggest money wasters in the data center that impacts productivity and budgets. In this economy eliminating extended maintenance fees is critical to optimizing the data center.
3. What other Enterprise-class storage system offers a solution that ensures your applications never have to be brought offline? This is extremely compelling, unique and valuable to customers. Hitachi High Availability Manager redefines high availability in the data center and no other storage system can offer this capability.
