Hitachi Announces Integrated Storage Management Software Portfolio

Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi, and a provider of services-oriented storage solutions, has announced the introduction of a simple-to-use unified portfolio of highly-advanced storage management software solutions. The Hitachi Storage Command Suite is architected to combine advanced data management and protection capabilities in a simple, centralised interface, which provides the foundation for customers to achieve significant improvements in operational efficiency and business resilience throughout the enterprise.

“The combination of the Hitachi USP V and Hitachi Storage Command Suite provides a comprehensive services-oriented approach to storage management. The differentiated value customers can achieve by being able to assimilate all of their heterogeneous storage assets into a unified pool, as opposed to disparate islands of storage, is tremendous,” said Sean Moser, senior director, Global Software Product Management, Hitachi Data Systems.

The Hitachi Storage Command Suite consists of integrated software tools, which will help customers more easily manage their storage infrastructure and protect their block, file, and content data assets. It is also enabled to deliver non-disruptive data mobility and advanced replication and tiered storage management services across heterogeneous file, object and block-based storage assets.
