Hitachi HiCommand Tiered Storage Manager [EOL] Reviews

The Tiered Storage Manager enables you to efficiently relocate data using the Data Lifecycle Management. This allocates the data storage destination using data access frequency and usage value. Information tends to be accessed most frequently when it is first created, but that frequency drops as time passes. Data with a high usage frequency is stored in high-performance storage. When the usage frequency of the data decreases, the data is migrated to a lower performance subsystem, resulting in significantly lower storage costs.

Manager data management software enables IT administrators to easily and interactively match application quality of service requirements to heterogeneous storage assets. Tiered Storage Manager software enables the nondisruptive movement of data volumes to match application-driven price, performance, and availability characteristics through an easy-to-use interface. It enables you to migrate data seamlessly. Current applications are not interrupted. You can access data in the same way both before and after it is migrated. Defining group attributes enables you to set or disable migration for multiple volumes in advance, reducing administrative time.

Data Movement between tiers.

Promoting volumes from lower performing disks to higher performing disks, reduced or eliminated latency issues.

Ability to perform NON-distruptive migrations.

Minimize downtime for migration events.
