Count on Hitachi Resource Manager software to help reduce storage management concerns and increase productivity
Hitachi Resource Manager —an activated package of management utilities, including
Hitachi FlashAccess, Hitachi LUN Manager, and Hitachi SANtinel software— is shipped with the Thunder 9531V, Thunder 9532V, and Thunder 9533V systems. Resource Manager provides storage administrators
with a flexible, easy-to-use configuration and error management tool. Storage administrators can monitor and manage their storage systems through a graphical user interface or a command line interface.
Resource Manager helps optimize performance by providing valuable resource
utilization information, such as I/O activity, cache usage, and availability status/event
notification. Administrators can also use Password Protection to authorize up to
20 users. This provides protection against unauthorized access to the Management
mode and stores the password list at the array level.
If integrating a Thunder 9500 V Series system with Lightning 9900 V Series systems or Sun StorEdge 9900 Series and T3 systems, or working with an extensive distributed environment, the HiCommand Management Framework can manage storage from any location.
