Today's enterprise requires instant access to mission-critical information. Our Performance Enhancement Suite enables you to accelerate your business by reducing information access roadblocks.

Performance Enhancement Suite

Eliminate performance bottlenecks with Hitachi CruiseControl™. This software monitors, analyzes and balances your system, either automatically or by making tuning recommendations to administrators. CruiseControl replaces traditional, time-consuming, and often error-prone manual load balancing processes.

Hitachi Priority Access allows you to define and optimize the data access performance of servers. With Priority Access, you can ensure that production servers have prioritized access to data over development servers.

Frequently used information needs to be continuously accessible. Bringing lightning-fast information access speed, Hitachi FlashAccess™ allows users to "lock and unlock" information into cache quickly and easily in real time.

Conventional methods for accelerating access to active volumes of information have involved labor-intensive performance tuning and the reallocation and splitting of data across multiple volumes. Hitachi Parallel Access Volume permits multiple applications running on an S/390® server to access the same information simultaneously. Multiple Allegiance extends this capability to applications running on multiple S/390 servers. Together, HPAV and MA reduce queuing, which results in significantly decreased batch times and lightning-fast responses in today's high-transaction environments.

Analyzing discrete storage management complexities, and determining the precise impact of each activity on operations is critical. Hitachi Graph-Track™ offers an efficient, reliable and centralized way to manage performance.

Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager™ provides automatic load balancing, path failover and recovery capabilities in the event of a path failure. This helps guarantee that no single path becomes overworked, while others are under-utilized.

The special Performance Maximizer Package includes Hitachi Performance Monitor and CruiseControl for intelligent performance tuning. CruiseControl monitors, analyzes and balances your system, either automatically or by making tuning recommendations to administrators. Priority Access rounds out the Performance Maximizer Package by providing the highest level of service access, along with port virtualization and VERITAS® Volume Manager™.
