Hitachi 9900 User Manual
Series’ systems, Priority Access software and Host Storage Domains guarantee that the most
crucial applications get the highest level of service. FlashAccess allows users to quickly and
easily lock and unlock information into cache in real time. A user can confidently "fill it up
and max it out" to meet performance requirements using the maximum raw capacity of the
Lightning 9900 V Series system. Hitachi Parallel Access Volume (HPAV) software permits
multiple applications running on an S/390 server to access the same information
simultaneously. The Multiple Allegiance (MA) software solution extends the HPAV
software capability to applications running on multiple S/390 servers. Together, HPAV
software and MA software reduce queuing, which results in significantly decreased batch
times and swifter responses in today’s high-transaction environments.

Graph-Track software is a unique and effective tool that has the scope to monitor all
aspects of hardware performance from a centralized utility. Through a GUI, information
can be exported to multiple formats quickly and easily for analysis and reporting programs.
Graph-Track software displays real-time or historical information for all connected
Lightning 9900 V Series and Thunder 9500 V Series storage systems. Identifying utilization
peaks and ongoing trends positions users to make rapid and informed decisions as needed
to stay competitive. Dynamic Link Manager software automates I/O load balancing, path
failover, and recovery capabilities in the event a single path breaks down. In a unique
balancing act, Dynamic Link Manager software ensures that no single path becomes
congested and overworked while another is underutilized. By automatically allocating data
to an alternate path, the threat of application failure is removed. The Performance
Maximizer package includes Hitachi Performance Monitor and CruiseControl software for
intelligent performance tuning. The third component, Priority Access software, works with
port virtualization and VERITAS Volume Manager to provide the highest level of service
access available today.

Data Movement Suite
Information needs to be exchanged regularly for such tasks as data synchronization,
populating data warehousing systems, or application development and testing. Typically,
data is exchanged in either direction, between a mainframe and open systems. However, the
ever-diminishing mainframe batch window, coupled with increasing volumes of
information, often impedes this process. The Data Movement Suite includes three software
packages that eliminate many of the constraints related to exchanging information in
heterogeneous environments. RapidXchange software saves time as it delivers high
performance and reliable data sharing among heterogeneous host platforms. Swift
information transfer is achieved without placing additional burdens on the network
infrastructure or tape transport equipment. By improving exchange processes between
mainframe and open systems, the threat of over-stressing the network is reduced. When
combined with FlashAccess software, RapidXchange software delivers information even
faster to keep pace with widespread applications and their demands.

Multi-vendor file transfer capabilities are demonstrated in the Hitachi Data Systems
strategic alliance with Tantia Technologies. HARBOR File Transfer adds automation to
large data file transfers at ultrahigh channel speeds in either direction between open systems
and mainframe servers. After splintering large files into more manageable pieces, HARBOR
File Transfer and RapidXchange software direct the data in multiple streams through
Lightning 9900 V Series systems, making information available and accessible at mega rates.
With TrueCopy software, the Hitachi Data Systems team of experts ensures continuous
access to information while they carry out a client’s plan to restructure operations or
consolidate decentralized systems into an existing datacenter. Data Protection Services
incorporates components of the Business Continuity Suite for applications with industry-
leading Hitachi Freedom Storage systems. This combination of services, software, and
storage provides a complete solution to help implement the processes involved in
duplicating and transferring data to both local and remote locations.
