Hitachi Data Systems intros nondisruptive migration service capability
Hitachi Data Systems Corporation has introduced a nondisruptive migration service capability that migrates from Hitachi enterprise storage to Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP). Nondisruptive migration by Hitachi claims to allow organizations to significantly reduce risk, eliminate business disruption, and more efficiently manage migration processes across multivendor storage systems, resulting in 90 percent less effort compared to industry averages.
Hu Yoshida, VP & CTO, Hitachi Data Systems said, "In today's business climate, organizations need to accelerate innovation and reduce operational expenses to increase their competitiveness. Only HDS provides the migration capabilities to eliminate downtime while dramatically reducing the risks and costs associated with adopting new technologies. The key to achieving this capability is that virtualization, specifically our proven Hitachi controller-based storage virtualization, is at the core of our new service and gives us distinct advantages in efficiency and cost effectiveness. By leveraging our new nondisruptive migration service capabilities, organizations can more efficiently manage migration processes to meet business requirements through a comprehensive methodology that addresses the people, process and technology involved in the transition."
Tom Frana, President & CEO, ViON Corporation said, "ViON delivers hardware and software as on-demand, capacity services to federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense, and at the core of our private cloud offering is Hitachi controller-based storage virtualization. After testing and validating the nondisruptive migration for Hitachi VSP, we believe the service is superior to other migration services in that we will be able to execute a technology refresh to Hitachi VSP in days and eliminate host and application downtime. The nondisruptive migration service by Hitachi addresses the requirements of our most demanding enterprise customers; no other virtualization technology vendors come close to Hitachi storage virtualization."
