Hitachi Storage Platform Can IBM Certification

JAKARTA - Hitachi Data Systems, provider of storage solutions product line announced that the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform (USP V) and USP VM obtain certification system solutions for Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS) from IBM.
Hitachi Mainframe continues to support the current environment in order to provide additional sources of data for mission critical applications customers and partners.
"With the pilot completed the qualification, we continue the partnership with IBM this. Also continue to reduce cost, complexity and risk for end-customers. Trial qualification process is very strict," said Roberto Basilio, Vice President Storage Platforms Product Management Hitachi Data Systems, through authorized ketarangan, Monday (23/3/2009).The settlement of this pilot is a significant result for the customers when they evaluate storage solutions to effectively perform and manage the consolidation of storage solutions in the Mainframe environment.With the large number of heterogeneous storage environments, interoperability is real is becoming increasingly important. We're happy to be able to continue our collaboration with IBM to provide the disk storage system is reliable and able to reduce the complexity," timpal Shuji Sugimoto, General Manager, Storage Systems Development, Disk Array Systems Division, Hitachi Ltd..Interoperability with IBM servers are absolute requirements for Mainframe users. Many organizations in the world's great financial services industry, telecommunications, and others who rely on IBM Mainframe systems to run mission-critical applications.Compatibility and interoperability certification with IBM GDPS system allows customers integrate storage with Hitachi storage in IBM Mainframe environment to provide the performance, reliability, and availability of their application to set important.Furthermore, support interoperability of Hitachi provide solutions to the upstream-downstream customers to improve the Mainframe environment. Hitachi approach allows customers to provide services such as centralized storage for maintaining the sustainability of business, a hierarchical storage management, data migration, and disaster recovery solutions, as an alternative to using the island to run a separate storage function the same.
Enterprise System Connection Test Connection (ESCON), Fiber Connection (FICON), and Fiber Channel Protocol (FCP) for some Hitachi IBM GDPS configuration has also been made.Once passed the compatibility and interoperability testing, IBM issued a Letter of Qualification that can be obtained on the IBM site.
