Applications |
Disk mirroring
Comprehensive data replication schemes can be
implemented more easily with SANtricity Software
Suite by using Internal Volume Copy for local
redundancy and Remote Volume Mirror for remote
mirroring. |
Storage consolidation
SANtricity Software Suite makes storage
consolidation across Open Systems environments
practical by providing centralized administration
and capacity management across all StorageTek
D-Series and B-Series disk systems. |
Disk management
SANtricity Software Suite can be used to manage,
administer and maintain StorageTek’s D-Series and
B-Series disk systems in Open Systems environments. |

systems, and with UNIX and PC-based operating
systems. |
Persistent Group Reservations
Persistent Group Reservations makes database
applications and clusters easier to protect with
more efficient backups. |
SAN
Storage Partitioning
Improve storage utilization and efficiency through
consolidation of storage in multi-platform
environments. You can share Open Systems disk
investment with as many as 64 hosts or host groups.

Snapshot
Copy
This feature provides an instantaneous point-in-time
image of a volume and requires only a fraction of
the disk space of conventional copies.
|
Internal
Volume Copy (IVC)
RVM protects against data loss through remote data
replication. Data is transferred at Fibre Channel
speeds. |
Remote
Volume Mirror (RVM)
RVM protects against data loss through remote data
replication. Data is transferred at Fibre Channel
speeds. |
