Elevates IT With Always-on Data Availability; Hitachi Data Instance Director v6 Helps Deliver Recovery and DR As-A-Service While Eliminating Backup Window, and Enabling Near-Instant Data Recovery Across Critical Application Environments
Hitachi Vantara introduced the latest version of its specialized data recovery platform, Hitachi Data Instance Director (HDID) v6, which significantly modernizes IT environments and how data is protected. This newest version improves data availability – a requirement for transforming an organization into a modern digital enterprise – by supporting always-on service objectives.
Now generally available, HDID v6 unites operational recovery, business continuity, and disaster recovery and copy-data management capabilities with business-critical application environments. This release addresses the needs of customers, partners and global system integrators requiring a cloud-enabled data recovery solution. It provides a comprehensive application-programming interface, multi-tenancy and granular role-based access controls coupled with a highly scalable, whiteboard-style policy engine.
Customers and cloud providers alike can benefit from outcomes by:
- Aligning user access capabilities to the business’ organizational structure and responsibilities through granular role-based access controls.
- Delivering recovery and DR as a service for private cloud through a functional, rich REST API.
- Simplifying complex business continuity policies through a whiteboard-based, highly scalable user interface.
- Protecting from ransomware through automation of storage-assisted volume-locking functionality to enable fast, full recovery.
“Traditional approaches to data protection cannot protect critical data fast enough or frequently enough. They also can’t recover from multiple failure scenarios quickly enough to meet today’s data availability requirements,” said Iri Trashanski, senior vice president, market development and product management, Hitachi Vantara. “Our goal at Hitachi Vantara is to help customers achieve tangible outcomes that positively drive business forward. HDID does just that. It delivers fast and frequent protection with virtually no impact on production applications as well as near-instant local and remote recovery.”
With data breaches and cybercrime continuing to escalate, protecting organizations’ most vital asset – consumer and other data – has become the number one concern for many CEOs and senior leadership. HDID v6 provides the core capabilities for Cloud providers to supply modern data protection services to their customers, enhancing their competitiveness and profitability.
