- Hitachi Strengthens its SRM Portfolio
Hitachi has done much to reduce the proliferation of application host-based monitoring and reporting agents, and to replace CLIs with state-of-the-art GUIs.Storage Command Suite can be seen as both a response to customer demand, and a statement of direction. We expect further integration, simplification, and automation enhancements to follow. (May 2008)
- Hitachi Shows Services Oriented Storage in the Real World
To date, storage virtualization has yet to truly capture the hearts and minds of enterprise IT administrators. It certainly has not done so in the same way that server virtualization has captured the imagination - and purchase orders - of datacenter operators. We believe this will continue to be the case as long as vendors of virtualized storage fail to present a compelling value proposition. (27-Mar-2007)
- HDS to the Power of Blue
