Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), the global provider of Services Oriented Storage Solutions, has announced it is first to achieve compatibility with VMware Site Recovery Manager, supporting heterogeneous virtualised storage.

Following comprehensive qualification testing in collaboration with VMware, Hitachi is now offering customers the Hitachi Storage Replication Adapter, a software plug-in that is designed to offer organisations continuous, real-time local and remote replication and automatic failover capabilities to ensure resilient data protection, high availability and disaster recovery for VMware environments.

The Hitachi Storage Replication Adapter facilitates the linkage between Hitachi’s array-based replication technologies, including Hitachi Universal Replicator, Hitachi TrueCopy Synchronous, and Hitachi ShadowImage in-system replication software, and VMware Site Recovery Manager.

“The joint Hitachi Data Systems and VMware solution offers a best-in-class solution for customers looking to implement an end-to-end, robust business continuity strategy for their virtual infrastructures and obtain improved Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO),” said John Mansfield, Senior Vice President, Global Solutions Strategy and Development, Hitachi Data Systems.

VMware Site Recovery Manager is complementary to Hitachi Data Systems’ services-oriented data protection and recovery solutions. Leveraging a common, integrated storage management platform, customers can improve both the utilisation and business continuity of their most critical business applications, reduce risks, and improve the resilience of both servers and storage assets.

The Hitachi Data Storage Replication Adapter is immediately available to Hitachi Data Systems and VMware customers.
