Hitachi Multiplatform Resource Sharing

Multiplatform Resource Sharing is built right into the Lightning 9900 V Series
systems. With Multiplatform Resource Sharing, Lightning 9900 V Series systems users
can share resources between UNIX

or Microsoft

®

Windows NT

®

/Windows

®

2000

servers and S/390 mainframe platforms. Sharing resources across heterogeneous
platforms lowers total cost of ownership, provides a centralized point for data
management, and simplifies the management of heterogeneous systems.

Hitachi Priority Access

Priority Access allocates bandwidth on the basis of quality of service (QoS)
requirements either at the physical port level or at the Host Storage Domain level
within a physical port. See also Host Storage Domains.

Lightning 9900 V Series systems) LUNs in open systems or SAN environments.

Hitachi ShadowImage

ShadowImage is a firmware-based software copy utility that uses command-line
interfaces to create up to ten copies of a volume within one Lightning 9900

V Series

system, or up to 20 across multiple Lightning 9900

V Series systems. Graphic or

command-line interfaces control data replication and fast resynchronization of logical
volumes. ShadowImage is available for open systems or S/390 environments.
ShadowImage also works in concert with Hitachi TrueCopy asynchronous for S/390 to
provide additional copies in another system.
