DEPLOY ENTERPRISE-CLASS SQL SERVER DATABASE ENVIRONMENTS

Increased availability Decreased downtime Improved

manageability

Hitachi Data Systems storage platforms are the smart choice for Microsoft SQL Server database environments because they provide an application infrastructure that delivers high availability, end-to-end. Hitachi Data Systems successfully meet Microsoft SQL Server Always On, Storage Solution Review Program requirements, and therefore ensure customers that Hitachi Data Systems’ storage platforms achieve the highest levels of application availability for SQL Server 2008 R2.

SQL Server

• Minimize downtime.

• Speed up recovery.

• Achieve the appropriate level of availability as defined by customer service level agreements (SLAs).

• Recover quickly from unplanned downtime

• Minimize downtime from system maintenance and operational procedures in order to ensure the smooth operation of mission-critical applications.

• Investigate, monitor, and recover damaged data across the enterprise by using powerful and productive management tools that simplify recovery.

DEPLOY LARGER COST-EFFECTIVE MAILBOXES

Faster deployment High availability Better performance

with lower cost

Hitachi Data Systems AMS Solutions for Exchange 2010 offer the full value of

traditional RAID-protected storage combined with Microsoft Database Availability Groups protection for distributed multi-site environments.

Exchange

• Deploy faster using HDS

sizing and configurations tools.

• HDS sizing tools are based on

Microsoft best practices.

• The tools provide a complete

server, network, and storage

bill of materials and support

mailbox scenario planning.

• HDS RAID-protected storage,

hot-spares, and multipathing

provide higher availability.

• DAG and LAG copies ensure

business continuity.

• HDS dynamic pooling automatically distributes workloads across more disks for better performance.

• Dynamic tiering automatically moves data blocks between SSD,SAS, and SATA to increase performance of active data blocks while moving inactive data blocks to lower cost storage.
