recovery,data warehousing/data mining, or migration applications. Both synchronous and asynchronous
versions of True Copy Remote Replication software are available for open systems and mainframe
environments. True Copy Remote Replication software can also be integrated with StorageTek 9900
ShadowImage™ in-system replication software to enable robust business continuity solutions.
StorageTek 9900 Universal Replicator
The StorageTek 9900 Universal Replicator is intended for organizations that have enterprise-class
heterogeneous data replication needs for business continuity or operational improvement requirements. All
current copy products will work within a StorageTek 9900 series environment. When used in conjunction with
the StorageTek 9985V system, the Universal Replicator becomes the first storage-based replication software
component that provides server-free and application-transparent journal-based multi-target replication features
for data from heterogeneous storage environments. And it does this in a way that accommodates both open
and mainframe systems users and maximises the performance of the replication process.
Customers using Universal Replicator technology can optimise their ability to control recovery time objectives
and recovery point objectives, while maximizing their investment in StorageTek 9900 True Copy Remote
Replication software by leveraging their existing investment in the StorageTek 9900 Series storage systems. It
provides an unmatched business continuity framework that enables local, remote, and multi-site data
replication among 9985Vsystems including between and among hosted storage systems.
Sun StorageTek 9985V Dynamic Provisioning
The Sun StorageTek 9985V Dynamic Provisioning software improves storage utilization, simplifies
storage provisioning, and enables an easy, transparent way of adding additional storage when needed without
disruptions to applications. Also known as thin provisioning, Dynamic Provisioning allows certain Open
Systems customers the ability to overallocate storage to an application without it actually being physically
installed until needed. This minimizes the cost associated with overallocating and underutiliziation of storage
resources. It also helps simplify performance optimization by transparently spreading many hosts’ individual
IO patterns across many physical disks, thereby reducing performance management concerns and optimizing
performance/throughput. Dynamic provisioning reduces costs, power and cooling, improves performance,
simplifies management, and minimizes application service interruptions.
StorageTek 9900 HiCommand Tuning Manager
The StorageTek 9900 HiCommand Tuning Manager software enables tuning of large storage infrastructures
and helps manage storage growth. Beyond monitoring and reporting on capacity and performance, it employs
predictive trending to forecast future storage requirements to help you satisfy service-level agreements. Besides
deep integration with Sun storage systems, it accesses basic application-based utilization information from
heterogeneous storage systems to:
Predict and respond to capacity crises
Consolidate existing storage resources and plan for new ones
Identify performance bottlenecks.
