Program Products and Service Offerings

The Lightning 9900™ subsystem provides many advanced features and functions that increase
data accessibility, enable continuous user data access, and deliver enterprise-wide coverage
of on-line data copy/relocation, data access/protection, and storage resource management.
Hitachi Data Systems' software solutions provide a full complement of industry-leading copy,
availability, resource management, and exchange software to support business continuity,
database backup/restore, application testing, and data mining.

6 Chapter 1 Overview of the Lightning 9900™ Subsystem
Description
Enables the user to perform remote copy operations between 9900 subsystems
(and 7700E and 7700) in different locations. Hitachi TrueCopy provides
synchronous and asynchronous copy modes for both S/390
data. (The 7700 subsystem supports only synchronous remote copy operations.)
Allows the user to create internal copies of volumes for a wide variety of
(SI390) purposes including application testing and offline backup. Can be used in
®
conjunction with TrueCopy to maintain multiple copies of critical data at both the
primary and secondary sites.
Enables open-system users to perform TrueCopy and ShadowImage operations
by issuing commands from the host to the 9900 subsystem. The CCI software
supports scripting and provides failover and mutual hot standby functionality in
cooperation with host failover products.
Provides server-free backup solutions between the 9900 and backup devices
(e.g., tape, disk) in SAN environments. Supports the SCSI Extended Copy
command issued from the host server to the 9900 subsystem.
Provides compatibility with the IBM
software function, which performs server-based asynchronous remote copy
operations for mainframe LVIs.
Enables S/390 ® users to make Point-in-Time (PiT) copies of production data,
without quiescing the application or causing any disruption to end-user
operations, for such uses as application testing, business intelligence, and
disaster recovery for business continuance.
Enables the rapid transfer of data from other disk subsystems onto the 9900
subsystem. Data migration operations can be performed while applications are
online using the data which is being transferred.
Enables users to transfer data between S/390
using the ExSA™ and/or FICON™ channels, which provides high-speed data
transfer without requiring network communication links or tape.
Allows users to perform mainframe-based volume-level backup and restore
operations on the open-system data stored on the multiplatform 9900
subsystem.
Enables users to perform mainframe-based file-level backup/restore operations
on the open-system data stored on the multiplatform 9900 subsystem.
Enables users to transfer large data files at ultra-high channel speeds in either
direction between open systems and mainframe servers.
