Hitachi Server Priority Manager Software

Hitachi Server Priority Manager software enables you to meet application performance service level agreements (SLAs) by prioritizing the application's server port access. It allows a single storage system to limit the input/output (I/O) activity of non-critical servers, such as a development server, and prioritize the performance of business-critical servers accessing the same storage system port. Service levels can be set using Server Priority Manager software, ensuring that the critical servers achieve specified minimum throughput thresholds ahead of the non-critical servers. Production servers are thereby assured that business-critical applications are not adversely affected by non-critical applications.

Server Priority Manager is a component of the Hitachi Basic Operating System for the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V and is also available as a separate product for the Universal Storage Platform.
