order to protect it. The Data Protection Services team uses software in all three categories of
data movement:
1) Data Migration
2) Real-Time Copy
3) Point-in-Time Copy
The team will perform data relocation and migration tasks that establish rock-solid
backup and disaster recovery copy facilities to keep a business running in the event of
man-made or natural disaster. Often the need for an enterprise to allocate staff for these
tasks is eliminated.
With Data Protection Services, an enterprise can accelerate its return on existing
investments, streamline data management processes, eliminate redundant software and
costs, and reduce time to recovery.
As a first step in a typical engagement, an Engagement Manager works with the
enterprise to determine requirements based on the use of a proven Data Movement
questionnaire and the presentation of examples of prior engagements. Disaster recovery,
backup, data warehousing, business continuance, testing and development, and data center
consolidation are the types of projects that most frequently use this service. Then the team
reviews system, network, storage components, and phases of solution delivery with the
client. After a clear understanding of requirements, a detailed professional services proposal
is presented and reviewed with the enterprise. Hitachi Data Systems uses “best of breed”
consulting techniques and has an excellent reference list of satisfied clients that may be
contacted prior to beginning of the engagement. Examples of the Hitachi suite of data
protection services are discussed below:

of a data center, population of a geographically dispersed data mart, or testing new
applications. Hitachi Data Systems provides expert consultants to assist in assessing

process. Hitachi also offers services for developing remote testing at a disaster recovery
hot site to validate the proper configuration of the remote copy process in terms of
