Ops Center Administrator reduces infrastructure management complexities and enables a simplified approach to managing storage infrastructures. It has intuitive graphical user interfaces and recommended configuration practices to streamline system configurations and storage management processes.
You can use Ops Center Administrator to easily provision new storage capacity for business applications without requiring in-depth knowledge of the underlying infrastructure resource details. It provides centralized management while reducing the number of steps to configure, optimize, and deploy new infrastructure resources.
Some of the key Ops Center Administrator capabilities include:
- Simplified user experience for managing infrastructure resources. Visual aids enable easy viewing and interpretation of key management information, such as used and available capacity, and guide features help you to quickly determine the next steps for a specific management task.
- Recommended system configurations to speed initial storage system setup and accelerate new infrastructure resource deployments.
- Integrated configuration workflows with Hitachi recommended practices to streamline storage provisioning and data protection tasks.
- Common, centralized management for supported storage systems.
- A REST-based API to provide full management programmability and control in addition to unified file-based management support.
- Automated SAN zoning during volume attach and detach. Optional auto-zoning eliminates the need for repetitive zoning tasks on the switch.
Note: If too many jobs are run simultaneously, it can exceed the processing capacity of the Ops Center Administrator server. Also, the jobs might hang up in the In Progress state and fail to complete. If this occurs, restart the Ops Center Administrator service and run the jobs at different times.
