Zero RPO Continuity
GAD's synchronous, active-active replication across dual VSP systems delivers zero recovery point objective — ensuring no data is lost if either storage system or site fails, meeting the most stringent RTO/RPO requirements.
Build expert-level skills in Hitachi Global-Active Device — covering GAD architecture, I/O operations, CCI and Ops Center configuration, GUI and CCI volume provisioning, GAD pair management, I/O mode operations, Ops Center Protector adoption, failure scenarios, recovery procedures, and automated volume migration using GAD and Ops Center Automator.
HQT-6712 covers the management and operations of Hitachi Global-Active Device — the active-active synchronous replication technology that provides continuous data availability across dual VSP systems. The curriculum addresses GAD architecture and I/O operations, system configuration via CCI and Hitachi Ops Center, volume provisioning and expansion using both GUI and CCI interfaces, GAD pair monitoring, I/O mode operations, and pair management workflows.
Advanced modules cover Hitachi Ops Center Protector adoption of existing GAD solutions, CCI operations with Protector, GAD failure scenario analysis, and structured recovery procedures. The final module addresses GAD-based volume migration configurations and Ops Center Automator integration — giving storage professionals the skills to operate, protect, and migrate with GAD in production enterprise environments.
Global-Active Device's active-active architecture delivers zero RPO and near-zero RTO — making it the foundation for business continuity strategies in financial services, healthcare, and any mission-critical enterprise environment.
GAD's synchronous, active-active replication across dual VSP systems delivers zero recovery point objective — ensuring no data is lost if either storage system or site fails, meeting the most stringent RTO/RPO requirements.
GAD's I/O mode management and Ops Center Protector integration enable transparent failover with no host-side intervention — eliminating planned and unplanned downtime for applications running on GAD-protected volumes.
GAD-based migration configurations combined with Ops Center Automator enable storage teams to migrate volumes between VSP systems with zero downtime — simplifying storage refresh and data centre consolidation projects.
Ops Center Automator and CCI scripting capabilities allow storage operations teams to automate GAD pair management, migration workflows, and recovery procedures — reducing operational risk in large-scale deployments.
Describe GAD architecture, functionality, and I/O operations — understanding how active-active replication across dual VSP systems provides continuous data availability.
Configure GAD systems using CCI and Hitachi Ops Center, applying both command-line and GUI-based configuration approaches for enterprise GAD deployments.
Provision GAD volumes using the GUI and CCI, allocate volumes to hosts, and expand mapped GAD volumes as capacity requirements grow.
Monitor and manage GAD pairs — understanding I/O modes and performing pair management operations using both the GUI and CCI interfaces.
Adopt existing GAD solutions into Ops Center Protector, manage CCI operations within Protector, and execute structured recovery procedures following GAD failure scenarios.
Configure GAD-based volume migration topologies and use Hitachi Ops Center Automator to automate migration workflows between VSP systems.
