The Hitachi IT Operations Analyzer software uniquely delivers Root Cause Analysis functionality to automate and simplify fault identification for up to 250 server, network and storage nodes. Ideal for the administrator with limited resources to effectively monitor and manage the data center, Root Cause Analysis helps reduce the steps and complexity of finding the root of the problem.

Using patent-pending technology to calculate the probable cause of an event, Root Cause Analysis provides the administrator with a quick path to fault identification, which can reduce the mean time to repair the problem. The faster the root cause can be identified and fixed, the sooner IT operations can resume — helping to minimize system downtime and costs, and improve administrative efficiencies.

Meeting both availability and performance expectations across the data center is often vital to maintaining business commitments. Event alerts notify administrators of failures or negative changes, such as hardware faults, performance bottlenecks of networked storage, slowed server response and other infringements of normal IT activity. Finding the causal event can be time consuming and difficult if the administrator does not have knowledge of the system configurations and dependencies.
