Storage Automation
Get the most out of your Hitachi Storage systems
with SAM4H by peaq.
Volumes and replications are the “bread and butter” business of the storage management team. Therefore, it is absolutely vital for the storage management tool to execute these tasks in an easy, fast and secure manner.
Providing automation of storage management tasks “out of the box” avoids the need for additional tools and customizations, reduces complexity and unnecessary costs and ensures that standardization is applied.
SAM4H provisions storage based on predefined rules, that guarantee consistent quality of all managed volumes and replications. This allows separating engineering from operational tasks.

Quotes
"We got very excited about SAM4H allowing us to execute our provisioning tasks of our large and highly complex storage setup in an easy, fast and extremely robust manner. When we asked peaq to add support for our 3-data-center (3DC) setup, they responded quickly exceeding our expectations by far and large. We highly appreciate peaq’s ability to react to customer needs."
"Before SAM4H we were faced with severe challenges trying to execute our day-to-day provisioning tasks. The first day we tested SAM4H it immediately became evident that SAM4H would solve all our issues as we were able to catch up within a day with all the tasks that were still waiting in our task list, unable to be executed due to lack of functionality, stability, robustness and execution speed of our existing tool set."
