Published: 14 Jun 2004

What is HiCopy? Is it similar to Hitachi True Copy or Shadow Image?

HiCopy is a copy software that will copy data at the volume level between the Lightning (9900) and Thunder (9500) storage systems from Hitachi. It is specific to those two products and rather unique. It is not the same as True Copy or Shadow Image. True Copy is a remote copy solution that is "like to like". Shadow Image is a point-in-time copy solution that is within the same storage system.
