To bolster the performance and reduce TCO by up to 30 percent to help customers achieve business transformation and pave the way for private cloud deployments Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd, has unveiled significant enhancements to three key infrastructure solutions: Hitachi Unified Storage VM (HUS VM) all flash system, Hitachi Unified Storage and Hitachi NAS Platform, and Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP).

The new turbocharged solutions maximize IT investments and help customers achieve unsurpassed operational savings despite today’s relentless data growth and cloud infrastructure complexities.

HUS VM all flash system, Hitachi Unified Storage and Hitachi NAS Platform and the enhanced Hitachi UCP portfolio give enterprises the most efficient IT platforms on the market to accelerate insight, improve decision-making and free up resources to attain innovation that transforms businesses. Cost-effective flexibility and elasticity of private cloud deployments offer the speed and ability to sustain peak workloads. These benefits are vital to support the service levels enterprises require to meet user demands.

Organizations can increase their pace of innovation and more effectively harness data to build competitive advantage through:

– Performance: Up to double the performance of alternatives for faster access to information.

– Efficiency: Increase infrastructure and IT personnel efficiency through virtualization, capacity efficiencies and auto provisioning to free up resources for more strategic initiatives to support business goals.

– Economics: Reduce TCO by up to 30 percent through unified management, auto migration and storage provisioning to accelerate business insights.

“Customers today are focused on business transformation. They need information solutions that improve business processes and simplify IT so they can, in turn, become more agile to react to market conditions and innovate more quickly,” reminisces Roberto Basilio, Vice President, Storage Platforms Product Management, Hitachi Data Systems. “The days of capex spending are behind us. The technologies we are announcing redefine the economics of storage by delivering opex savings that are essential to a business’s bottom line. By eliminating performance hiccups associated with disparate architectures and information silos in the data center environment, HDS sets a flexible yet powerful foundation for private cloud and big data platforms that helps to accelerate insight, improve decision-making and free up resources for customers to innovate with information,” he says.

“The enhancements HDS has just rolled out to its key flash, unified and converged storage solutions should significantly help customers to get a greater impact for their IT dollar,” says Terri McClure, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. “The virtualization, efficiency and automation HDS provides can allow businesses to shift resources from tactical and maintenance operations that support the status quo to more strategic initiatives that support business goals. The fact that HDS can deploy a converged infrastructure solution and integrated computing options to support private cloud environments in less than one week is a real point of differentiation. We expect enterprises and mid-market companies to get excited about these new capabilities and quickly start reaping the benefits,” feels McClure.
