Hitachi Data Systems Unveils Powerful Lineup of Software-Defined Infrastructure Solutions Designed for All Transactional and Analytics-Driven Workloads
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Apr 28, 2015) - CONNECT 2015 - Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501), today announced a leap forward in its technology leadership for delivering software-defined infrastructures that enable customers to simplify IT and free data from traditional hardware and location constraints, making it more accessible for all existing and new analytics-driven workloads. These new and enhanced offerings have been designed to help customers achieve greater levels of information access through virtualized, hyper-converged and scale-out platforms that are built to accelerate the journey to IT as a service (ITaaS) through application-led, software-defined architectures. Hitachi Data Systems also announced today new solutions and services to make society safer, smarter and healthier.
To effectively unlock the value of a software-defined infrastructure, technology must simplify operations through automation, drive insight through better access to information, and improve agility through abstraction that turns fixed assets into flexible resources.
Hitachi Data Systems is delivering on those goals by:
- Extending its Hitachi Storage Virtualization Operating System (SVOS) to an expanded Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) family
- Expanding the Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) family to cover core to edge or small to large converged and hyper-converged infrastructure models
- Introducing the Hitachi Hyper Scale-Out Platform (HSP) for fast-growing data analytics workloads
- Bringing to market new software to automate the provisioning and protection of application environments
Storage Virtualization to the Masses
With the newest additions to the Hitachi VSP family -- the G200, G400, G600 and the upcoming G800 -- Hitachi Data Systems is the only IT
vendor to address customer workload requirements from entry to the mainframe with a single software stack. Extending the reach of powerful software capabilities that are built into Hitachi SVOS
allows the entire VSP family to offer native heterogeneous storage virtualization and multi-site active-active storage -- as well as fully compatible data migration, replication and management.
Customers now have the ability to choose systems based on the necessary capacity, performance and price required to meet their business goals, not because of functional difference.
