Hitachi Data Systems Launches New Converged Solutions for Environments Running Sap Hana(R) - Seite 2

With the newest additions to the Hitachi VSP family -- the G400, G600 -- Hitachi has strengthened its support for SAP HANA and delivers a software-defined infrastructure that addresses customer-workload requirements from entry to the mainframe with a single software stack. The powerful software capabilities that are built into Hitachi Storage Virtualization Operating System (SVOS) allow 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.

In addition to new Hitachi UCP offerings for SAP HANA, Hitachi and Pentaho together are releasing a Hitachi UCP solution for SAP HANA that allows developers to process and refine big data from any source at scale. The addition of Pentaho technology brings big data integration, orchestration and delivery to enable better business decisions.

Foundational Hitachi technology combined with recently acquired cloud and managed services technologies from oXya and the power of Pentaho to capture, blend and analyze a broad array of data sources to derive new business insights sets the company's solutions apart from other vendors in the industry, helping ensure that organizations can easily translate data into competitive advantage.

Pricing and Availability
The UCP scale-up appliances for SAP HANA and the UCP with Pentaho solution for SAP HANA are scheduled to be generally available worldwide this quarter with the scale-out offering to follow shortly thereafter. Pricing will vary based on configuration.
