HDS unveils new agile cloud solutions

BANGALORE, INDIA: Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. and a provider of service oriented storage solutions, announced the new portfolio of agile cloud technologies to accelerate and simplify the adoption of enterprise cloud computing environments.

The portfolio delivers the industry’s most integrated set of computing resources to create a single pool of virtualized block, file and content storage to support the diverse uses that are evolving in cloud computing today, and enables organizations to adopt cloud services at their own pace. As part of the cloud offerings, Hitachi Data Systems also unveiled the new Hitachi Content Platform that provides essential security, reliability and multitenancy for cloud infrastructures.

Miklos Sandorfi, chief strategist, File and Content Services, Hitachi Data Systems, said: “Current cloud methodologies are not in tune with the heterogeneous realities many organizations face today, creating the same poorly utilized data silos that organizations tried to avoid through cloud computing efforts. Our unique approach delivers a dynamic cloud environment that virtualizes all existing storage resources into a single, agile service oriented infrastructure that reduces storage costs, mitigates risk and is easily managed in the face of changing demands.”

Hitachi Cloud Customer Benefits

With sophisticated storage virtualization, Hitachi Data Systems enables a secure, multitenant environment that ensures privacy among various constituents within a shared infrastructure that can be managed from a single command suite.

Supporting a variety of protocols and third party technology, enterprises and service providers can further leverage existing investments in hardware and software and allow legacy devices to inherit cloud attributes, thereby preventing cloud from becoming just another silo and eliminating the need for a complete refresh or update of hardware and software or the need to rewrite applications.

As a result, Hitachi Data Systems cloud solutions enable enterprise customers to choose the best possible technologies to address their challenges at their desired pace and budget resources. By offering an integrated set of cloud solutions, Hitachi Data Systems can deliver an agile cloud infrastructure that empowers customers to look at their existing IT infrastructure in new ways.
