Hitachi Data Systems sees strong momentum in cloud demand and adoption in Apac

BANGALORE, INDIA: Hitachi Data Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd, is seeing increased demand for, and adoption of its cloud offerings from businesses in Asia Pacific as the company continues to execute on its cloud development strategy. Cloud computing users and IT service providers in Asia Pacific are embracing Hitachi Data Systems solutions.

The newly launched converged data center solutions combine and optimize enterprise class storage, Hitachi Compute Blade servers and industry standard network infrastructure components that will further support the rapid development of cloud in Asia Pacific.

Hitachi Data Systems solutions let customers deploy an integrated portfolio of cloud solutions and services. They simplify and accelerate cloud deployments to meet the needs of companies of all sizes. The single, underlying platform deployment approach also lets customers build and scale cloud solutions as quickly or as slowly as they want to — without the need to undo pre-existing IT systems, thus protecting their IT investments.

“Asia Pacific is a fast developing yet fragmented market. Enterprises across the region have very different requirements when they look for the latest cloud solutions because of local market conditions. The Hitachi Data Systems cloud approach is unique in allowing organizations in Asia Pacific to build, scale and deploy agile cloud services and solutions at their own pace to meet existing needs,” said Kevin Eggleston, senior vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific, Hitachi Data Systems. “If additional solutions are required to be installed down the line as the customer’s business evolves and grows, this can be accomplished affordably, quickly and seamlessly by adding single components as required — no more, no less.”

One of the key enablers of the Hitachi Data Systems cloud strategy is its integration of storage, server and data network components into a single, integrated cloud infrastructure foundation known as the infrastructure cloud. The company’s converged solution delivers significant advantages in the performance, deployment speed, reliability and management of these components and solves many of the concerns organizations have about the deployment of cloud solutions.

Utilizing the Hitachi Data Systems cloud solutions, customers can realize potential decreases in operational expenditure, greater compatibility, higher ROI, shorter deployment cycles, all without having to re-architect their existing systems.
