Hitachi Data Systems Unveils Industry’s First Integrated File Sync and Share for the Enterprise
HDS Brings Enterprise Security to the Mobile Workforce;
New HDS Cloud Solutions Reduce TCO by 60% and Backup Space Needed by 30%
Delhi, India. — May 22, 2013 — Hitachi
Data Systems Corporation (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi,
Ltd. (TSE: 6501), today unveiled new solutions and services that allow
enterprises to adopt cloud computing more readily, enable their mobile
workforce more securely and reliably, and provide a better IT experience
to their end users. The Hitachi Data Systems family of cloud services
and solutions offer
new options to help manage the multiple demands of IT. These demands
include explosive growth of unstructured data, user expectations to
access information from anywhere, and the requirement to ensure
security, simplicity and protection of all data wherever it lives. With
today’s new HDS offerings, customers can achieve the cost and
flexibility benefits of the cloud by reducing capex and opex:
‐ Hitachi Content Platform Anywhere:
The industry’s first integrated file sync and share solution that is
built, sold and supported for the enterprise entirely by a single
vendor. It bring secure mobility to the enterprise – it lets users
access data and collaborate on any device, from any location at any time
and easily share files. And IT keeps the data within its control,
security and compliance practices, unlike consumer-grade file sharing
services which have struggled to gain the confidence of enterprise IT
groups. HCP Anywhere is built expressly for the enterprise and jumps
ahead of industry alternatives in ease of implementation and control of
important, but rarely discussed issues of encryption, key ownership and
terms of service.
‐ New version of Hitachi Content Platform (HCP):
One seamless cloud storage platform for data protection, enterprise
mobility and content cloud, it features the most advanced metadata
management in the market and sets a foundation for big data and
analytics.
‐ Hitachi Cloud Services Connection (HCSC): Public cloud offering built on HDS cloud infrastructure and solutions and managed by HDS for partners to resell.
“Though
consumer file sync and share options have been available for some time,
options for the enterprise are still emerging,” said Terri McClure,
senior analyst, ESG. “With this new cloud package, HDS is leveraging its
enterprise solution provider strengths at the core and has done a nice
job providing a consumer-like experience at the edge. Its new HCP
Anywhere application and platform should be particularly appealing to
security-conscious end users who need to lock down access to business
data and leverage additional cloud capabilities and support to satisfy
end user requirements for data access across multiple devices. HDS
already has a reputation of trust with this customer base and the
economics for its file sync and share are very compelling. With all the
back-end integration, self-service and controls HDS offers today and
plans to add, HDS appears to be bringing a serious enterprise sync and
share solution to market.”
“Our
unique approach to cloud allows our customers to choose the best
possible solutions to address their needs, at their own pace, and in a
way that makes sense for their business,” said John Mansfield, executive
vice president, Global Solutions Strategy and Development, Hitachi Data
Systems. “Our cloud portfolio does more than just solve the challenges
customers face today – it sets them up for what is coming next. Trends
like big data, bring your own device, next-generation file services,
secure clouds, distributed IT, and metadata-driven automation,
management and analytics are quickly becoming pervasive. The products
and services we are announcing today allow enterprise organizations to
use cloud and file sharing in ways that were never before possible. It
is with these new offerings that customers can further innovate with
information as the IT industry continues to evolve.”
HDS
delivers secure, flexible, scalable and easy-to-manage private, hybrid
and public cloud infrastructures that enable businesses to lower total
cost of ownership, meet service level agreements, and improve
operational efficiency. At
the heart of HDS cloud solutions are a set of proven, cloud-enabled
platforms that support the unified, virtualized and distributed
environments common in organizations today. Together, HDS cloud
solutions based on HCP enable organizations to experience some of these
benefits:
‐ Reduce TCO by 60%.
‐ Reduce space needed for backups by 30%.
‐ Create a 2 year deferral on new storage purchases.
‐ Enable 5 times more terabytes managed per administrator.
