Business Wire
Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE: HIT) (TSE: 6501), today announced that the
company’s object store, Hitachi Content Platform (HCP), has been
honored with a Visionary Product Award at the 2012 Storage Visions
Conference, a leading event focusing on digital storage and the
entertainment content value chain, held January 8-9 in Las Vegas,
Nevada. Hitachi Data Systems was recognized in the Enabling
Professional Storage Technology category for the benefits HCP
brings to organizations, including simplified IT, reduced costs and
reduced risks.
HCP is an intelligent object storage solution that simplifies
and centralizes the management and distribution of unstructured and
semi-structured data from multiple sources or locations, while
maintaining global access to the data itself. It does this by
storing data and metadata as a single item, which enables a
content- and context-aware platform. HCP is optimized for
scalability, reliability, efficiency and ease of use. A single HCP
offers up to 40 petabytes of usable capacity that can be securely
divided to support hundreds of applications, workloads or
organizations, and cater to their widely varying requirements. The
massive scale, object approach and multitenancy of HCP make it an
ideal platform for cloud environments and centralizing IT. HCP also
features advanced data, metadata and storage management
capabilities including robust data protection and preservation
technologies to eliminate the need for tape backups. All of these
features can be monitored and managed through a single console that
also provides tools to enable chargeback for cloud deployments.
Together with Hitachi Data Ingestor (HDI), a bottomless,
backup-free cloud on-ramp and remote office and branch office
(ROBO) solution, HCP helps simplify content collection and
distribution. It accelerates cloud adoption by allowing customers
to move to a cloud environment at their own pace.
“As the amount of unstructured data continues to grow, HDS is
dedicated to providing solutions that will help customers store,
access and view that data more efficiently,” said Miki Sandorfi,
chief strategist, File, Content and Cloud, Hitachi Data Systems.
“Hitachi Content Platform enables organizations to achieve the
benefits of IT consolidation, cloud, archiving, backup reduction
and more without compromising security or completely rewriting
critical applications.”
The Enabling Professional Storage Technology award highlights
Hitachi Data Systems expertise and focus on providing a portfolio
of integrated solutions that addresses customer challenges
effectively and cost-efficiently. One of the biggest challenges in
IT today is unstructured data growth, application proliferation and
increasing variation in data types. This leads to increased server
and storage sprawl with numerous infrastructure silos supporting
different workloads. To address these challenges, HCP unlocks the
value of data by supporting a wide range of applications on a
single physical cluster and by using metadata to automate tasks,
and simplify management and search across previously siloed
datasets.
This is the ninth year the Storage Visions Conference has
recognized companies who advance storage technologies used in
consumer electronics and the media and entertainment industries, as
well as provide visionary products for the digital content value
chain. Award winners were chosen by a panel of industry experts and
journalists.
