Singapore (August 28, 2017) — Hitachi Data
Systems (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501) and VMware
Global Innovation OEM Partner of the Year, today announced Hitachi Unified Compute Platform
(UCP) RSseries, a fully integrated, software-defined data center
(SDDC) rack-scale platform, powered by VMware Cloud Foundation™.
Hitachi UCP RS enables customers to embrace hybrid cloud for faster
time to market and pay-as-you-go economics. It also gives customers the freedom
to optimize their IT investments by leveraging private and public cloud as an
agile extension to their business. UCP RS provides flexibility to
customers to either deploy integrated SDDC stack or build their own using
Hitachi’s vSAN ready node and VMware software.

Alongside the launch of Hitachi UCP RS, the company
has enhanced its hyperconverged system Unified Compute Platform (UCP) HC. Hitachi UCP
HC all-flash and hybrid systems are now enabled with non-volatile memory (NVMe)
and new sixth-generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors to deliver faster
performance and reduced operating costs, maximizing business value for
customers. This enhancement allows for higher performance, lower latency and
accelerated workloads through the use of modern data center technology.

Integrated Systems, VMware said, “Hitachi’s strong track record of innovation
led them to be recognized as VMware Global Innovation OEM Partner of the Year
at VMware Partner Leadership Summit 2017. This new Hitachi UCP RS solution
powered by VMware Cloud Foundation is no exception. The solution improves
productivity, delivers faster time to business value and accelerates the
customer’s ability to realize the true power of their data.”

“Open questions exist regarding the extent to which
advances in SDI technology can support a common virtual data center foundation
upon which improved end-to-end IT service interoperability, resilience,
elasticity and agility across a hybrid cloud infrastructure can be effectively
realized,” according to Market Trends: Software-Defined Infrastructure — Who
Can Benefit? (Gartner, June 2017). In addition, the report states that,
“Given the current state of public cloud service deployment and the maturity
state of SDI, one of two options is possible: The first is an application-independent,
common virtual data center infrastructure that can run atop an existing private
data center infrastructure, a public cloud service or a combination of the two.
This variation is called infrastructure-upward.”

Understanding the new demands placed on IT by data
center modernization initiatives, Hitachi has collaborated with VMware to
develop the fully integrated, turnkey Hitachi UCP RS system to deliver reliable
IT infrastructure for hybrid cloud deployments. Hitachi UCP RS also helps to minimize
the complexity and guesswork of deploying and managing IT by uniquely
automating provisioning, managing and monitoring for SDDCs, giving customers
a competitive advantage, and delivering faster time to market and high
availability of business applications.
