Storage, Data Mobility and Next-Generation Data Management
Modernize Your Data Center With Hitachi Object Storage Solutions
As unstructured data continues to grow faster than IT budgets, organizations are eager to bridge
traditional and emerging technologies. They are looking for ways to support growth and agility while
reducing complexity and easing the pressure on IT budgets. In addition, the rise of hybrid cloud, bring-
your-own-device (BYOD) policies, and file synchronization and sharing pose new challenges for IT.
Hitachi Vantara provides intelligent, object-based storage solutions and applications that support diverse
use cases like file synchronization and sharing, cloud storage, big data, compliance and archiving,
from a single cluster, simultaneously. These solutions enable more efficient operations, help secure and
protect data assets, and help IT stay agile as organizations and business needs evolve. They allow the
The Hitachi Content Platform ecosystem delivers cost-effective private, public and hybrid cloud services, harnesses data growth and bridges traditional and emerging technologies to make your data securely available anywhere, anytime.
Unstructured Data Challenges: Management, Governance, Security and Content Search Object storage brings structure to unstructured file data, making it easier to store, protect, secure, manage, organize, sync and share, search and analyze file data. The scale and features of these solutions help leverage a single storage investment for a variety of workloads. Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) provides a single platform that brings cloud management in-house and provides intelligent automation that frees up IT staff from day-to-day, hands-on administration.
Avoid Limitations of Traditional File Systems, Bring Structure to Unstructured File Data
Hitachi object storage solutions bring structure to unstructured data by intelligently storing content in far larger quantities and in a much more efficient and economical manner. The solutions treat file data, file metadata and custom metadata as a single object that is tracked and stored among a variety of storage tiers. With secure multitenancy and configurable attributes for each logical partition, the object store can be divided into several smaller virtual object stores that present configurable attributes to support different service levels. In this way, the object store supports workloads, ranging from content preservation, data protection, content tiering and distribution to even hybrid cloud, from a single physical infrastructure. See Hitachi solution.
Content Cloud Hitachi Content Platform object storage serves as the core of the content cloud. Layers of additional applications and media technologies around HCP extend the reach of the object store to open source environments, the cloud and beyond.
Automate data center operations and develop business insights by leveraging search and analytics.
Evolve to Next-Generation Data Management
■■ Enables intelligent metadata and the tools to search and analyze digital content.
■■ Provides native support for open source, legacy, current and emerging storage protocols.
Cloud EnabledFrom the object storage platform, organizations can build the core of a private, public or multicloud that delivers secure data mobility throughout, plus file synchronization and sharing. HCP also provides an on-premises storage solution for cloud-based applications.
Reduce storage and data protection costs at remote offices and easily distribute content.
Collaboration, Protection and Anywhere AccessThe solution combines HCP object storage and Hitachi Content Platform Anywhere (HCP Anywhere). A digital workplace solution, HCP Anywhere is designed and built for enterprise IT.
Access and protect data from user devices and edge locations such as branch offices.
Intelligent ObjectsTo achieve extreme scales in the billions of objects, intelligent object stores, such as Hitachi Content Platform, push down some of the intelligence to the objects, themselves. This action creates “intelligent objects,” capable of responding to changes in the environment.
Use intelligent metadata to simplify identifi-cation and classification of information to optimize automation of data management.
Content PreservationEnsure that digital content is preserved for the long term and protected for the future. Many times, these assets can provide competitive advantages and be the source of valuable insights.
Enable, “write once, read many” (WORM) data integrity, encryption and data retention and disposition services.
Intelligent, Object-Based Storage Infrastructure Metadata, or information about a file, is used to automate management of file data. Custom metadata support provides multiple fields for metadata so that different end users and applications can use their own metadata and tags without disturbing others’ metadata.
Control data size, ensure objects are well protected and support regulatory compliance.
■■ Secures and protects your data to meet governance and regulatory challenges.
■■ Ensures IT can address the challenges faced today, while preparing IT for what’s next.
Address Future Change and Growth With Hitachi Object Storage SolutionsHitachi Vantara provides object storage solutions that address the challenges of fast-growing file data, diverse data types and access methods, and storing content for years, decades or centuries. By integrating key technologies in a single storage platform, Hitachi object storage solutions provide a path to short-term return on investment and long-term efficiency improvements.

Hitachi Vantara at a Glance Your data is the key to new revenue, better customer experiences and lower costs. With technology and expertise, Hitachi Vantara drives data to meaningful outcomes.
Unstructured data from traditional and modern web and IoT applications has surpassed structured data in total volume and given rise to a new set of challenges for IT. Continually deploying more capacity means suffering the effects of sprawl. Handing over control, security and protection of corporate data assets to a consumer cloud is unacceptable. The time has come for a change in how content is stored and managed.
