Hitachi Vantara sets new standards for performance, efficiency and innovation in data management and computing.
Hitachi Vantara has developed highly-performant AMD EPYC CPU-powered Hitachi Vantara hybrid cloud solutions combining converged and hyperconverged solutions – including Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP), with 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors.
This represents a significant advancement in the realm of hybrid cloud and database solutions designed to provide businesses with an “all in” feature set to enhance data centre performance and efficiency.
Enterprises continue to struggle with growing challenges of optimising their IT infrastructure, including reducing costs in an increasingly competitive landscape. The complexity in managing and operating traditional data centres exacerbates these challenges, often leading to inefficiencies and increased operational costs.
To compound matters, there’s a growing need to reduce operational overheads, specifically with power, cooling, and space requirements, to streamline operations and enhance sustainability efforts.
A recent report found data centres across the world produce up to 3.7% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and use huge amounts of water for cooling. The report also showed data centres emitted the equivalent of 300 metric tons of C02 in 2020.
To address such massive resource demands, businesses must seek partnerships offering high-performance, energy-efficient hybrid cloud and database solutions that align with goals of cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and sustainability.
Offering breakthrough performance and sustainable computing, the new Hitachi Vantara converged and hyperconverged solutions deliver the much needed high-performance, scale, and cost-reduction for hybrid cloud, database and high-performance environments.
“With increasing demand from businesses and customers to maximise the performance of business applications, organisations need innovative solutions to stay ahead. This announcement represents a convergence of expertise and innovation aimed at empowering businesses with transformative solutions,” said Octavian Tanase, Chief Product Officer, Hitachi Vantara.
“By leveraging the exceptional performance of AMD 4th Gen EPYC processors, we are delivering high-density and throughput solutions with 100% data availability guarantee that redefine industry standards. The solutions offer a suite of key differentiators in the realm of hybrid cloud, databases, and high-performance computing, providing high-performance, efficient, and scalable solutions tailored to modern enterprise needs.”
Key benefits of the solutions include:
- Faster Time to Value – accelerated innovation by vastly improving processing times for traditional and modern workloads, including general-purpose workloads, databases, high-performance computing and CAE (Computer-aided Engineering).
- High Performance – Pre-validated and certified Hitachi UCP solutions deliver breakthrough performance with fewer cores for cloud, enterprise, and edge computing workloads.
- Sustainability – The newly introduced solutions feature modern designs and smaller footprints, contributing to reduced carbon dioxide emissions and increased energy efficiency. One financial service provider has reported that Hitachi Vantara’s storage can reduce C02 emissions up to 96% and data centre storage footprint as much as 35%.
- Reduced Computing Cost – Converged and hyperconverged solutions offer high-density and bandwidth infrastructure, enabling the consolidation of multiple enterprise workloads and reducing total cost of ownership.
The UCP portfolio also includes the Hitachi UCP for Azure Stack HCI, which helps deliver a consistent hybrid cloud infrastructure across edge, core and public clouds.
