Data storage is the foundation on which Hitachi Vantara is built

Yati Mago, Sr. Solution Consultant- Hitachi Vantara

“Data storage is the foundation of Hitachi Vantara. Our DNA talks about data storage. We have over 35 years of experience into the various aspects of the business from a data perspective. Our customers who have been there with us throughout rely on us, and trust us to be their trusted partner for their critical business workload. This trust is so eminent that they have taken us to be a part of their journey on their most important critical workload. These customers are across verticals like banking, finance, telco, manufacturing and so on. With the trust of the customers and the partners and together with our vision, we actually have transformed our strategy of what we as a brand stand for. Our strategy is actually based on four key pillars - trusted data infrastructure, intelligent simplicity, hybrid cloud agility, and data integrity.

The trusted data infrastructure is based on our enterprise based functionality, which gives the end customer the freedom and the flexibility to use the storage with no worry of any loss of data. Intelligent simplicity is based on our AI engine, which has been built into the family, and that we have to make it simpler and more intelligent in terms of operations and management aspects.  From the hybrid cloud agility, what value Hitachi Vantara brings on the platter is that whether you are on the cloud, or on an SDS or an appliance, we will give you the same experience to the application to the end customer to work on so that the management and the interface issued for admins would be removed. So we all have seen how the data has grown tremendously from the past few years. In the next three years, the data that we are going to generate will be equal to the data that we would have generated in the last 30 years in one go. 79 zettabytes of data have been generated in the last one year. And it is not just the data but the intelligence that we have generated from these data has also grown up. The security of the data, the compliance, and the regulation are also playing a key role along with the data. Aspects like where to store the data, how to store the data, how to ensure the data availability, how to ensure the backups, are some of the things that we need to look into. If you add to the story of edge and the cloud today, the integrity of the data has been blown up. In order to make data more valuable for the end customer, we should ensure the integrity of the data and guarantee the accurate and correct data to them. Our strength is such that 90% of the banks globally, 80% of the health providers, 10 out of the 10 top insurers, manufacturers and the telcos trust Hitachi Vantara  for their production and data workflows. Even in India, 90% of the banks are with Hitachi Vantara for their most difficult workloads.”
