Hitachi Vantara recently introduced multiple new hybrid cloud products and services that deliver agility, scalability, and flexibility for private and hybrid cloud operating models with the reliability and trust that Hitachi Vantara customers experience today.
The new hybrid cloud products and services are engineered for data-driven organisations who want to automate and simplify their infrastructure and operations to capture the total value of the cloud operating model across on-prem, near-cloud, and public clouds.
Hitachi’s Virtual Storage Software Block (VSS Block) is a new software-defined data platform that provides cloud agility and scalable storage support for traditional and cloud-native applications running on commodity x86 servers. Running on Hitachi’s universal Storage Virtualization Operating System (SVOS), VSS Block provides customers with a single data plane across our mid-range, enterprise, and software-defined storage portfolio. VSS Block will seamlessly connect to our near-cloud offerings and ultimately extend into the public cloud.
Leveraging Hitachi’s patented Polyphase Erasure Coding, VSS Block provides improved data read performance and increased efficiency over traditional erasure coding schemes. VSS Block supports both mirroring and erasure coding for maximum performance and efficiency and is flexible and easily compatible with traditional storage environments with both iSCSI and Fibre Channel host connections.
Hitachi Cloud Connect enables customers to realise the best of both worlds with enterprise-class storage speed and reliability paired with public cloud compute provisioning and scaling.
Leveraging the benefits of near-cloud hosted environments with highly connected datacenters for hybrid cloud use cases, including computing scaling, data protection, and disaster recovery, Hitachi Cloud Connect enables the extension of data fabric to near-cloud with the ability to support cloud resident applications in Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure Cloud.
Hitachi Cloud Connect delivers enterprise performance and data services for cloud-based applications with the reliability Hitachi Vantara is known for, establishing the client’s data ownership with seamless data services between on-premises data centres and cloud storage.
