First is Hitachi CloudCompute as a Service, a new managed private cloud solution that delivers the economics and agility of a public cloud solution. Second are enhancements to Unified Compute Platform (UCP) that streamline and accelerate the process of building and managing cloud. And third is a new Cloud Service Provider Program that delivers more trusted cloud choices.

Our upgraded Hitachi Unified Compute Platform, a converged solution, gives users the business agility and reliability they need to successfully transform their business with cloud,” said Ravi Chalaka, VP solutions marketing, HDS. “Hitachi cloud – Compute as a Service is a complete managed cloud solution that accelerates time to market, eliminates complexity, and aligns cost to QoS and business usage. At the same time, it maintains the security of an on-premise solution. And our cloud Service Provider Program provides more trusted choice in cloud services.

Hitachi Cloud – Compute as a Service
Hitachi Cloud – Compute as a Service was developed expressly for organizations that need the agility and economic advantages of public clouds. These organizations can’t compromise the service levels and security of a private cloud model. The fully managed, secure, on-premise cloud solution allows IT to shift from a configuration that is based on technology with up-front capex costs to an offering that is based on outcomes and elastic pay-as-you-go pricing. This model aligns costs to predictable outcomes and relies on Hitachi UCP for compute, network, storage and hypervisor functions within a customer premise to create a fully manageable and secure compute platform behind the firewall. Hitachi Cloud – Compute as a Service – addresses individual service-level requirements by including flexibility to align costs with the dynamic requirements of the business. The on-premise Hitachi Cloud – Compute as a Service is a managed solution that can be customized to include off-premise capabilities through our partnership with Equinix.

Hitachi Unified Compute Platform
The enhanced Hitachi UCP converged solution now provides advantages that accelerate deployment, streamline management and operation. It also includes options to access VMware vCloud Air and Microsoft Azure for any organization that prefers to build and manage private and hybrid cloud.

UCP Director infrastructure automation software enhances IT’s ability to build and deploy private and hybrid clouds, enabling control and management of physical and virtual infrastructures through a single plane of glass for Microsoft or VMware environments. UCP is now natively integrated with both Microsoft System Center and VMware vCenter, so complete management and operation can be performed through existing, familiar management frameworks that customers use today.

By combining  UCP with Hitachi Cloud – Compute as a Service, HDS extends the reach of Business-Defined IT through solutions that offer the flexibility and elasticity of cloud storage options while also maintaining the enterprise-grade security that is common in private data center solutions. Hitachi Cloud – Compute as a Service offers a customizable storage solution. It allows customers and partners to use a combination of service and infrastructure technologies that suit their company’s needs through trusted systems integrators.

Hitachi cloud Service Provider Program
With Hitachi Cloud Service Provider program, HDS is creating a network of CSPs that offer cloud services that are ‘Powered by Hitachi Data Systems’. The Cloud Service Provider Program delivers the best enterprise-grade cloud technology to partners, coupled with joint business planning, cloud service design and a go-to-market approach that helps partners deliver the highest quality services to their customers. The program establishes a ‘shared risk, shared reward’  model to ensure predictable economics and business success for partners. Hitachi will help CSPs design and package differentiated and profitable cloud services, and will also co-market and co-sell partners’ cloud services that are ‘Powered by Hitachi Data Systems’.
