HDS Chosen by oXya

Hitachi Data Systems Corporation has delivered Hitachi Unified Compute
Platform (UCP) Pro for VMware vSphere converged infrastructure for oXya Corporation, in
SAP technical services and hosting solutions.

oXya helps both midsize and global organizations increase the efficiency and
flexibility of their SAP infrastructure and support operations. They provide
technical services and hosting solutions for over 190,000 SAP users worldwide, across
industries including manufacturing, retail, chemicals, administration, energy,
transportation, and high-tech.

oXya was looking at various vendors and solutions to support their suite of SAP
focused offerings (managed cloud services, hosting services, consulting services and outsourcing services) and wanted to work with a single vendor that
could provide the entire stack. The team at oXya determined that UCP Pro
provided them with advantages, such as fast time to value
through pre-configured systems, unified management and provisioning of
virtual environments to onboard new SAP customers. Their first deployment was a
success, and new customers can benefit from the robust architecture with their
own dedicated UCP Pro.

HDS will spotlight its virtualization and cloud technologies in VMware
environments and feature demonstrations and sessions at VMworld 2013,
August 25-29, at Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.

"With broad integrations with VMware
and a single converged platform, customers continue to select Hitachi Data
Systems in VMware environments," said Asim Zaheer, SVP, WW marketing, HDS.
 "HDS is continuing its focus on delivering maximum possible IT
efficiency and flexibility for businesses and service providers as they
transform their operations and deliver IT as a Service."

"Hitachi UCP Pro provides great
value to us in terms of operational efficiency, cost effectiveness and meeting
customer SLAs," said Mel Du Boullay, CTO of US operations, oXya.
"We are better equipped to support
customers with just-in-time requirements and anticipate needing less man hours
to do more, much better."

Since 2002, HDS and VMware have delivered virtualization for storage consolidation, backup and archiving, BC and storage
management. As an Elite partner in the VMware
Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program and a VMware Ready program
partner, HDS bridges the gap between server and storage infrastructures in
customers’ data centers. HDS also helps customers optimize the operational
efficiency and resiliency of their IT environments to save costs.
