Hitachi Vantara, a subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., that specializes in data storage, infrastructure, and hybrid cloud management, along with Broadcom Inc., unveiled a powerful new private and hybrid cloud solution.

The co-engineered solution combines VMware Cloud Foundation with Hitachi Vantara's Unified Compute Platform (UCP) RS integrated systems solution to help enterprises manage the complexity resulting from significant data proliferation and the growing demands of artificial intelligence.

By integrating industry-leading automation and software-defined services with enterprise-tested infrastructure, businesses can modernize their infrastructure for increased scalability and performance at the same time as lowering total cost of ownership, energy use, and carbon footprint—all of which help to protect the environment and improve data infrastructure efficiency.

The announcement coincides with an increasing number of enterprises trying to manage the expenses and intricacies of quickly growing multi-cloud and hybrid systems.

For private and hybrid clouds, the Hitachi UCP RS powered by VMware Cloud Foundation is a cutting-edge platform. By combining a full private cloud platform with tried-and-true enterprise infrastructure, it seeks to promote innovation, reduce operational complexity, and support sustainability goals.

Key benefits of the integration of the Hitachi UCP RS with VMware Cloud Foundation, powered by Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One arrays include:

Faster time to value: Offers enhanced performance and resilience, allowing for efficient management of more workloads with streamlined infrastructure.

Flexible Deployment: Supports running traditional VMs and modern cloud-native containers, as well as emerging private AI workloads.

Simplified Management: Provides turnkey integrated infrastructure and advanced automation for cloud operations and life cycle management and pay-per-use consumption model.

Sustainability: Features modern designs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs, including Virtual Storage Platform One arrays reducing CO2 emissions by up to 96 percent and data center storage footprint by up to 35 percent.

"Our enduring collaboration with Broadcom exemplifies our dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions that not only meet the evolving needs of our customers but also contribute to a greener planet”, said Octavian Tanase, chief product officer, Hitachi Vantara.
