Two new global cooperation agreements with Cisco have been announced by Hitachi Vantara, a division of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501) that specialises in contemporary infrastructure, data management, and digital solutions. As a result of the agreements, Hitachi Vantara is now a member of Cisco's Service Provider and Solution Technology Integrator (STI) partner programmes, allowing it to seamlessly integrate Cisco technologies with its storage products and establish itself as a top provider of managed services for hybrid clouds and data centres.

 

As their hybrid cloud footprints grow, many companies are struggling to manage the difficulties of data management and intelligence. By 2024, 40% of businesses will rely on multi-partner technology agreements to deal with these issues, predicts IDC. In order to provide a complete converged infrastructure (CI) solution, Hitachi Vantara has expanded its server lineup to include the Cisco UCS X-Series servers concurrently with the STI agreement. 

 

The server line joins the "Cisco and Hitachi Adaptive Solutions" portfolio, which combines Hitachi Vantara's Energy Star-certified Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) with Cisco compute, networking, and networking to provide customers with one of the most dependable, resilient, and environmentally friendly IT infrastructure solutions available. Customers of Hitachi Vantara can now use the solution, which contributes to meeting the expanding need for unified data centre infrastructure.

 

Hitachi Vantara provides consumption-based managed services to Cisco clients searching for data centre and hybrid cloud services as a participant in Cisco's Service Provider programme. The services can aid in addressing the dire need for qualified people in the IT sector, allowing businesses to embrace cutting-edge technology more successfully and relying on Hitachi Vantara to streamline their hybrid cloud operations.
