Enterprises are racing to the cloud, but amid rising costs and the complexity of managing private, on-prem and public clouds, 77% of recent survey respondents1 said their organization needs to improve cloud management. HARC helps clients migrate, modernize and manage their workloads across the globe and across any cloud platform including AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. The strategy underpinning HARC is to bring together engineering expertise, repeatable frameworks for DevOps and site-reliability engineering (SRE) and intellectual property around automation and AIOps.
"A key promise of the cloud is the agility to seamlessly deploy new software, experiences and revenue streams. With HARC, we’re helping our clients move to the cloud strategically by designing for reliability and optimizing for costs. By looking at cloud through the lenses of product engineering, reliability, automation, DevOps, FinOps, and security, we’re able to pull the right lever for each organization to not only move to, but thrive on the cloud," Premkumar Balasubramanian, Senior Vice President and CTO of Digital Solutions Business at Hitachi Vantara.
HARC services go beyond managing an application to help create an integrated software engineering organization that optimizes the design and running of applications across the lifecycle. By collapsing traditional silos between engineering and operations, applications and workloads are engineered at the development phase to run on the cloud. A continuous feedback loop between product engineering, DevOps and ITOps ensures workloads are optimized for the cloud. The result is HARC reduces total cost of operations by 35% and removes unnecessary risks and complexity, while delivering always-on cloud workloads.
