More and more enterprises are adopting hybrid cloud environments in order to embrace the shifting digital landscape to meet their evolving IT needs. One result is acceleration toward pay-per-use models, which, in a variety of use cases, can offer greater agility, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and streamlined operations management.

Demand is growing fast, with analyst predictions for the global infrastructure as a service (IaaS) market to top $738B by 2032, up from $157B in 2024. Hitachi Vantara enables our partners to support this growing demand for scalable, cost-effective IT solutions via Hitachi EverFlex with Partners, which provides a collaborative approach to optimizing IT operations and decision-making for customers and provides flexibility for partners to engage with Hitachi based on their individual business needs.

Expand Your Business with Hitachi EverFlex

For Hitachi Vantara partners, whether your business focus is infrastructure resales, systems integration or managed services, EverFlex offers a unique opportunity to expand your business and capture new revenue streams. Ease of deployment, fast time-to-revenue, and centralized management are some of its most significant advantages.

Hitachi EverFlex also reduces your risk and can increase your profitability, empowering you with a pay-per-use hybrid cloud infrastructure that is not only easy to implement but scalable, too. Giving you the ability to quickly respond to your customers’ needs and capitalize on emerging market opportunities.

The consumption-based model of Hitachi EverFlex also accelerates time to revenue, allowing you to generate profits more quickly. In many cases, a partner may actually earn more total revenue for an equal size system by embedding EverFlex versus a traditional CapEx deal. EverFlex provides you with the flexibility to maintain control over account relationships and end-user pricing so that you can bolster your connection with your customers, integrate your own value-added services and expand your own portfolio without significant investments in technical staff.

Customize Based on Your Company’s Needs

The flexibility of Hitachi EverFlex’s delivery models is a key benefit for you, as well as your customers. Whether you choose to white label a solution under your own brand, package it as part of your managed service offerings, rely on Hitachi Vantara to manage it for you or adopt a hybrid approach – you can tailor EverFlex to meet your specific business goals. This flexible approach to engaging with your customers allows you to create a unique differentiation in your marketplace, enhance your competitive position and mitigate operational and financial risks.

Hitachi EverFlex with partners gives you a powerful opportunity to build a recurring revenue stream while keeping your unique market identity through your own branding. The modular nature of the Hitachi EverFlex portfolio also means you can choose the components that best align with your customers’ needs, whether it’s security, governance, performance or a combination of all three. This versatility means you can meet the diverse and evolving needs of your clients while further strengthening your position in the market.

Increase Relevance with Subscribers

In today’s highly competitive marketplace, relevance is key to supporting strong customer relationships and ensuring long-term business success. By offering EverFlex, you can give your customers the best of both worlds: the security and performance of on-premises infrastructure combined with the user experience of a public cloud.

EverFlex lets you engage with your customers at a deeper level, supported by the global expertise and depth of Hitachi Vantara, while focusing on service level objectives and business outcomes rather than just technology specifications.
