Seamless Integration

Gain advantage from our ecosystem synergies. Hitachi’s deep integrations with partner platforms allow our combined solutions to be used as needed — including Red Hat, VMware, AWS, Cisco, Microsoft, and  Google Distributed Cloud.

Unified Management

Leverage Hitachi UCP Advisor and HyperOps to manage and orchestrate all your resources between on-prem, near cloud, and public cloud resources from a single window. Enjoy integrated AIOps, including built-in analytics and automation.

Leverage cloud mobility for ultimate flexibility.

Across myriad use cases, Hitachi’s bidirectional cloud mobility powers efficiency and simplicity.

Bridge skills gaps

For organizations facing difficulties managing specific apps and infrastructure on-prem, migrate to or deploy new apps in the cloud.

Burst to the cloud on demand

If you need additional capacity or compute to cover peak demand situations, add cloud resources.

Backup & DR in the cloud

Backup to the cloud and restore on-prem or to another cloud location. Deploy disaster recovery capability in the cloud to drive lower RTO.

Run test/dev in the cloud

Use the flexibility of cloud resources to develop new apps and services. Then move apps to production on-prem for highest security and lowest cost.

Repatriate from the cloud

Rebalance workloads by moving them back on-prem to optimize for cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Applications are evolving from monolithic to microservices for faster delivery, competitiveness, and innovation. Hybrid cloud platforms empower your in-house team to create and combine these microservices, like LEGO blocks, for agile product development that can keep up with — and innovate past — the competition. 

Public cloud gives you the tools you need to effortlessly scale by creating new microservices on-site or off-site during peak demand. You also get the flexibility to integrate public cloud services into your applications. For instance, you can use a public cloud's transcription service to convert voice recordings into text, saving you from building that capability in-house.

A hybrid cloud approach is gaining popularity among companies, allowing them to accelerate the development of applications and seize a competitive edge.

For many companies, the last five years have been all about testing containerized applications and running proofs of concept. But now, hybrid cloud solutions are starting to become more mainstream and are being adopted in enterprise data centers around the world. In fact, industry analysts have predicted that within the next year, a growing number of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production.

However, there remains concern about operational complexity in areas such as security, monitoring, data management, and networking. This issue must be addressed before public cloud services can be used with next-gen applications created by internal development teams.
