New co-engineered solutions accelerate
innovation, enhance operational flexibility, and promote
sustainability across multiple environments
LAS
VEGAS, Aug. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- VMware Explore 2024 Hitachi Vantara, the data
storage, infrastructure, and hybrid cloud management subsidiary of
Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501) and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO), today
announced a powerful new private and hybrid cloud solution. The
co-engineered solution brings together Hitachi Vantara's integrated
systems solution of Unified Compute Platform (UCP) RS with
VMware Cloud Foundation to assist organizations in navigating the
complexities brought on by substantial data proliferation and the
escalating requirements of AI. Combining industry-leading

The announcement comes as more organizations grapple with the
costs and complexities of rapidly expanding hybrid and multi-cloud
environments. According to the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Enterprise
Infrastructure Tracker: Buyer and Cloud Deployment, spending on
compute and storage infrastructure products for cloud deployments,
including dedicated and shared IT environments, increased 36.9%
year over year in the first quarter of 2024. And as the exponential
growth of data and the surge of generative AI (GenAI) continue to
transform the technological landscape, organizations are looking
for ways to scale their data infrastructure environments and
modernize applications without compromising their carbon footprint
or IT budgets. In fact, a recent survey found 63% of
organizations have significant room to improve their enterprise
infrastructure and data ecosystem preparedness to support GenAI
initiatives.
To address these critical issues, Hitachi Vantara and Broadcom
have expanded the companies' partnership to introduce a robust
solution that modernizes cloud infrastructure and bolsters data
management. The Hitachi UCP RS powered by VMware Cloud Foundation
is a forward-thinking platform for both private and hybrid clouds.
It aims to spur innovation, simplify operational complexity, and
support sustainability objectives by integrating a complete private
cloud platform with proven enterprise infrastructure. This
modernization initiative also helps lower total cost of ownership
through advanced automation capabilities and adaptable consumption
models.
"As more businesses face the realities of the AI age, they are
actively seeking solutions that help them scale and improve data
reliability without sacrificing on cost or environmental
commitments," said Octavian
Tanase, chief product officer, Hitachi Vantara. "At
Hitachi Vantara, we are committed to driving innovation and
sustainability in the data infrastructure space. 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."
"The longstanding partnership between Hitachi Vantara and
Broadcom now delivers a comprehensive and future-ready private and
hybrid cloud solution," said Paul
Turner, vice president, products, VMware Cloud Foundation
Division, Broadcom. "This not only addresses the current
challenges of data management and infrastructure modernization, but
also aligns with organizations' sustainability goals, making it an
essential tool for businesses looking to thrive in the era of
generative AI and beyond."
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% and
data center storage footprint by up to 35%.
The new Hitachi Vantara and Broadcom private and hybrid cloud
co-engineered solution sets itself apart with its high-performance,
efficient, and scalable capabilities. Among the first
Broadcom-approved OEM solutions with the new VMware Cloud
Foundation, the solution features integrated software,
infrastructure, and hardware firmware life cycle automation through
UCP Advisor and SDDC Manager, providing seamless operation. The
platform offers flexibility for deploying business and
mission-critical workloads with highly available blended
server-based virtualized storage (VMware vSAN) and external
storage. Unified management of private cloud infrastructure is made
simple with UCP Advisor and SDDC Manager, while automated storage
management for VMs and containers ensures multiple SLAs and cost
efficiency. By offering a single source for systems, solutions, and
services, the platform streamlines operations and reduces
multi-vendor friction, all while guaranteeing 100% data
availability with Hitachi's Virtual Storage Platform One and
supported by Hitachi's Global Support and Services Team.
