The new Hitachi Content Platform v7.2 guarantees explicit control of data, allowing enterprises to better manage how data is accessed and shared. Together with Hitachi Content Platform S30, customers can manage data security and data sovereignty and compliance risks associated with cloud storage cost effectively. The solution delivers dense, highly scalable storage that extends the existing HDS hybrid architecture with an erasure-coded, low cost tier. HCP v7.2 includes support for the new HCP S30 and HCP G10 storage and server nodes and support for solid state drives. It also enables HCP write-through to S series storage, allowing customers with applicable use cases to reduce TCO by leveraging the S series instead of direct-attach storage arrays.
Organisations can extend this private cloud storage solution to remote and branch offices and access NAS storage systems using HD. Thus, customers can modernise their Microsoft® Windows® and NFS file server environments, simplify data management, and ensure greater control of data sharing. The latest version supports new server technology including Hyper-V®, SMB 3.0, file system full prevention, VSS restore of previous file versions for SMB, and embedded anti-virus functionality.
“Data is at the core of our business and its safekeeping and proper management is pivotal to the success and prosperity of our organisation. We leverage the HCP portfolio as the heart of our cloud storage because of its rich capabilities in intelligent data management and security. This allows us the maintain control and visibility of our data at all times.” - Carsten Danner, Team Leader, Global Infrastructure, Global IT, DSV A/S
“Due to the recent Safe Harbor court rulings and ongoing concern about data sovereignty, PRISM and cloud security in general, IT professionals are being forced to look at how and where their data is stored. As we've seen in our research, there is significant demand for private and hybrid cloud storage in order to address these concerns as organizations scramble to protect their most valuable information assets. Hitachi Data Systems solves this problem by bringing trusted and secure private and hybrid cloud storage to the customer.” – Terri McClure, ESG
“We are committed to expanding the depth and breadth of our data mobility solution portfolio by embracing and extending support for commodity hardware, open source technologies and public cloud. The HCP portfolio remains the industry’s only single vendor solution that is tightly integrated for data mobility and enables customers to maintain visibility and control of their data no matter where their content resides.” - Peter Sjoberg, CTO, Cloud and Mobility, Hitachi Data Systems.
The newest versions of Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) and Hitachi Data Ingestor (HDI) complement recent updates to HCP Anywhere, which allows organisations to provide secure file sync and share tools to their users.
About the Hitachi Content Platform Portfolio
The Hitachi Content Platform portfolio is the only integrated solution that brings together object storage, file sync and share and file gateways to create truly secure, simple and smart cloud storage solution. The uniquely integrated portfolio is easy to set up, manage, maintain and adapt as business needs change and technologies evolve. With the HCP portfolio, IT organizations and cloud service providers can easily store, share, synchronize, protect, preserve, analyse and retrieve file data from a single system. By avoiding the need for separate systems for each workload, HCP can apply compression and deduplication across a consolidated environment, making it much more efficient and cost effective. It also offers a much faster time to value for customers, and time to market for service providers by eliminating the hassles of do-it-yourself integration. No other object storage solution in the industry rivals the depth of HCP integration across workforce mobility components and security features on premises and across public clouds.
