Improve IT Efficiency With Hyperconverged Solutions for VMware Environments

Drive down TCO with software-defined data-center technologies, introduced with the hyperconverged Hitachi Unified Compute

Platform HC (UCP HC) family. Unleash the power of hyperconvergence by driving up performance and availability for your critical business applications, improving return on investment (ROI). Reduce dependence on human intervention by automating the routine IT operations with policies that deliver service level objectives per application. Reduce costs by eliminating resource overprovisioning with a policy-based management framework. Use integrated data reduction technologies to reduce actual storage consumption, bringing down capital expenditure (capex).

Hitachi Unified Compute Platform HC for Modern Enterprises

The UCP HC family offers VMware vSAN-powered hyperconverged solutions that accelerate time to market, and eliminate complexity of legacy IT infrastructure. UCP HC solutions are architected to linearly scale, without loss in performance or control, to be in lockstep with business initiatives. They provide the flexibility that allows IT teams to grow UCP HC environment, just when it is needed, freeing up capex in underutilized resources. It leverages industry-leading, software-defined storage VMware vSAN for you to continue to leverage your skills and experience on VMware toolsets, without learning new management software.

Reliable, Scalable Platform for Traditional and Cloud-Native Workloads

The UCP HC family redefines simplicity with compute, storage and virtualization in a simple, scalable, easy- to-deploy hyperconverged appliance. Each UCP HC family model combines industry-leading policy-based management and data protection solutions in a single, all-inclusive, easy-to-order solution to help you deliver agile and efficient IT services.

IT Agility

UCP HC solutions allow provisioning of virtual machines (VMs) in minutes after initial racking and cabling, enabling customers to accelerate time to value. UCP HC solutions help you align IT with business requirements.

Improved IT Efficiency

Increase VM density with predictable performance to maximize your ROI from infrastructure invest- ments. The ability to leverage software-defined data center elements with industry-standard hardware reduces capex and operational expenses (opex) of UCP HC solutions. Maximize IT efficiency with reduced operational overheads due to automation.

Flexibility: Tailor IT to Your Business Needs UCP HC family solutions enable businesses to become more flexible with pay-as-you-grow deployment models. Linearly scale-out to provide investment predictability, without requiring massive upfront expenditure in legacy three-tier architecture. You have the flexibility in component config- uration to meet IT needs that are specific to your applications.

Continuous Application Availability

UCP HC solutions provide local and remote data protection, ensuring continuous availability of and access to applications and data, despite one or multiple failures of hardware or software. All models are designed for no single point of failure. Built-in resilience tolerates failure of disks, host, rack or entire site and ensures always-on applications.

VM-Centricity

The robust policy-based automation framework of the UCP HC family delivers data services per VM, eliminating uncertainty. Through policies, this framework delivers the IT services that applications need. Gain greater efficiency with the move from infrastructure-oriented to VM-centric IT.

Smart Life-Cycle Management

Hitachi Unified Compute Platform Advisor, employed with UCP HC solutions, provides smart life-cycle management for your physical infrastructure, enabling firmware upgrades, hardware monitoring and power management. It offers centralized management of firmware, processors, chassis status, bios settings, Ethernet ports and more. Use this simplified approach to manage your physical and virtual infrastructure.

Modernize Data Centers With Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Select the hyperconverged system that helps meet your strategic objectives by delivering predictable IT, while lowering business risk.

Consistent High Performance for Mixed Workloads

Require scalable performance from your hyperconverged infrastructure, to support performance-sensitive, business-critical applications.

High VM Density Lowers IT Costs

For higher ROI, ensure that you have high VM density, without resource contention.

IT Resilience Is Imperative: Downtime Is Not an Option

High availability is a necessary prerequisite to ensure your applications are running 24/7. Snapshot, remote replication and stretched cluster configurations to meet application uptime SLAs.

Unified Management

Single software interface for provisioning, management, orchestration and monitoring.

Space Efficiency

Improve operational efficiency by reducing storage requirement with deduplication, compression and erasure coding, with minimalistic impact on performance.

Ensure Investment Continuity: Maximize Existing Expertise

Leverage your organization’s skill sets and experience on VMware software, without requiring new learning new tools.

Single-Vendor Support Ensures Smooth Operations

Streamline your IT service and support process by dealing with a single vendor for the entire stack, including hardware, software and virtualization.

24/7 Single-Call Support

Ensure that a robust global support network delivers remote and on-premises support for your entire solution.
