Latin America. Hitachi introduced Hitachi Vantara, a company that leverages the broad portfolio of innovation, development and expertise of all Hitachi Group companies, to deliver data-driven solutions for commercial and industrial organizations.
This new company will unify the operations of Hitachi Data Systems, Hitachi Insight Group and Pentaho into a single integrated business like Hitachi Vantara, to capitalize on Hitachi's social innovation capabilities with operational technologies (OT) and information technology (IT). More than a century of OT experience combined with trusted IT in the world's largest enterprises
Hitachi has been a leader in OT for sectors such as finance, government, manufacturing, electricity, energy and transportation for more than 100 years, providing solutions that have positively impacted cities, industrial operations and businesses in general. The company has also been a leader in IT for more than 50 years, bringing IT, analytics, cloud and infrastructure solutions to market, which have transformed the way companies do business. Combining Hitachi's extensive OT expertise with its proven IT product innovations and solutions, Hitachi Vantara offers customers a powerful and collaborative data expert partner that no other company has to this day.
How to Fill a Critical Gap in the Emerging IoT Market
Hitachi Vantara will continue to offer infrastructure and analytics technologies to which companies base their critical data on data centers, the cloud and new innovations. Hitachi Vantara is targeting the new IoT market opportunity, in which there is still no clear winner.
According to Gartner, Inc., "more than $440 billion will be spent on IoT in 2020," 1 and the firm estimates that there will be more than 21 billion connected sensors and endpoints, in the same period. To address this market, Hitachi Vantara will leverage enterprise, human and machine data in OT and IT environments to build comprehensive data-driven solutions. Customers will be able to manage, store, govern, mix, analyze and visualize data, and take action based on results.
Hitachi's new Lumada IoT platform and Smart Data Center solutions were unveiled at the Hitachi NEXT 2017 conference in Las Vegas on September 19 and 20, where event attendees were able to see live demonstrations of the company's software and IoT solutions.
