Latin America. Hitachi Vantara announced its vision for the intelligent data center, which brings together the latest technologies and approaches in infrastructure management, predictive analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT), capabilities to address the challenges customers face in managing complex IT environments.
The company sees Smart Data Center as the best approach to optimize all aspects of IT operations across data centers, reduce costs, manage risk, and increase agility to respond to the changes demanded by today's businesses.
This Smart Data Center approach facilitates IT agility by centralizing control and automation processes spanning systems, data centers, and clouds. Smart Data Center differs from traditional IT management by automating decision making, vision, and guidance using predictive analytics, IoT, and prescriptive intelligence.
These advanced capabilities centralize IT infrastructure management for simple tasks such as provisioning and more complex operations, such as optimization and self-healing in data centers.
A fully managed Smart Data Center solution is now available through Hitachi Vantara's early customer adoption program. The solution is a fully managed offering that applies advanced analytics and integrated orchestration, both inside and outside the enterprise, to information collected in a customer's data center.
Customers are provided with the information, vision, and guidance needed to manage their heterogeneous infrastructure environments with predictable operational outcomes at lower cost.
The Early Customer Adoption program is designed to offer initial customers of the Smart Data Center solution the opportunity to co-create the final capabilities with our partners and with us before the solution is standardized for general availability. Co-creation ensures that our services offer strategic relevance and added value for clients and allow us to develop differentiated solutions with our partners.
