Hitachi Vantara brings in Data Protection-as-a-Service (DPaaS) with Storage-as-a-Service

Hitachi Vantara has introduced new Data Protection-as-a-Service from Hitachi Vantara (DPaaS) and expanded capabilities for Storage-as-a-Service from Hitachi Vantara (STaaS). These services directly deliver the intended business outcomes from storage and data protection that enterprises need. The as-a-service offerings are pre-engineered and delivered as fully managed services to provide rapid deployment, transparent consumption-based pricing and guaranteed service levels.

As more enterprises incorporate cloud technology in their IT environments, interest has grown for cloud like approaches to the on-premise infrastructure. This helps enterprises achieve the scalability, security, flexible consumption and system management they need. Applying over 25 years of worldwide operational expertise in monitoring and managing information systems, Hitachi Vantara provides a fully managed public cloud experience as an alternative to conventional data protection and to storage leasing and purchasing.

Benefits of the New Data Protection-as-a-Service From Hitachi Vantara Include:

· Lower risk in deploying data protection in new environments

· Guarantee of desired service-level outcomes from day one

· Greater control and confidence in price and protection

· Ability to protect data that resides on Hitachi as well as other vendors’ storage

Enhancements to Storage-as-a-Service From Hitachi Vantara Include:

· End-to-end support for all data types with object, block and file storage now available

· Accelerated deployment time, and time to desired service level

· Budget savings from reducing unused capacity

· Assurance of achieving desired service levels

These solutions provide flexible “pay-as-you-go” pricing and transparency via a rate card. Customers can use advanced analytics to make informed operational decisions to improve efficiencies and reduce the financial waste of paying for unused capacity. Hitachi Vantara’s “always on” services team manages each customer’s infrastructure and service catalog. The service level catalog provides a range of choice for performance, data availability, retention, remote replication, and RTO/RPO. These solutions allow customers to keep security, compliance and data sovereignty under their control and ensure they are achieving the service levels needed for their businesses. Hitachi will deliver these solutions directly as well as through our global systems integrators (GSI) and cloud service provider (CSP) partners as part of their value-added solutions.

Bobby Soni, Chief Solutions and Services Officer at Hitachi Vantara, says, “Today’s dynamic IT environments require nimble resource allocation strategies. Our new storage and data protection-as-a-service offerings deliver customers more choice and flexibility, providing the keys to higher scalability, enhanced security, and greater resilience.”

Hitachi Vantara's Data Protection-as-a-Service (DPaaS) and Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) offerings are now generally available globally from Hitachi Vantara and its network of partners.
