Hitachi Vantara introduces Cloud-enabled data recovery solution-HDID

Hitachi Vantara introducing the latest version of its specialized data recovery platform, Hitachi Data Instance Director (HDID) v6, which significantly modernizes IT environments and how data is protected. This newest version improves data availability – a requirement for transforming an organization into a modern digital enterprise – by supporting always-on service objectives.

This addresses the needs of customers, partners and global system integrators requiring a cloud-enabled data recovery solution. It provides a comprehensive application-programming interface, multitenancy and granular role-based access controls coupled with a highly scalable, whiteboard-style policy engine.

Customers and cloud providers alike can benefit from outcomes by:

· Aligning user access capabilities to the business’ organizational structure and responsibilities through granular role-based access controls.

· Delivering recovery and DR as a service for private cloud through a functional, rich REST API.

• Simplifying complex business continuity policies through a whiteboard-based, highly scalable user interface.

· Protecting from ransomware through automation of storage-assisted volume-locking functionality to enable fast, full recovery.

Speaking on the same, Iri Trashanski, Senior Vice-President, Market Development and Product Management, Hitachi Vantara, said, “Traditional approaches to data protection cannot protect critical data fast enough or frequently enough. They also can’t recover from multiple failure scenarios quickly enough to meet today’s data availability requirements.”

“Our goal at Hitachi Vantara is to help customers achieve tangible outcomes that positively drive business forward. HDID does just that. It delivers fast and frequent protection with virtually no impact on production applications as well as near-instant local and remote recovery.” “Given today’s growing cybersecurity concerns, organizations grasp that they must modernize the way their data is protected,” added Trashanski.

“When you modernize production, you must also modernize protection. Nowhere is that more important than in support of IT modernization and digital transformation initiatives, where backup, BC/DR, and assured availability of IT systems is paramount,” added Jason Buffington, Principal Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group.

HDID v6 provides the core capabilities for Cloud providers to supply modern data protection services to their customers, enhancing their competitiveness and profitability.
