HDS solutions help organizations deploy low risk cloud

In order to help customers tap storage resources in the cloud, Hitachi Data Systems has announced the Hitachi Cloud Service for Private File Tiering. The first in the cloud Services suite, the offering will enable enterprise customers to move legacy or lower value file data into a cloud storage environment and pay only for what they consume.

In partnership with Digi-Data Corporation, Hitachi is also offering a public online cloud storage solution that provides a complete services menu for telecommunications, service providers and system integrators to deliver public cloud storage-as-as-service offerings to consumers and SMBs.

The Hitachi Cloud Service for Private File Tiering will integrate HDS' hardware, software and services and will help organisations reduce costs, simplify management and improve the efficiency and utilization of their primary NAS environments by moving legacy or lower file data to a private cloud located within the customer’s firewall. This in turn would also help them to lower TCO of their NAS environment by at least 25 percent.
