HDS makes it easier to build a cloud

Sunil: 'Many organisations want the benefits of having a private cloud at their workplace but are not sure how to begin. In this case, our converged datacentre solutions can help them.'

KUALA LUMPUR: In order for organisations to adopt cloud computing more efficiently, Hitachi Data Systems Corp has released a set of converged datacentre solutions built on a Microsoft platform.
These are Hitachi Solutions for Microsoft Hyper-V Cloud Fast Track and Hitachi Converged Platform for Microsoft Exchange 2010.
The solutions enable organisations to build cloud infrastructure using Hitachi products (storage, servers and networking with software management, automation and optimisation) running on the Microsoft platform.
"With these, organisations can build cloud infrastructure with ease, more cost-effectively and more reliably," said Sunil Chavan, director of software group and cloud for Asia-Pacific at Hitachi Data Systems Pte Ltd.
"Many organisations want the benefits of having a private cloud at their workplace but are not sure how to begin. In this case, our converged datacentre solutions can help them."
The benefits of converged datacentre solutions for organisations include pre-validated reference architectures, pre-packed solutions with enterprise-class components, as well as guides and templates - all the features needed to make it easier to deploy cloud computing at the workplace.
"With these solutions in place, organisations can also implement their cloud infrastructure now, build it up over time, combine different solutions, and even extend solutions to current IT infrastructures," said Chavan.
The solutions are targeted at banking and financial services providers, telecommunications companies, and others.
