HDS Wins 2012 Storage Visions Award

Hitachi Content Platform (HCP), has been honoured with a Visionary Product Award at the 2012 Storage Visions Conference, a leading event focusing on digital storage. HCP enables organizations to achieve the benefits of IT consolidation, cloud, archiving, backup reduction and more without compromising security or completely rewriting critical applications.

HCP is an intelligent object storage solution that simplifies and centralizes the management and distribution of unstructured and semi-structured data from multiple sources or locations, while maintaining global access to the data itself. It does this by storing data and metadata as a single item, which enables a content- and context-aware platform. HCP is optimized for scalability, reliability, efficiency and ease of use.

A single HCP offers up to 40 petabytes of usable capacity that can be securely divided to support hundreds of applications, workloads or organizations, and cater to their widely varying requirements. The massive scale, object approach and multitenancy of HCP make it an ideal platform for cloud environments and centralizing IT.

HCP also features advanced data, metadata and storage management capabilities including robust data protection and preservation technologies to eliminate the need for tape backups. All of these features can be monitored and managed through a single console that also provides tools to enable chargeback for cloud deployments.

Together with Hitachi Data Ingestor (HDI), a bottomless, backup-free cloud on-ramp and remote office and branch office (ROBO) solution, HCP helps simplify content collection and distribution. It accelerates cloud adoption by allowing customers to move to a cloud environment at their own pace.
