Hitachi Data Systems Kickstarts Virtual Conference on Cloud Technologies
Opportunity to win exciting prizes through ‘Sharing Cloud Innovation’ video competition launched in conjunction with virtual conference
Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE: HIT) and the only provider of Services Oriented Storage Solutions, launched a state-of-the-art virtual conference to drive awareness and education on their cloud strategy. This announcement comes on the heels of the recent launch of new agile cloud solution that combines best-in-class technologies from Hitachi Data Systems.
Addressing the challenge of ever-growing unstructured data, the virtual conference— accessed through www.hds.com/go/virtual-show—is an initiative that highlights the integrated, yet open, storage technologies evolving in cloud computing today. These technologies span a variety of workloads to support the diverse user applications. The conference demonstrates the effectiveness of the Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) that provides essential security, reliability and multitenancy for cloud infrastructures. The technologies enable companies to adopt cloud services at their own pace.
The virtual conference will be operational for a period of four months starting from now. It takes visitors through a series on information pit-stops that acquaint them with Hitachi Data Systems technologies associated with cloud and HCP. Comprising interactive presentations by experts at Hitachi Data Systems, product demonstrations, and case studies, the virtual conference addresses the synergies of both cloud computing and HCP in achieving integration of storage management, lowering cost of ownership and increasing operational simplicity.
“Cloud computing - a natural progression from virtualization technology - is emerging as a key strategy for driving IT transformation in 2010. End-to-end server and storage virtualization and management, coupled with file and content services are going to be key enablers for a comprehensive cloud strategy,” said Ravi Rajendran, Vice President and General Manager for ASEAN, Hitachi Data Systems. “By leveraging Hitachi Data Systems’ Agile Cloud Portfolio, we are able to guide customers and service providers toward a public or private cloud environment that is cost-effective, scalable and secure.”
A novel social media campaign titled ‘Sharing Cloud Innovation’ is being launched in conjunction with the conference. Targeted at Facebook users, ‘Sharing Cloud Innovation’ is a video competition for individuals to submit a one-minute video highlighting their portrayal of cloud computing in an innovative and inspiring way. The winning video will be selected on the basis of both its popularity and judges’ discretion. Facebook users can ask their friends to press ‘Like’ to the posted videos on the Hitachi Data Systems ‘Sharing Cloud Innovation’ Facebook webpage. The creator of the most “Liked’ Video coupled with the judges’ decision will win two return air tickets to Tokyo, Japan. The video competition will run on Facebook from now until end of January 2010.
“Cloud computing offers a viable alternative to traditional long term approaches to compute capacity consumption and investment. Most cloud methodologies are not in tune with heterogeneous infrastructures of enterprises. The results are poorly utilized data silos, a situation that organizations tried to avoid in the first place. Our focus is on enabling a dynamic cloud environment that virtualizes all existing storage resources into a single, agile and services oriented infrastructure that reduces storage costs, mitigates risk and is easily managed in the face of changing demands. We hope that through the virtual conference, we can educate our customers and IT community at large on the benefits of this technology and how it can deliver benefits for a variety of industries,” said Sunil Chavan, Director, Content & File Services, Asia Pacific of Hitachi Data Systems.
Viewers registering for the conference can leave the questions, comments or messages on every presentation, video, and webcast that forms a part of the virtual conference. Attendees can also download content such as datasheets, whitepapers, and solution brochures from the interactive site.
