Hitachi Vantara @ VMworld 2019

Since my first VMworld in 2014, enterprise IT landscape has undergone a massive transformation. Public cloud is no longer an enigma as over 82% customers use the public cloud in some shape or form. VMware and AWS no longer fight on preferred IT deployment model, but rather have joined hands to address hybrid cloud use cases. True SDDC (Software-defined data center) vision has come to fruition with increasing maturity and adoption of vSAN software-defined storage and NSX network virtualization. Hitachi Vantara has kept pace with changing CXO priorities and aligned closely with VMware to develop joint solutions that let enterprises maximize the returns from their  Data Ops Advantage.

For VMworld 2019, we at Hitachi are preparing to deliver your DataOps Advantage. Below is what you can expect from Hitachi Vantara.

Preview to What’s Next: 

Hitachi’s experts will share insights on the latest industry trends and enterprise technologies. This is a great opportunity to gain knowledge on what’s going to become a cornerstone of tomorrow’s technology.
