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. Stay ahead of the pack and gain a competitive edge with information that will help you overcome challenges, unique to your industry vertical.

Solution showcase:

We are planning to demonstrate an exciting range of edge-to-cloud infrastructure solutions that will enable our customers to reap their DataOps advantages by delivering the right data to the right users at the right time.

Apps and Cloud migration will demonstrate how Hitachi enables you to migrate your applications from a Data Center to the Cloud as servers or as containers in a secure, easy, and automated way. It will show how Hitachi’s advanced tools automate provisioning and management of new and existing workloads or applications in the cloud.

Automated Hybrid Cloud solution will showcase our hybrid cloud capabilities

where we bring together VMware’s Enterprise-ready Hybrid Cloud Management

Platform (CMP) together with Hitachi’s Converged and Hyperconverged
Infrastructure and comprehensive tools to not only deliver enhanced private cloud
capability but also Day one and day two operations across private, public and
hybrid clouds using VMware and AWS technology.
High-performance all-NVMe hyperconverged IT platform, enabled by Intel
Optane, will be on display. It multiplies the performance and reduces the latency,
accelerating the apps and improving price/performance.
Automated data center area will show how businesses can deliver advanced
datacenter capabilities simply and easily using Hitachi’s rich management tooling
ecosystem with API driven integration.
Storage ops and data protection will round out the demos, showcasing how to
define and monitor SLOs and ensure continuous availability of applications and
data. We show how workloads and applications are protected automatically from
initial deployment (day1) and how users can take advantage of self-service
capabilities (day 2) for ad-hoc backup and copy services.

Knowledge Sharing:

Join experienced data center and cloud architects Shane Gibson and Joe Horstmann to learn Best Practices for Cloud Migration and Acceleration in a breakout session on Aug 27. They will discuss challenges faced by customers embarking on their cloud journey. Session will provide insights from helping organizations learn how to evolve a comprehensive multicloud strategy and make better decisions with application re-deployment on a public or private cloud platform.

We have planned multiple short, impactful presentations at Hitachi booth 1435 that will cover automate hybrid cloud, AI storage operations, all-NVMe hyperconvergence, VMware integrations, data protection, metro storage clustering and VDI technologies.
