Hitachi targets IoT and cloud with Vantara launch
Hitachi has launched Hitachi Vantara, a new business entity to leverage the broad portfolio of innovation, development and experience from across Hitachi Group companies to deliver data-driven solutions for commercial and industrial enterprises.
This new company will unify the operations of Hitachi Data Systems, Hitachi Insight Group, and Pentaho into a single integrated business as Hitachi Vantara to capitalise on Hitachi’s capability in both operational technologies (OT) and information technologies (IT).
Hitachi has played in the OT space for industries such as finance, government, manufacturing, power/energy and transportation for over 100 years.
Hitachi said Vantara will bring new data-driven solutions and services to market. ” Data has become a businesses’ greatest asset—if they can extract actionable insights from it. Data holds the key to new revenue streams, better customer experiences, improved market insights and lower costs of doing business.”
Hitachi Vantara will also continue to provide infrastructure and analytics technologies that enterprises rely on for their mission-critical data in their data centres, in the cloud and at the edge of new innovations. “The new company is targeting the emerging IoT market opportunity, in which there is no clear winner yet,” it said.
The new company will also continue to develop data management and analytics technologies including Hitachi’s data infrastructure, storage and compute solutions, and Pentaho software.
“It will also be driving the development of strategic software and services solutions, including Hitachi Smart Data Centre software and services, Lumada, Hitachi’s IoT platform, now available as a standalone, commercial software offering, and Hitachi co-creation services,” Hitachi said.
