Hitachi Vantara, AMD collaborate on high-performance, energy-efficient data solutions

Hitachi Vantara, a subsidiary of Hitachi focusing on data storage, infrastructure, and hybrid cloud management, has introduced new high-performance and energy-efficient hybrid cloud and database solutions powered by AMD. 

The new solutions, utilising 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors, combine converged and hyperconverged technologies, including the Hitachi Unified Computer Platform (UCP). These advancements are designed to enhance data centre performance and efficiency for businesses. 

The company’s new offerings provide significant improvements in performance, scalability, and cost reduction for hybrid cloud, database, and high-performance environments. The solutions are geared towards accelerating innovation by improving processing times for various workloads, including general-purpose applications, databases, high-performance computing, and computer-aided engineering (CAE). 

“With increasing demand from businesses and customers to maximise the performance of business applications, organisations need innovative solutions to stay ahead. This announcement represents a convergence of expertise and innovation aimed at empowering businesses with transformative solutions,” said Octavian Tanase, chief product officer, Hitachi Vantara.  

Key benefits of the new solutions include breakthrough performance with fewer cores for cloud, enterprise, and edge computing workloads. The pre-validated and certified Hitachi UCP solutions feature modern designs and smaller footprints, which contribute to reduced carbon dioxide emissions and increased energy efficiency. 

The new converged and hyperconverged solutions offer high-density and bandwidth infrastructure, enabling the consolidation of multiple enterprise workloads and lowering the total cost of ownership. The UCP portfolio also includes the Hitachi UCP for Azure Stack HCI, providing a consistent hybrid cloud infrastructure across edge, core, and public clouds, as per the company.
