Hitachi Data Systems Corporation (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, has unveiled the next phase of its social innovation business strategy in conjunction with new solutions and services.

These include Hitachi Live Insight for IT Operations, Hitachi Clinical Repository for connected health, and Hitachi Live Insight Center of Excellence, a statement said.

The company also announced a powerful new line-up of software-defined infrastructure solutions to simplify IT and support mission-critical workloads.

“Hitachi Data Systems is rapidly evolving to become more than just a storage company. They’re smartly driving better business and societal outcomes for their customers through the expansion of expertise and offerings that integrate the Internet of Things, operational technology, and machine-to-machine and data analytics, which are increasingly important to organizations in both the public and private sectors,” said Vernon Turner, senior vice president of Enterprise Systems and IDC Fellow for The Internet of Things.

“In a world where rampant data growth and increasing IT and organizational complexity are often the culprits for stunted business growth, vendors that can streamline the path to becoming a truly data-driven organization ultimately stand to gain significant mind and market share.”
