Organizations are swiftly assessing and adopting new technologies and information management practices to defend against and ultimately transcend digital disruptors that are emerging across every industry. Initiatives such as cloud, big data, mobile and social are no longer just buzz, but imminent.
A secure, multipurpose and distributed object-based storage system, Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) is designed to support large-scale private and hybrid cloud repositories of unstructured data. The smart web-scale solution enables IT organizations and cloud service providers to store, protect, preserve, retrieve and distribute unstructured content with a single storage platform. HCP supports multiple levels of service and readily evolves with technology and scale changes. With a vast array of data management, data protection and content preservation technologies, the economical system can significantly reduce resource requirements, and even eliminate its own tape-based backups or backups of edge devices connected to the platform.
HCP obviates the need for a siloed approach to storing unstructured content. With massive scale, multiple storage tiers, Hitachi reliability, nondisruptive hardware and software updates, multitenancy and configurable attributes for each tenant, the platform supports a wide range of applications on a single physical HCP instance. By dividing the physical system into multiple, uniquely configured tenants, administrators create “virtual content platforms” that can be further subdivided into namespaces for further organization of content, policies and access. With support for leading APIs, thousands of tenants, tens of thousands of namespaces, petabytes of capacity in one system, and hybrid cloud configurations based on integration with leading public cloud services, HCP is truly cloud-ready.
