Hitachi Vantara, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi, has announced additions to the Hitachi Enterprise Cloud (HEC) family of fully managed private and hybrid cloud “as-a-service” offerings, including new options for deploying cloud-native application environments.
The HEC portfolio now supports cloud-native applications and distributed data services with the HEC Container Platform as well as VMware virtualised applications and bare metal applications with the existing HEC through VMware vRealize. Both are delivered as fully managed, pay-per-use environments and their service catalogues can be consolidated as a single solution that provides both capabilities.
The HEC Container Platform is the first pre-engineered as-a-service offering to provide a public cloud experience for organisations that use data services, DevOps and microservices architectures on premises. The fully managed end-to-end solution is based on the Mesosphere Datacenter Operating System (DC/OS) providing efficiency, support and control for deploying modern data services such as Spark, Kafka, Cassandra and the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).
Kubernetes container orchestration is also included out of the box, alongside Docker and the native Marathon orchestrator. Through a partnership with Mesosphere, the HEC Container Platform supports more than 100 DevOps and data services to accelerate the deployment of a ready-to-use cloud-native application environment.
Said William Freiberg, COO, Mesosphere: “With the availability of the HEC Container Platform, our joint customers can implement a working cloud-native environment as a managed service that enables leading data services — with maximum agility and control.”
The HEC family also offers new service classes. Redefined virtual capacity units (VCU) of HEC with VMware vRealize provide more cost-effective utilisation of on-demand resources and provide a new service class optimised for heavy compute workloads such as with SAP and Oracle. The newly-defined container capacity units (CCU) of the HEC Container Platform provide more efficient resource utilisation, increased cost efficiency and pricing transparency.
The HEC family now supports deployment in multiple clouds and in multiple zones from a single pane of glass under one consolidated management structure. This eases the IT management burden and reduces costs and risks for hybrid cloud deployments.
Market acceptance of Hitachi Enterprise Cloud with VMware vRealize continues to grow across all geographies and all industries, especially highly regulated industries, Hitachi Vantara said. “We continue to make Hitachi Enterprise Cloud solutions more consumable and less rigid in how they are delivered to give our customers greater flexibility and control over their data,” said Bobby Soni, Chief Solutions and Services Officer at Hitachi Vantara.
“Our HEC Container Platform solution benefits a critical resource group in today’s modern enterprise, cloud-native app developers and DevOps professionals, by giving them capability and automation that they have come to expect based on advances in services offered by public cloud hyperscalers.”
