This strategic collaboration aims to help enterprises improve agility and resilience while optimising energy consumption through AI-powered data orchestration. The introduction of Red Hat OpenShift containers on this converged infrastructure addresses the rising complexity of managing multiple applications across diverse environments.
With the application container market experiencing rapid growth, fueled by AI-led digital transformation, enterprises are increasingly automating traditional IT tasks. This reduces deployment timelines and enhances application performance and scalability. However, security challenges persist, as a Red Hat report indicates that 67 per cent of organisations have delayed container-based application deployments due to security concerns.
The integrated solution simplifies container adoption by offering a pre-validated enterprise infrastructure, enabling faster application development, operational consistency, and resilience for latency-sensitive workloads. By harnessing AI-driven, environmentally responsible data management on a trusted data platform, businesses can boost confidence, mitigate risk, and reduce their environmental footprint.
Dan McConnell, Senior Vice President, Product Management and Enterprise Infrastructure, Hitachi Vantara, emphasised the significance of the collaboration. He said, “Organisations today are under immense pressure to modernise their IT infrastructure while meeting sustainability goals. Our partnership with Cisco and Red Hat reflects our commitment to delivering solutions that support both business innovation and environmental responsibility. This converged solution empowers businesses to build and scale containerized applications seamlessly, ensuring high performance and operational consistency.”
Designed as a unified platform for deploying and managing containerised and virtualised applications across on-premises and cloud environments, Hitachi’s VSP arrays enable organisations to consolidate workloads efficiently, boosting performance while reducing infrastructure needs. Notably, Hitachi storage has earned the ENERGY STAR certification and was recognised as the top storage solution for performance and energy efficiency, securing the top three ranked positions in this category.
This latest offering underscores the collective vision of Hitachi Vantara, Cisco and Red Hat—delivering resilient, high-performance infrastructure solutions that support digital transformation and sustainability in modern enterprises.
