The portfolio of services aims to equip organisations with a consumption-based model that reduces initial capital expenditures and ensures alignment of IT expenses with business needs. Hyperautomation and AI-driven insights aim to help organisations quickly diagnose and fix IT problems.
Jeb Horton, senior vice president of global services at Hitachi Vantara, said: "What sets the portfolio apart is its ability to seamlessly integrate with existing IT environments regardless of vendor, providing a smoother transition to hybrid cloud operating models and ensuring that organisations can innovate without being held back by outdated infrastructure."
