Among today's most pressing IT challenges is the need to reenergize the data center to readily
accommodate changing business requirements and demands for always-accessible information.
But with an erratic economic climate and escalating IT costs, the data center has become a ticking
time bomb. To solve the dilemma of swiftly meeting both data growth and budgetary ultimatums, IT
must be agile.
Hitachi Data Systems is focused on building this agility into the data center architecture to rapidly
address both current and future needs dictated by change. Using a whole-systems approach to
achieving agility, Hitachi helps enterprise organizations transform their data centers, optimize a
return on assets and align infrastructure performance with business objectives.
This paper examines the four rubrics of data center transformation: virtualization, automation, cloudreadiness
and sustainability. It illustrates how Hitachi technologies, services and solutions facilitate
the agility required to achieve it.
