New Hitachi Vantara Virtual Storage Platform Drastically Lowers Data Storage Costs and Simplifies Data Infrastructure Management for Midsize Enterprises

Leave a comment

BANGKOK, April 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hitachi Vantara, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501), today introduced Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) E990, the company’s new storage platform for midsize enterprise customers.

The E990’s high performance and low latency supercharge business applications, and industry-leading data de-duplication guarantees storage cost reductions. Hitachi Ops Center‘s powerful artificial intelligence (AI)-driven management software can also dramatically simplify storage provisioning for AI, machine learning (ML) and containerized applications. The E990 with Hitachi Ops Center provides an NVMe all-flash option for Hitachi Vantara’s family of solutions for midsize enterprises, adding to a broad portfolio of powerful infrastructure solutions that feature best-in-class performance and include Hitachi’s signature 100% data availability guarantee for businesses of all sizes.

The company also unveiled EverFlex from Hitachi Vantara, a program that provides simple, elastic and comprehensive acquisition choices for the E990 and the entire Hitachi Vantara portfolio. EverFlex adds consumption-based pricing models that range from basic utility pricing, to custom outcome-based services, to Storage as a Service. It will align IT spend with business use for midsize enterprises, enabling effective ways to lower cost, avoid wasting capacity and eliminate disruption.

Industry-Leading Deduplication Reduces Storage Costs

With data volumes forecast to rise to 23%[1] and data storage budgets growing only 10%[2] on average, midsize enterprises urgently need solutions to reduce storage costs. The new Hitachi VSP E990 with Hitachi Ops Center delivers industry-leading 4:1 data deduplication – twice that of Hitachi’s closest competitor – guaranteeing to free up 75% of storage capacity[3].

AI-Enhanced Management Tools Radically Simplify Storage Provisioning

Industry analyst firm 451 Research, now a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, suggests 43%[4] of storage buyers feel unprepared to support increased future demands. Hitachi Vantara VSP E990 combined with Ops Center directly addresses this challenge. Ops Center’s AI-enhanced management streamlines storage delivery by up to 90%[3] for demanding applications. It also reduces manual storage provisioning tasks by up to 70%[3] and delivers root cause issue analysis four times faster to accelerate troubleshooting.

Trusted Performance that Won’t Break the Bank

Hitachi Vantara VSP E990 addresses the data infrastructure reliability challenges that many enterprises continue to face: One-third of enterprises still suffer outages[5] or significant performance degradation as a result of storage reliability issues. VSP E990 delivers Hitachi Vantara’s long-standing leadership in reliability to midsize enterprises at a price point they can afford. It features an all-NVMe architecture with the industry’s leading and lowest-cost IOPS (as low as $0.03 per IOPS) and ultra-low latency for the most resource-hungry business applications.

Predictable Pricing and Flexible Consumption

New EverFlex adds greater choice in consumption-based pricing models that make pricing predictable for cloud-like storage usage. It starts by enabling customers to pay only for what they use and align technology spending with business use to reduce costs by up to 20%[3], eliminating the need to pay for the essential reserve capacity that every installation needs. Added services are available to further reduce costs and avoid disruptions to business by providing outcome-based operational services that help deliver more consistent service levels without placing additional burden on staff.

VSP E990 is Supercharged for Partners, too

The VSP E990 is ideal for partners to deliver innovation and benefits important to midsize enterprise customers. Hitachi Vantara continues to invest in its predictable, profitable and pioneering partner program with enablement tools, marketing resources and incentives designed for distributors and resellers focused on midsize enterprises. Read the blog post by Hitachi Vantara Channel Chief Kimberly King to learn more about the opportunity VSP E990 presents for partners and to read commentary from the company’s global partner community.

Supporting Quotes

“With its Virtual Storage Platform E990 system, Hitachi is upping the ante in midrange storage. The VSP E990 is an all-NVMe system that is both storage-class memory (SCM) and NVMe-over-fabric (NVMEoF) ready, can scale to nearly 6 million IOPS and well over 16 petabytes of effective capacity, provides a ‘no questions asked’ 4:1 data reduction guarantee based on just compression and deduplication, and is backed by Hitachi’s 100-percent data availability guarantee,” said Eric Burgener, research vice president, Enterprise Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies, IDC. “Midrange enterprises that need room to grow for their mission-critical workloads should look at the compelling value proposition offered by the Hitachi VSP E990.”

“The VSP E990 is really compelling, especially the software,” said Eros Tibor, Team Coordinator, Central European Data Center Compute & Storage Team, KBC Group. “I would buy it.”

“Hitachi Vantara has led the storage industry for decades with proven, reliable data solutions that are time-tested for performance, availability and scalability and backed by our pioneering 100% data availability guarantee,” said Joe Ong, Vice President and General Manager, ASEAN at Hitachi Vantara.

“The VSP E990 storage solution is highly applicable to mid-size and enterprise customers in ASEAN that value cost savings, or that may need modular systems to scale, especially in the hybrid cloud space,” he added.

“A best-in-class, all-flash NVMe storage solution, the VSP E990 is as reliable as high-performance enterprise infrastructure, yet it has agility, which is critical for stability. The robust solution together with the Hitachi Ops Center and AIOps works harder, so that our customers can work smarter for their customers.”

Leave a comment
  • Popular overseas shopping sites have recorded month-on-month transaction volume growth, such as Taobao (111%), ASOS (60%), Alibaba (41%), Aliexpress (17%)
  • Local e-commerce sites like EZbuy (65%) and Lazada (11%) are hot favourites among Singaporeans

  • The biggest e-commerce spending growth came from the Gaming category, with Nintendo raking in 278% growth from February to March

SINGAPORE, April 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — YouTrip, Singapore’s first multi-currency mobile wallet with over 500,000 downloads, has noted a shift in user spending habits over the past months. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, both foreign and domestic e-commerce spending has shown resilience in the Singapore market. The top 3 foreign currencies transacted in the month of February include USD, GBP and AUD.

When travel restrictions were heightened in February, YouTrip observed a 20% increase in e- commerce spending via YouTrip’s prepaid Mastercard, in both foreign and domestic categories. This follows the trend reported by a Nielsen study that states online purchases of FMCG have reached 8% in February this year, compared to 6% of total e-commerce spending in 2019.

Have Internet, Will Shop

With circuit breaker measures and travel restrictions in place, YouTrip is seeing a steady flow of foreign transactions take place online instead. The top 5 e-commerce spending categories are Gaming, Fashion, Home Decor, Health and Supplements and Electronics. Popular foreign e- commerce sites have experienced a boom in spending, with the top sites like Taobao seeing a 111% growth rate, with ASOS in second place with a 60% increase, Alibaba in third at 41%, and Aliexpress at 17%.

Caecilia Chu, Co-Founder and CEO of YouTrip, said: “What is equally important to us now is that we are here for our users and supporting them through times of uncertainty. We’ve most recently introduced a new COVID-19 refund policy to help them process any travel-related refunds back into their linked bank accounts, as our commitment towards putting users first remains steadfast.

YouTrip gives users access to competitive wholesale exchange rates where users can exchange over 150 foreign currencies in real-time, with no extra fees. These features mean users can pay in different currencies with a single card, simplifying the way they spend on global sites.

Although YouTrip is primarily a travel card, many users are using YouTrip’s prepaid Mastercard to make purchases within Singapore as well, primarily in the shopping, food and grocery categories. YouTrip saw an increase for local e-commerce sites EZbuy (65%), and Lazada (11%); food delivery from PizzaHut Delivery (49%), Domino’s Pizza (43%), Foodpanda (35%), McDonald’s (19%), and Deliveroo (13%). Online grocery companies have also seen strong growth as the demand for grocery deliveries spike during this period, NTUC online leads at 226%, PrimeNow (13%), EA Mart (8%).

Play At Home While You Stay At Home

Gaming was the category that showed the greatest growth among the categories. As consumers turn to games for entertainment, consoles like the Nintendo Switch has seen global supply shortages. YouTrip has seen the largest increase for purchases from Nintendo in foreign currency- since the AUD experienced a dip against SGD in mid-March. Nintendo purchases made via AUD increased 278%, with JPY at 76%, and purchases made in SGD at a 57% increase. PlayStation and Steam Games have also seen increases, at 60% and 50% respectively.

The implementation of remote work policies has resulted in users also craving more entertainment and communication. YouTrip saw an increase in transactions for entertainment subscription services with users preferring to go for Amazon Prime (26%), Netflix (14%), and Spotify (15%). The shift to telecommuting has also resulted in a huge increase in demand for paid video conferencing services such as Zoom (212%), and Skype (129%).

“YouTrip was created to help solve the cross border payment dilemma and during this period, we are dedicated to helping our users save on foreign currency transactions online, even if they aren’t physically travelling,” added Caecilia.

Last year MRI acquired Rockend, the market-leading provider of residential property and strata management solutions in the ANZ PropTech sector, significantly expanding its offering in the region and bringing the largest residential footprint in Australia into the MRI fold. The company now has close to 6,000 clients and over 200 employees in the APAC region.

Telerman replaces Bruce Duner, MRI’s outgoing CFO, who joined in early 2019 and saw the company through a number of key acquisitions, as well as helping bring Harvest Partners onboard as an investor. Ghilani notes: “The contributions Bruce made to MRI will have a lasting impact on our future success, and we greatly appreciate his dedication and leadership. We wish him great success as he moves onto his next endeavor.”

Huitao Technology’s Online Education Platform Enters Final Testing Phase

Leave a comment

NEW YORK, April 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Huitao Technology Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: HHT) (the “Company”, “we” or “HHT”), a company which is in the process of disposing its legacy ready-mix concrete materials business and transitioning into an innovative education service provider, announced today that its jointly developed online education platform with Color China has entered the final testing phase and is expected to launch in early May 2020.

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement signed on March 30, 2020, Huitao Technology and Color China will collaborate in producing and streaming celebrity-taught online lessons and celebrity generated content videos on this platform. The platform will also create a live-streaming and audio community and serve as an e-commerce channel for commercialized celebrity IP products.

Registered in Hong Kong, Color China is considered to be a significant live-entertainment organizer in Asia, hosting more than 100 live concerts every year and is home to massive media assets in music production, songwriting, musical instruments and performing arts. Color China aims to recruit an All-Star Crew to be coaches on the Color Star program, including top-notch professional vocalists, producers, musicians and more.

The rapid spread of COVID-19, and the subsequent stay-at-home orders that have been issued by large number of governments around the world to contain the pandemic, have helped fundamentally underscore the prominence and benefits of online education. Online programs will continue to play a large role in the education industry even after the coronavirus outbreak is contained.

Mr. Yang (Sean) Liu, Chief Executive Officer of HHT commented, “We are very excited to cooperate with Color China to bring forward a pioneering learning experience and curriculum to our students. This platform will provide students direct access to well-known celebrities and music artists.”
