Hitachi Vantara Unveils New Turnkey IoT Appliance, Powered by Lumada Software
2017年9月20日 - 12:50AM
Hitachi Vantara, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd.
(TSE:6501), today unveiled a new appliance for internet of things
(IoT) deployments: Hitachi IoT Appliance, powered by Lumada,
Hitachi’s IoT platform. Delivered as a turnkey system, the
appliance’s “hyperconverged meets microservices” architecture
combines Hitachi’s best-in-class storage and compute with
industry-leading networking technologies and comes fully integrated
with Hitachi’s latest Lumada software. Hitachi IoT Appliance has
been fully pre-architected and pre-validated to provide a
plug-and-play solution that can be easily deployed and
production-ready in under an hour. This gives users the ability to
more rapidly connect, monitor and extract actionable insights from
their business and industrial assets.
For enterprises looking to implement IoT initiatives as part of
their digital business strategies, a secure IoT solution is
necessary to connect physical assets, ingest and blend data from
disparate sources at high speeds, and turn it into actionable
insights without disruption to normal business processes. Despite a
proliferation of IoT platforms and solutions in the market today,
security concerns, complex IT deployment cycles, risk of downtime,
infrastructure requirements and a lack of internal resources to
support them have stalled many IoT initiatives—and in some cases,
deterred organizations from embracing them altogether.
According to Gartner, Inc.: “Increasingly, enterprises are being
asked either to implement or to participate in IoT solutions.
Business units and outside partners are demanding IoT enablement of
services and products. Unlike the adoption of other "new
technologies," IoT modifies and enhances existing services and
products, which are already essential. IoT's triple challenge is to
implement quickly, avoid disruption of existing operations and
ensure high levels of service quality.”1
Hitachi IoT Appliance is purpose-built to address these issues.
From factory floors and solar farms, to water treatment plants and
enterprise datacenters, analysis of connected data is helping
organizations to optimize their operations. The expected result is
greater performance and output, efficiency, efficacy and extended
life of industrial equipment and capital assets. It simplifies
IoT deployments in any number of industrial settings and can be
placed at a location of a customer’s choosing—from edge to
core—where data privacy, compliance, network limitations and other
challenges can be more easily addressed. This can significantly
reduce the associated risk, complexity and uncertainty of IoT
deployments in enterprise and industrial environments, with faster
time to insight, value and better business outcomes. Outcomes like
streamlined operational efficiencies, improved asset utilization
and product quality, better customer experiences and creating new
revenue streams. Designed to make it simple and
intuitive for customers to put Lumada, Hitachi’s intelligent,
composable and flexible IoT platform, to work, Hitachi IoT
Appliance can help users to get their IoT solution deployments up
and running — fast. Users can more rapidly realize the benefits of
Lumada’s advanced data blending and orchestration, artificial
intelligence, machine learning and analytics capabilities, which
help to rapidly gather and manage data for analysis and extract
rich insights that support better business decision-making.
“Hitachi IoT Appliance combines the best of Hitachi’s trusted IT
infrastructure and data management solutions integrated with our
intelligent, flexible and composable Lumada software and enhanced
security features to provide enterprise organizations with the
ability to rapidly implement IoT deployments at scale,” said Gaurav
Bora, vice president, industrial IoT product management at Hitachi
Vantara. “Our customers can now more quickly extract value and
insight from their physical and digital assets, to support better
decision-making and digital innovations that ultimately can help
them to transform their businesses.”
