Introduction
Over two days in early November 2022, Hitachi Vantara hosted a group of analysts to provide details on product and strategy. The conference was hosted by the CEO and attended by senior executives from all business units as well as from several key customers. This IDC Market Perspective provides an overview of the key messages delivered by Hitachi Vantara executives at the event as well as IDC’s point of view on the opportunities and challenges for Hitachi Vantara.
Hitachi Vantara led off the two-day analyst event with a session focused on Hitachi’s solutions approach to a “data driven” enterprise. Hitachi Vantara’s differentiation is in infrastructure and data management products. Its industry services leverage these products as the foundation to deliver innovative solutions that enable businesses to extract more value and insights from their data. Hitachi Vantara’s vision is that as businesses focus more on return on data-related investments, their need for reliable data infrastructure will increase, leading them to invest more with vendors with a solid reputation in delivering storage infrastructure for enterprise IT and industrial IoT and operational technology (OT) use cases.
