Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) has announced that it has established a new subsidiary focussed on serving the IT needs of the U.S. Federal Government.
HDS Federal Corporation will reduce the complexity and increase the efficiency of U.S. government data center initiatives, including the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI), cloud services, big data analytics, and others. It will also leverage the virtualization and cloud solutions of its parent company to help U.S. government agencies meet the requirements of the initiatives more quickly and with greater use of their existing IT infrastructure.
Michael Tanner, CEO, Hitachi Data Systems Federal Corporation, said, “The U.S. Federal Government continues to be one of the largest purchasers of IT hardware, solutions and services. This is a market that HDS has been investing in for more than 5 years, and now with the launch of Hitachi Data Systems Federal Corporation we are even more committed and better equipped to bring the IT industry’s most reliable, trusted and advanced virtualization solutions to the U.S. government agencies. We recognize the challenges these agencies face as they look for ways to continue reducing their overall IT spending amid an ever-growing mountain of data. Our storage economics model combined with our flexible, secure and scalable cloud platforms are proven to reduce capex and opex, while driving increased efficiencies throughout the data center.”
Among the key solutions for increasing IT efficiency that HDS Federal Corporation will bring to the U.S. government agencies is Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP).
