Jump-Start Your IT Infrastructure With Intelligent Flash Solutions
Modernize Your Data Center With Hitachi Flash Technologies and Brocade
Where there are data center challenges, opportunities emerge. Businesses must manage data,
which is centric to delivery of goods and services, while adjusting to the influences of disruptive
technologies. Colossal amounts of data move across applications, mobile devices, cloud and other
sources. However, within the challenges of managing this data lies the opportunity to capitalize on
it to gain fresh business insights, competitive advantage and customer satisfaction. Here’s where
IT is expected to do it all: Support, store and secure all the data while managing shifting business
requirements and operating within typically flatlined budgets.
Thriving in the digital economy demands nimble tools and modern, flexible IT infrastructure.
It’s time to move at the speed of flash.

Working together, Hitachi Flash Storage technologies and Brocade data center fabrics offer compelling, cost-effective solutions for navigating tomorrow’s marketplace today.
Transition to Hitachi Flash Storage for Faster, Smarter, Simpler ITTransitioning to all-flash or hybrid flash storage solutions means business decisions, time to market and response times for data-intensive applications all happen more quickly. More transactions are generated faster to support customer service. Flash storage helps lower data center costs with reduced power and footprint consumption, and fewer server deployments and software licenses. Whether accelerating applications or creating an efficient IT infrastructure, flash technologies from Hitachi Vantara offer the solution.
Hitachi and Brocade Deliver on the Promise of Flash Technologies
Delivering on the promise of flash storage requires networking excellence. Critical workloads, high-density virtualization and cloud-based architectures can heavily burden current infrastructures. To handle heightened bandwidth and lower latency objectives, the network infrastructure must exude superior availability, scalability and system performance. Brocade Gen 6 Fibre Channel SAN fabrics are the only purpose-built network solutions to provide this unparalleled resiliency for flash storage.
For financial institutions and other enterprises that require lightning-fast performance across their IT environments to support online banking, analytics and transactional processes, modernizing with flash drives results. In some cases, sub-millisecond response times can translate into positive financials. Monetarily mindful in an intensely competitive industry, banks and financial organizations can immediately benefit from flash-accelerated performance.
