Case Study: Hitachi achieves data center consolidation and cost savings with Flexential high-density colocation

High-density colocation environment yields successful data center relocation

Hitachi Vantara, amid major corporate growth, needed to relocate its U.S. data center to Colorado — a strategic market for expansion — but an internal facility wasn’t an option. After evaluating options, Hitachi chose Flexential’s Englewood data center for its high-density, fault-tolerant design, strong power and cooling capabilities, and low natural-disaster risk to meet compliance and availability requirements.

Flexential delivered a turnkey colocation solution with multilayered security, 24/7 expert monitoring and on-site support, and a dedicated solution architect to streamline deployment. Hitachi consolidated its footprint from 10,000 to 3,600 sq ft, cut costs, preserved uptime and compliance, and gained a prominent showcase space for its products while securing its multimillion-dollar investment.
