Case Study: Beijing Internet Harbour Technology Company achieves 24/7 cloud availability and 40% TCO reduction with Hitachi Vantara Unified Compute Platform

Beijing-Based Internet Provider Builds Cloud Services on Hitachi Technology

Beijing Internet Harbour Technology Company, an Internet data center and cloud services provider, needed to improve customer satisfaction, guarantee continuous 24/7 operation, speed service deployment and curb rising costs. After testing distributed compute architectures that proved unstable and slow, the company engaged Hitachi Vantara and its Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) to unify compute, network and storage resources and meet aggressive agility and performance requirements.

Hitachi Vantara deployed UCP with Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400, Hitachi Accelerated Flash, Hitachi Compute Blade 500, Hitachi Command Suite and Dynamic Provisioning across Beijing and Shanghai data centers. The solution cut deployment time from about a year to one month, delivered five-times higher IOPS for key workloads, enabled continuous 24/7 operation, reduced power use by 20%, halved operations staff, and lowered total cost of ownership by 40%.
