China Southern Fund Accelerates Its Growth With Storage and Content Solutions From Hitachi Vantara

China Southern Asset Management Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese fund manager, faced rapidly growing volumes of unstructured data, rising storage costs and strict fund-industry requirements for high I/O performance, low latency and active‑active disaster recovery. To meet these challenges it engaged Hitachi Vantara for an enterprise storage and content solution, including Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (all‑flash with FMD modules), Hitachi Content Platform, Hitachi Data Ingestor and professional implementation and management services.

Hitachi Vantara deployed VSP all‑flash arrays (F1500/G600 with flash modules), HCP and HDI, delivering sub‑millisecond latency, built‑in 2:1 compression and random read/write performance exceeding 1 million IOPS (16k). The solution provided 100% data availability and compliance for unstructured and backup data, enabled big‑data readiness, and cut flash storage operational costs by about 50%, while Hitachi Vantara’s services ensured smooth implementation and ongoing support.
