Case Study: Gijima achieves faster, more efficient storage performance with Hitachi Vantara

Gijima Delights Clients with High-Performing, Sustainable Solutions from Hitachi

Gijima, a leading South African ICT company, needed to refresh aging storage infrastructure in its Tier-3 data center while improving performance, manageability, and client service without disrupting customer systems. It turned to Hitachi Vantara and its storage platform and migration tools, including Hitachi VSP arrays, Hitachi Storage Virtualization Operating System RF, and Hitachi Ops Center.

Hitachi Vantara enabled Gijima to migrate to new all-flash storage arrays with near-zero downtime for most clients, while also simplifying administration and analytics with Hitachi Ops Center. The results included faster mainframe batch processing, sub-millisecond response times for open systems applications, a 66% reduction in power, cooling, and rack space, and a 25% reduction in data footprint, helping Gijima grow more cost-effectively and sustainably.
