Case Study: Guizhou Radio & TV University achieves secure, scalable hybrid cloud education and $280K+ savings with Hitachi Vantara (Hitachi Content Platform)

Guizhou Radio & TV University Takes Education Into the Cloud With Hitachi Content Platform

Guizhou Radio & TV University, a multi‑campus institution with an extensive online education network, needed to manage rapidly growing volumes of unstructured data (documents, audio and video) while overcoming limited upstream bandwidth, interoperability issues and a lack of enterprise‑class data protection. The university engaged Hitachi Vantara, deploying Hitachi Content Platform with Hitachi Vantara Infrastructure Services (storage implementation and data migration) and partner support from Sichuan Changhong IT Information Products to address these challenges.

Hitachi Vantara implemented a hybrid cloud architecture using Hitachi Content Platform on‑premises integrated to public cloud resources, enabling fast intranet uploads, asynchronous distribution to the cloud CDN, and automatic failover to local copies for high availability. The solution standardized backup and protection, improved disaster recovery, accelerated application delivery by 25%, delivered a fully redundant hybrid environment, supported petabyte‑scale growth, and is expected to save more than $280K over five years.
