Case Study: SureBridge IT achieves resilient, reliable cloud services with Hitachi Vantara

Hitachi Compute and Storage Platform Brings Resiliency and Reliability to SureBridge IT Cloud Services

Surebridge IT, a Brisbane-based managed services, hardware and maintenance specialist, wanted to expand into cloud services but needed a resilient, high‑density, and cost‑effective platform with local data residency and a pay‑as‑you‑use model. To meet that challenge it partnered with Hitachi Vantara, leveraging the vendor’s cloud and service provider division and Hitachi Compute Blade 500 and Hitachi Unified Storage 130 infrastructure.

Hitachi Vantara delivered a converged cloud solution and consumption‑based infrastructure that boosted performance, virtual server density and reliability while reducing Surebridge IT’s data‑center footprint and ensuring customer data stayed in Queensland. The Hitachi Vantara platform enabled faster market entry and new service offerings—with no upfront costs for clients—and helped drive measurable impact: about 15% business growth in 12 months and roughly 40% of Surebridge IT’s business now services‑based, allowing the company to serve more customers from less space.
