Case Study: Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine achieves campus-wide private cloud storage and improved performance with Hitachi Vantara

Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine - Customer Case Study

Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine faced an overtaxed storage architecture as campus systems and research generated massive data, risking capacity shortages and potential data loss. To move its big data to a secure private cloud, the university selected Hitachi Vantara and deployed Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and Hitachi Unified Storage 130 (with Hitachi Universal Volume Manager and HDS implementation services) to consolidate and virtualize campus storage.

Hitachi Vantara implemented a unified, virtualized private cloud storage platform with centralized management, tiered storage (Tier 1/Tier 2), real-time mirroring and scheduled snapshots to protect core applications and enable online capacity adjustments. The deployment delivered claimed 100% availability for core devices, noticeably higher end-user satisfaction among teachers and students, dramatically improved application efficiency, and simplified storage maintenance and allocation across campus.
