The HEC system is created taking into account specifics of applications and combines the built-in directories of services and the specialized convergent platform, program services and solutions provided to HDS and partners of the company. HEC helps to cut down operating costs for IT and to accelerate deployment of private and hybrid cloud infrastructures. The Hitachi Enterprise Cloud system with VMware vRealize Suite is available to customers – uses the VMware vRealize Air Cloud Management Platform platform (CMP). This solution can be used as in the territory of the customer or out of the organization according to model of traditional acquisition, and in the form of the managed cloud solution with payment on the actual use or results.
Family of the solutions Hitachi Enterprise Cloud
All solutions Hitachi Enterprise Cloud combine possibilities of a public cloud and ease in use, providing access to cloud services via the corresponding portal. The functionality of a hybrid cloud is automatically unrolled in a private or public cloud environment along with business rules or regulations of the company.
Hitachi provides existence in a private cloud of the capacities necessary for satisfaction of peak business needs.

2018: Complex support of containers. Service classes
The Hitachi Vantara company, Hitachi Ltd. affiliated enterprise, announced on June 27, 2018 expansion of family of completely managed separate and hybrid cloud solutions of Hitachi Enterprise Cloud. Now it includes options of deployment of environments for cloud applicaions. Solutions allow to reduce terms of upgrade of the data processing centers (DPC).
Updating of HEC Container Platform
The Hitachi Enterprise Cloud (HEC) Container Platform platform opens possibilities of a public cloud for the organizations using services of work with data, the DevOps methods and architecture of microservices based on own infrastructure. This platform has additional function of deployment of endpoints of a public cloud and coordination between them.
The line of the solutions HEC supports cloud applicaions and the distributed services of data based on HEC Container Platform now and also the virtualized applications of VMware and the application working both on the physical equipment and on the existing HEC platform using means of VMware vRealize. Both solutions are provided in the form of completely managed environments with payment after delivery of use (pay-per-use). Solutions assume a possibility of sharing.
The public HEC Container Platform platform represents the complete solution which cornerstone the Datacenter Operating System operating system (DC/OS) developed by Mesosphere is. This operating system provides implementation, support and management of data of modern services, such as Spark, Kafka, Cassandra and HDFS. The platform includes functionality of coordination of the containers Kubernetes, Docker and Marathon at the expense of what the customer can unroll services Marathon and Kubernetes one mouse click. HEC Container Platform supports over one hundred DevOps methods and services of data that allows to reduce terms of deployment of the environment for cloud applicaions, told in Hitachi Vantara.
Service classes in the HEC family
According to developers, the redefined virtual units of capacity (virtual capacity units, VCU) provide to Hitachi Enterprise Cloud in combination with VMware vRealize more effective use of resources and offer the service class optimized for heavy loadings, such as SAP and Oracle. Units of capacity of containers (container capacity units, CCU) the HEC Container Platform platforms allow to optimize use of resources, to reduce costs and to make pricing more transparent.
Besides, now the solutions HEC can be unrolled in several cloud infrastructures and in several zones "from one window" using the uniform consolidated management structure. It reduces load of IT administrators and also reduces costs and risks at implementation of hybrid cloud solutions.
 | We continue to work on making the solutions Hitachi Enterprise Cloud more convenient for customers and less exacting to deployment process. It will give to our clients additional flexibility and higher extent of control over data — Bobby Soni, the director of solutions and services of Hitachi Vantara said. — The HEC Container Platform platform offered by us, first of all, helps developers of cloud applicaions and experts in the field of the DevOps methods. They have in the order functionality and the automation equipment which corresponds to progress level in the field of the services offered by the systems of hyper scaling of public cloud infrastructures. |  |
2017: Integration about VMware vRealize and the announcement of HEC Cloud Container
The Hitachi Vantara company, affiliated enterprise Hitachi, Ltd., announced on September 28, 2017 expansion of a complex of corporate cloud solutions Hitachi Enterprise Cloud for use the practician of DevOps and work with containers of applications. The updated solution is integrated with VMware vRealize Automation and provides the expanded choice of services for support of DevOps and work with containers at deployment of the hybrid cloud systems including intended for standard cloud computing architectures. Besides, the Hitachi Enterprise Cloud Container Platform platform provides the hybrid cloud resources for DevOps using architecture of microservices and also a full-function container as Wednesday for services.
Hitachi Enterprise Cloud с VMware vRealize
Proposes the solution of Hitachi Enterprise Cloud (HEC) with VMware vRealize 7.3 technology:
- Expanded support of DevOps and containers of applications — it allows business to automate processes of creation, deployment and management of hosts of containers and also to use cloud applicaions in service quality in scales of all infrastructure of the company even if it consists of the equipment of several producers and the different cloud systems.
- In advance designed templates of containers, including a full support of volumes with preserving of a status, the optimized network means of containers, hosts of containers and management of a repository of images.
- An opportunity for developers to optimize applications, using dynamic networks or microsegmentation, and for administrators — to manage infrastructure of container hosts on a basis the politician using agreements on the service levels.
HEC with VMware vRealize 7.3 provides interaction between administrators of the cloud systems and development teams during creation of traditional, containerized and hybrid applications. In turn, it simplifies rearrangement and refactoring of traditional applications, allowing business to use identical models of operation both for traditional, and for the applications placed in containers. The vRealize Automation 7.3 technology provides careful control of containers and the corresponding hosts for all their lifecycle. Such opportunity is useful in multiclient environment: business can manage easily containers under production conditions.
Hitachi Enterprise Cloud Container platform
Hitachi Enterprise Cloud Container Platform helps the companies to depend less on public cloud resources if they use the applications which are specially created for a cloud. The platform supports the hybrid cloud resources for DevOps using architecture of microservices with the full-function container platform and the ready environment like "container as service". This architecture integrates technologies of Hitachi with the Mesosphere DC/OS platform: solutions are closely integrated and provide to the user the "platform as service" interface, a subsystem of work with containers and also planning, coordinating and worker threads.
The technology offers more than 50 already configured container applications and also provides a possibility of creation of permanent storage system and a private repository. In advance designed environment allows developers to focus on creating applications, and offers specialists in operation of systems options of services of industrial level, the necessary companies when entering applications in production operation.
Availability
Both new managed the solutions Hitachi Enterprise Cloud are available to participants of the program of early implementation.
