Thank you. We will contact you shortly.
Hitachi Vantara’s partner community is a bedrock of our business, a strategic enabler to delivering meaningful business outcomes to customers through our best-in-class technologies. So today I’m excited to announce a powerful new solution for midsize enterprises with the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) E990 with Hitachi Ops Center.
I’ll just say that this new solution dramatically lowers costs for midsize enterprises and simplifies their data infrastructure management. It has industry-leading deduplication to reduce storage costs and AI-enhanced management tools to radically simplify storage provisioning. And though its trusted performance is built on Hitachi’s decades-long leadership in IT and reputation for quality, it won’t break the bank for customers.
We’re also announcing new consumption and financing options under a new program named EverFlex from Hitachi Vantara to make pricing predictable for cloud-like storage usage. One of the big advantages is budget efficiency that reduces costs by 20%.
More to the point for our partners around the world: Today’s announcement expands and strengthens your ability to guide customers to greater success.
Predictable, Profitable, Pioneering
This new solution adds to our family of offerings for midsize enterprises and enhances our partner program to help you build your business. We see three vital elements that give you what you need now and what you will want next. We believe they make Hitachi easy to do business with and help you grow:
- Predictable: Choose from proven, future-proof offerings as part of an integrated portfolio that is both simpler and more powerful. We apply open standards to integrate third parties and assure repeatability at your customers’ sites.
- Profitable: Select from our catalog of IP and services that uses automation tools to give you repeatable, efficient ways to extend your touch points and increase value to your customers.
- Pioneering: Extend your relevance by aligning technology and business outcomes. We want to help you up-level IT to an innovation center for your customers.
Enablement, Marketing, Incentives
If you are already one of our authorized partners, you can find full program details and resources on Partner Connect, including webinars, training, our Partner Marketing Hub, online labs, configurations and our services catalog. But here are a few highlights of how we’re helping you and your customers succeed:
- Enablement: We offer a digital selling platform with technical and business tools that provide pricing guidance, deal registration and a streamlined partner quote process that helps you deliver value to your customers more quickly than ever.
- Marketing: We’ve developed marketing campaigns tied to strategic sales plays and marketing development funds (MDF) to help drive pipeline. Of course our Partner Marketing Hub remains a valuable destination to help you drive demand and grow your business faster. All of this helps you expand engagement with your customers and apply the full power of our ecosystem of partners and other experts.
- Incentives: We know midsize enterprises comprise a large market for our partners, so we’ve also developed incentives and rebates to help accelerate revenue and profitability.
Resell, Deliver, Manage, Create
I’m excited to add these new midsize enterprise solutions to our portfolio and partner program support – making it simpler and more powerful to help meet your business goals. Choose your delivery and engagement model, whether it’s to resell, deliver, manage or create.
