Hitachi Vantara has launched a new generation of its infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) service, Hitachi EverFlex. This innovative service is designed to simplify and improve IT operations, managing diverse and distributed infrastructures through advanced automation and flexible service options.
And with growing interest from businesses in hybrid cloud environments to meet their diverse IT needs, there is a trend toward consumption-based models that offer greater agility, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and greater simplified operations management.
“Hitachi EverFlex offers organizations the ability to scale resources and achieve the efficiencies that businesses require,” said Antonio Espuela, Director Technical Sales EMEA Western at Hitachi Vantara. “What sets this offering apart is its ability to seamlessly integrate with existing IT environments, regardless of vendor, facilitating a more seamless transition to hybrid cloud operating models and ensuring organizations can innovate without being limited by obsolete infrastructure.

The new portfolio of services helps organizations address major IT challenges through a consumption-based model that aligns costs with actual business usage. This approach not only reduces upfront capital expenditures, but also ensures that IT costs are directly tied to business needs.
