Hitachi Data Systems highlights their recent acquisitions and the transition of activity into the Internet of Things
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Sep. 9, 2015 – Hitachi
Data Systems Corporation (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi,
Ltd. (TSE: 6501), today announced its participation at the Middle East’s
GITEX Technology Week taking place from October 18-22, 2015.
During
the event, Hitachi will discuss its rapidly expanding Social Innovation
solutions in the Middle East following its strategic acquisitions with
oXya, Pantascene and Pentaho.
The
company will continue to expand its footprint in the Middle East with
Internet of Things (IoT), operational technologies (OT), Machine 2
Machine (M2M) and big data analytics markets.
“Digitization
and smart cities rank high on the Middle East’s agenda, as they look
for more energy efficient and cost effective, ‘smart’ solutions – for
buildings, healthcare and utilities industries. This means increasing
amounts of data that need to be managed in critical circumstances.
Hitachi Data System’s Social Innovation solutions deliver on the full
promise of the Internet of Things that matter by helping
businesses to derive rich insights from their data with faster time to
value, and supporting the development of smarter, safer, healthier and
more efficient societies,” says Aaron White, General Manager of Hitachi
Data Systems, Middle East and Pakistan.
Also
at GITEX, HDS will discuss how big data analytics solutions help
organizations in the Middle East transform vast quantities of structured
and unstructured data from disparate sources into knowledge through the
application of advanced data analytics, connected intelligence from IoT
devices and operational technologies (OT).
"IoT
isn’t just about ‘big’ data – it’s also about small data that drives
big outcomes," said Vernon Turner, IDC senior vice president of
Enterprise Systems and IDC Fellow for The Internet of Things. "Hitachi
Data Systems recognizes that distinction, and is building a robust
analytics framework that uniquely combines Hitachi’s formidable
industrial, societal and business expertise with its rich portfolio of
data infrastructure and analytics solutions. The Pentaho platform
provides a key unifying element that complements HDS’ OT and IT heritage
and will pave the way for new innovations in the company’s IoT,
analytics and Social Innovation solution portfolios."
Hitachi Data Systems will be in Hall 6 Stand no. MAC 6 -35.
