Hitachi Data Services (HDS) said that it has introduced private cloud services and other improvements.
The private cloud services include consulting and transition services to companies and a cloud automation suite to its Unified Compute Platform, reference architectures with Cisco and data security capabilities for its Unified Storage.
The company said that the private cloud services use an open architecture with storage, compute and network layers; APIs; open interfaces; portals and global services.
It claims that using its private cloud services will bring customers savings, and is up 70 percent faster to deploy than traditional approaches.
HDS costs the materials by a pay-per-use model driven by service levels and including all hardware, software and services.
