Hitachi Vantara has completed its acquisition of REAN Cloud a global cloud systems integrator, managed services provider and solutions developer of cloud-native applications across big data, machine learning and emerging internet of things (IoT).

To meet this challenge, the IT departments have to broker of IT-based services by blending traditional services with public and private cloud services or ‘hybrid IT.’”
Hitachi Vantara aims to address this gap with its new offerings, providing cloud migration and managed services that enable customers to operate across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure. 47Lining which was acquired by REAN Cloud last year gave deep capabilities in cloud-based analytics and machine learning that powerfully expand Hitachi Vantara’s ability to maximise data-driven value for its customers focused on vertical IoT solutions.
