Hitachi Vantara, a company that specializes in data storage, infrastructure, and hybrid cloud management, has announced an innovative partnership with NVIDIA to develop a new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. This collaboration will result in a portfolio of solutions called Hitachi iQ, designed to accelerate the process of generating AI-driven results by integrating industry-specific capabilities with existing AI solutions. By combining NVIDIA’s AI leadership with Hitachi Vantara’s expertise in hybrid cloud infrastructure solutions, the partnership will help customers tackle future challenges and establish a solid foundation for data-driven innovation.
Emerging data-intensive technologies such as generative AI are driving business transformation but also putting pressure on IT environments. A recent report indicates that only a third of companies believe they can always handle internal demand for AI workloads. The partnership between Hitachi Vantara and NVIDIA aims to address these challenges by introducing hybrid cloud-enabled AI capabilities to speed up the acquisition of business insights.
Hitachi iQ solutions, based on NVIDIA’s latest AI technologies and Hitachi Vantara’s cutting-edge storage platforms, aim to meet market demands and facilitate digital transformation for enterprises. Customers can choose the most suitable consumption model to ensure optimized performance and a strong return on investment. The first product in the Hitachi iQ portfolio, powered by NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs, is set to launch in the first quarter of Hitachi’s fiscal year beginning in April 2024. This solution, a certified NVIDIA DGX BasePOD, will include NVIDIA DGX H100 systems and NVIDIA software AI Enterprise, providing a new AI-powered architecture for handling complex AI workloads.
As part of a broader collaboration with NVIDIA, Hitachi will focus on creating industry-specific generative AI models tailored to Operational Technology (OT). This effort positions Hitachi as a leading developer of these specialized models to help businesses adapt to the demands of data-driven digital transformation. With its network of partners and subsidiaries at its disposal, Hitachi iQ will be central to leveraging the full potential of AI in driving business improvement.
The emergence of advanced analytics tools has become crucial for businesses looking to gain insights from their data quickly and efficiently. However, this trend is putting increasing pressure on IT environments as they struggle to cope with large volumes of data being generated every day.
To address these challenges head-on, many organizations are turning towards hybrid cloud architectures that combine both public and private clouds. In this context, hitachivantara has partnered with nvidia to create innovative ai solutions that can handle complex workloads while ensuring optimal performance.
