Hitachi and Microsoft join hands via Cloud OS Accelerate Program 
To transform the data center and accelerate hybrid and private cloud adoption, Hitachi Data Systems Corporation has announced a joint initiative with Microsoft and select channel and System Integrator partners by offering substantial incentives for customers who deploy new Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) Select for Microsoft Private Cloud. This new program has started from July 1, 2013 and will end on July 1, 2014.
The program aligns with Microsoft’s Cloud OS Accelerate Program, which provides funds to help customers offset the services cost of deploying Microsoft private and hybrid cloud solutions, accelerates deals, and helps drive competitive wins.
As announced earlier this year at MMS (Microsoft Management Summit) 2013, Hitachi UCP Select for Microsoft Private Cloud solutions have been validated for Microsoft’s Private Cloud Fast Track architecture, version 3. The Hitachi converged infrastructure combines Hitachi compute and Hitachi storage with industry-leading virtualization capabilities and best-of-breed networking.
Takeshi Numoto, Corporate VP, Server and Tools Marketing, Microsoft, said, “We are excited to work with Hitachi Data Systems to help our joint customers deploy robust Microsoft private cloud solutions and realize the benefits of Microsoft’s Cloud OS vision.”
“Customers can be up and running in days instead of months and realize a significant increase in time to value with our solutions for Microsoft private cloud. Together, we and our channel and SI partners provide incentives to help customers migrate, deploy and manage enterprise applications and workloads on their very own Microsoft private cloud,” said Asim Zaheer, Sr. Vice-President, Worldwide Marketing, Hitachi Data Systems.
