Hitachi Vantara Unveils New Turnkey IoT Appliance

Hitachi Vantara, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd has unveiled a new appliance for internet of things (IoT) deployments; Hitachi IoT Appliance, powered by Lumada, Hitachi’s IoT platform.

Delivered as a turnkey system, the appliance’s “hyper-converged meets micro-services” architecture combines Hitachi’s best-in-class storage and compute with industry-leading networking technologies and comes fully integrated with Hitachi’s latest Lumada software. Hitachi IoT Appliance has been fully pre-architected and pre-validated to provide a plug-and-play solution that can be easily deployed and production-ready in under an hour. This gives users the ability to more rapidly connect, monitor and extract actionable insights from their business and industrial assets.

Hitachi IoT Appliance emerges as a solution that’s squarely all out to accelerate the time to Insight and Value of IoT Solution Deployments for Industrial and Commercial Enterprise Customers.

Designed to make it simple and intuitive for customers to put Lumada, Hitachi’s intelligent, composable and flexible IoT platform to work, Hitachi IoT Appliance can help users to get their IoT solution deployments up and running — fast. Users can more rapidly realise the benefits of Lumada’s advanced data blending and orchestration, artificial intelligence, machine learning and analytics capabilities, which help to rapidly gather and manage data for analysis and extract rich insights that support better business decision-making.

Hitachi IoT Appliance will generally be available later this year, wherever Lumada IoT Platform software is offered.
