In today’s digital economy,
the right data strategy
separates those who succeed
from those who fall behind.
But to transform into a more
sophisticated digital business,
you must maximize the
performance and resilience
of the databases and
infrastructure that manage
and protect your data.

Data growth typically forces IT organizations into a vicious cycle of constantly adding more servers, storage and software in an attempt to keep up. Adding new systems increases costs for both hardware and software, support, maintenance and licenses. The only way to reverse this cycle is to improve efficiency: Lower the cost to operate your Oracle environment while simultaneously delivering business benefits, such as increased agility and an accelerated time-to-market.
HDS can help you strike this balance by optimizing and modernizing your infrastructure. With Hitachi infrastructure solutions, you can:
• Optimize the infrastructure footprint necessary to run your Oracle workloads with Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) and achieve the cost and time savings of a converged system.
• Minimize the need for additional server capacity and licenses with solutions like all-flash Hitachi UCP 6000 for Oracle Database and Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) F series storage systems.
• Evolve from a capital expenditure (capex) intensive IT model to a flexible opex model. This pay-for-use approach can be achieved with Hitachi cloud infrastructure solutions for Oracle, powered by Oracle Database 12c, Oracle Linux, Oracle VM and Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c.
Test Drive Our Database Assessment Tool for Deeper Insights
Database Infrastructure Evaluation Tool (DIET) from Hitachi Data Systems helps you look into your current infrastructure performance and utilization. More than 2,000 companies have used this assessment tool to identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks: They receive and get specific guidance tailored to their Oracle environments on how to optimize their infrastructure utilization by “right sizing” compute, storage and network resources.
Create a Bigger Business Impact While Reducing Costs
Cost Reduction Strategies
• Assess actual database
performance and infrastructure
utilization requirements.
• Move to all-flash storage to
increase performance and reduce
footprint.
• Reduce infrastructure footprint to
save on hardware and software
maintenance, support and
licensing, in addition to energy
consumption.
• Leverage private cloud for
predictable operating
expenditure (opex).
• Lower IT operations costs with
automation and simplified
infrastructure management.

Your business can move only as fast as the IT infrastructure that supports it. To get new products and services to market, you can no longer afford lengthy turnaround times associated with provisioning and configuring storage, compute and other resources.
Instead, meet business demands and deploy resources as needed. With Hitachi solutions you can:
• Compress configuration and provisioning times from weeks to minutes with cloud-ready solutions optimized for Oracle Database, Oracle E-Business Suite and many other enterprise applications.
• Eliminate deployment time and set up challenges involved in IT resource provisioning with Hitachi UCP 6000 for Oracle Database, a pre-integrated, converged system of storage, server, compute and management software that deploys in minutes.
• Simplify and automate management of your Oracle environment with a software-defined infrastructure. Hitachi solutions transform your IT operations with unified management, data protection and advanced analytics to ensure you’re always running at peak performance.
The Power of Hitachi Adapters
A tightly integrated portfolio of adapters for your Oracle infrastructure helps you simplify management so you can reduce the burden on IT staff and free up resources to work on more strategic projects. Hitachi adapters enhance, extend and simplify many administrative and operational tasks.
Increase Speed and Business Agility
Strategies to Increase Business Agility
• Align IT service delivery to
business needs.
• Leverage integrated and pre-
built cloud-ready infrastructure
solutions to reduce
implementation times.
• Automate IT operations such as
configuration and provisioning
across your IT infrastructure.

Today’s data-driven businesses depend on mission-critical applications running in your Oracle environment. Data protection is critical. Having the agility and flexibility of a public cloud environment is attractive, but not at the expense of application downtime, data loss or security breaches.
Hitachi solutions for Oracle environments deliver the benefits your business needs without compromise:
• Ensure your Oracle databases and critical applications are working smoothly with modern and holistic data protection solutions from Hitachi that orchestrate backups and recovery. Receive alerts that proactively help you resolve issues and prevent outages before they occur with Hitachi Data Instance Director (HDID) and global-active device.
• Recover data quickly should an outage occur with Hitachi Adapter for Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN).
• Increase the reliability of your Oracle infrastructure by implementing a data protection solution that you can validate and test for full data recovery.
• Ensure availability of your data with our 100% data availability guarantee for Hitachi Virtual Storage Platforms.
Private Cloud Solutions for Oracle Environments
Our pre-integrated, validated private cloud solution offers the speed and value of the public cloud, coupled with the control and security of your own data center. Hitachi data protection solutions for Oracle environments simplify operations while providing continuous data and operational recovery. At the same time, Hitachi can reduce storage, server and networking risks with incremental backups, compression and deduplication. And with Hitachi solutions, such as HDID and global-active device, you can protect your Oracle environment with flexible, automated policies and achieve nonstop data access.
Protect the Data That Powers Your Business
Strategies to Lower Business Risks
• Leverage private cloud solutions
for increased security, speed and
control.
• Orchestrate backup, recovery and
retention with business-defined
workflows.
• Proactively identify issues and
ensure data recovery with data
protection solutions.
