Hitachi Vantara’s VSP systems provide customers with a simplified and unified storage management and protection experience. This combines with AI-powered software tools in the Hitachi Ops Center to drive efficiencies and reduce the bottom line.

Using data to solve big problems
A recent blog by John Magee, Head of Marketing for Hitachi Vantara, contends that organizations with data-driven strategies are leading markets, transforming industries, predicting the future, and safeguarding society and the environment. The fight against COVID-19 is a case in point, with data analytics being used effectively for everything from monitoring cases and understanding the impact on customer behaviour to predicting changes to the supply chain and refining operations to accommodate outbreaks.
Tech Data supports the growing ecosystem of Hitachi Vantara partners with competencies in big data analytics solutions and services. Partner Connect, a self-service, mobile-friendly, partner portal offers real-time access to valuable information to encourage marketers to identify new accounts, set appointments, and create approved deal registrations. As an added incentive, representatives earn rewards throughout the sales cycle with programs such as Brain-n-Gain, a two-tiered assessment structure that uses gift cards to encourage them to validate competencies and increase their value in the marketplace.
“The global Tech Data and Hitachi Vantara partnership provides business solutions, expert data analytics, and dedicated sales resources that help partners instill brand preference, increase revenue, and grow their market share,” says Neal. “Thanks to our track record of working collaboratively, entering and excelling in high-growth technology markets is not only simple, but it’s also affordable.”
