Hitachi Data Systems announces converged infra solutions for Oracle Database 12c

Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., announced a new portfolio of converged infrastructure and software solutions for Oracle Database 12c environments. These solutions, which include Hitachi UCP 6000 for Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) and Hitachi Database Infrastructure Evaluation Tool (DIET) help lower the total cost of Oracle RAC 12c infrastructure through optimizing hardware resources, streamlining operations and accelerating the migration to cloud-based business. These new solutions, combined with Pentaho’s data integration, visualization, and analytics capabilities enable organizations to quickly unlock valuable insights from all data including those contained within critical applications like SAP Business Warehouse and Oracle E-Business Suite.

Hitachi DIET is a utility that helps customers improve Oracle database performance and increase utilization of the underlying storage, compute and network infrastructure. DIET provides a detailed graphical analysis and expert recommendations on how to address areas within an Oracle Database environment that often lead to significant reductions in capital and operational expenses as well as improved performance. DIET is a powerful way to streamline existing infrastructure and kick-start the transformation to the cloud and a real-time data-driven enterprise.

“Hitachi Data Systems has built a simple, yet powerful, web-based utility to quickly and effectively identify issues found in Oracle databases,” said Nik Rouda, Senior Analyst at ESG. “With DIET, HDS can provide deep analysis of a customer’s actual Oracle environment, then use those results and their decades of hands-on experience to provide clear recommendations which are tailored specifically to them. DIET can even diagnose issues with other vendor’s hardware.”
