Hitachi Vantara announced a collaboration with Virtana to integrates the Virtana Platform suite with the Hitachi EverFlex infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) portfolio to deliver advanced consumption-based infrastructure solutions for workload management and hybrid cloud operations.
By integrating AI-driven insights with IaaS capabilities, Hitachi Vantara with Virtana streamlines operations and reduces costs, helping businesses enhance their cloud efficiency and agility while optimizing resource utilization and mitigating inefficiencies.
The next generation of the Hitachi EverFlex IaaS portfolio offers a comprehensive range of scalable and cost-efficient hybrid cloud solutions tailored to modern enterprises. A key capability of the advanced portfolio is EverFlex Control, which acts as a centralized software-as-a-service (SaaS) integration and management portal for comprehensive infrastructure management. The tool provides real-time data visibility and automates scaling, enabling organizations to optimize costs while managing their IT operations efficiently. By combining the capabilities of EverFlex Control with the Virtana Platform's AI-powered insights, customers gain a holistic view of their hybrid infrastructure. The integration enables adaptive scaling and automation, allowing businesses to better navigate the complexities of their hybrid cloud environments.
"The Virtana Platform is a perfect complement to our EverFlex Control offering," said Jeb Horton, senior vice president of global services at Hitachi Vantara. "Their intelligent capabilities and deep infrastructure expertise provide the insights required to enhance and automate IT infrastructure, delivering exceptional value to our clients and partners."
The collaboration between Hitachi Vantara and Virtana offers customers a range of benefits:
- IT Infrastructure Efficiency and Cost Optimization: Leveraging AI-enabled data to identify inefficiencies, reduce costs, and maximize ROI.
- Advanced Observability: Providing extensive coverage of diverse infrastructure types, making it a comprehensive solution that meets a wide range of needs in the market.

The collaboration with Virtana significantly enhances the Hitachi EverFlex portfolio. Earlier this year, Hitachi Vantara launched a new generation of advanced IaaS solutions designed to streamline IT operations and reduce costs through AI-driven automation. The new iteration of Hitachi EverFlex is focused on providing enterprises with scalable, flexible, and cost-efficient hybrid cloud solutions to meet their evolving IT needs. Additionally, Hitachi Vantara established a partnership with Cisco to further strengthen the capabilities of the offering, ensuring organizations can seamlessly integrate, optimize, and secure their hybrid cloud environments with networking and compute solutions.
