Data storage, infrastructure, and hybrid cloud management firm Hitachi Vantara has announced its latest movement in enhancing the EverFlex infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) portfolio to serve the IT operations of its clients better.
As more organizations shift towards hybrid cloud environments to meet their varying IT needs, there’s a growing preference for consumption-based models that offer greater flexibility, reduced total cost of ownership (TCO), and simplified operations management. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global IaaS market is forecasted to grow from $156.93 billion in 2024 to $738.11 billion by 2032, fueled by the need for scalable, cost-effective IT solutions and increased cloud adoption. Hitachi EverFlex addresses these needs with adaptable IaaS offerings that use AI to boost efficiency and quick decision-making.
The service portfolio helps businesses overcome major IT challenges through a consumption-based approach that aligns costs with actual usage, minimizing upfront capital expenses and ensuring IT spending is tied to business requirements. With hyper-automation and AI-driven insights, organizations can quickly diagnose and resolve IT issues before they escalate, improving workflows and overall productivity. Additionally, these advanced services enhance security and help close skills gaps, allowing companies to focus on strategic goals while benefiting from Hitachi Vantara’s trusted expertise and dependable support.
