Today Hitachi Data Systems unveiled the next phase of its Social Innovation Strategy. HDS believes its Social Innovation Strategy will make societies safer, smarter, and healthier. HDS is also announcing new solutions and services to go along with its Social Innovation Strategy. These solutions and services include: Hitachi Live Insight for IT Operations, Hitachi Clinical Repository for connected health, and Hitachi Live Insight Center of Excellence.

In order to bolster its Social Innovation and analytics portfolio, HDS has made several acquisitions over the past year including Avrio, oXya, Pantascene, Sepaton, and Pentaho. HDS is now better positioned to extract deeper insights and value from the data collected. Now HDS’s Social Innovation initiative can address both business and society challenges including population growth and urbanization, aging public infrastructures and populations, rising healthcare costs and public safety concerns. HDS is leveraging its data infrastructure technologies and smart analytics software foundation to develop purpose-built solutions for a variety of markets. These solutions combine the Internet of Things with operational technology, and IT infrastructure all in a unified, fully integrated stack.

The new solutions include:

  • Hitachi Live Insight for IT Operations: A cloud-based M2M analytics solution designed to help customers achieve optimal performance and availability from their IT infrastructure, and gain operational intelligence at the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO). Hitachi Live Insight for IT Operations enables users to analyze all the machine data in their data center—from enterprise applications and data storage, to power distribution units and temperature sensors—to detect and identify the root cause of data center outages. Customers can also benefit from a new analytics accelerator service, which employs a five-step approach that leverages data acquisition, mapping and interpretation, predictive modeling, and data processing and retrieval tools, such as Hadoop and NoSQL, to gain actionable insights and drive business-level results.
  • Hitachi Clinical Repository (HCR) for Connected Health: A newly enhanced release of HCR, expanded to support connected health with secure mobile access. HCR for connected health empowers healthcare professionals with sophisticated data analytics, tools and proven delivery methods that let them adapt better to societal changes and increase strategic decision-making to optimize patient care. Built on Hitachi Content Platform technology, HCR provides a multipurpose data repository where all clinical and nonclinical data can be stored, backed up, preserved and retrieved on a single, integrated platform. By aggregating data from previously siloed applications, HCR makes patient records and health information shareable and discoverable across multiple caregivers, ensuring they have real time insights into prescriptions, treatment plans and more.
  • Hitachi Live Insight Center of Excellence: Planned to offer best of breed services, consulting and industry best practices, Hitachi Live Insight Center of Excellence is designed to help organizations confidently and swiftly test, customize and deploy advanced data analytics solutions, applications, platforms, and integrated solutions to support new business initiatives. Offering a single point of coordination across various Hitachi and third-party resources, customers can leverage Hitachi Live Insight Center of Excellence to:
    • Develop precise big data strategies and analytics roadmaps with expert-led workshops that explore opportunities and clarify business impact.
    • Tailor Social Innovation solutions to address their specific goals and industry dynamics, based on deep domain and operational experience.
    • Deliver greater business value, faster, with more predictable results by using a proven team known for seamless deployments.

These new solutions also help to augment and upgrade HDS’s existing solutions including Hitachi Visualization for Public Safety (a solution that helps law enforcement by integrating data from cameras, sensors, emergency dispatch, and social media; the solution will now have predictive analytics capabilities) and Hitachi Live Insight for Telecom (real-time insight for network analysis). Hitachi Data Systems plans on aggressively building its analytics footprint throughout the rest of 2015 with plans to introduce even more new solutions and services for things like connected cars and connected energy.
