Hitachi Data System celebrates 1000 customers
Hitachi Data Systems has acquired 1,000 customers from the communication, media and entertainment (CME) segment within three years.
"The 1000th customer is a milestone for the company"
confirms Andreas Schlecht, Sales Director Hitachi Data Systems Austria.
"The power of our solutions gives companies the right tools to create and deliver content - from cinema special effects and web streaming services to big data solutions for telecommunications companies."
Film and animation studios rely on HDS for the production of their content. For example, the animated film "Planet 51" was stored on Hitachi systems. High computing power is particularly important in this environment, so that the storage systems do not become a bottleneck in the areas of transcoding, rendering or streaming.
