Hitachi, Ltd. will strengthen its support for migration to cloud environments based on the results of a joint verification of a multi-cloud configuration for mission-critical business conducted with Oracle Japan Corporation. Specifically, the verification was conducted in terms of processing performance and availability for mission-critical business in a multi-cloud configuration of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Microsoft Azure, and it was confirmed that sufficient processing performance could be obtained for large-volume transaction processing, and that appropriate tuning methods were available according to the amount of data in batch processing. Hitachi will reflect this knowledge in its “Cloud & DX Offerings” that lead to problem solving through business innovation through modernization of business infrastructure and digital utilization, and will strengthen its support for migrating customers’ existing systems to optimal multi-cloud environments. The verification results will be made public on “Qiita” by the end of December this year.
In recent years, the use of cloud computing has become more prevalent in core systems to improve agility in response to changes in the business environment and to optimize costs, and an increasing number of companies are considering adopting multi-cloud, which combines a wide variety of services from different cloud vendors in the right places.While multi-cloud has many benefits, such as making it easy to select the appropriate service, ensuring business continuity, and optimizing costs, ensuring performance and reliability is an issue when using different cloud services that are physically separated as a single system.
Against this backdrop, Hitachi is supporting customers in migrating their mission-critical systems to the cloud by evaluating various databases to ensure stable operation. In addition, Oracle and Microsoft have been gradually expanding their secure, low-latency, private interconnection network between OCI and Azure, as well as services for seamless use of these networks, to the Japanese market since 2020.
