Frequently Asked Questions

Sustainability at Hitachi Vantara is not an add-on, it’s an engineering and business imperative. By embedding energy-efficient design into platforms like VSP One, and validating them through ENERGY STAR® and SuMPO EPD certifications, we ensure that our sustainability solutions are built into every layer of infrastructure. This complements broader initiatives like EverFlex’s pay-per-use model, which avoids overprovisioning and aligns IT consumption with actual need, reinforcing both Green IT goals and cost control.

Modernization is about speed, but it’s also about smart scaling. From EverFlex Infrastructure as a Service, which lets businesses right-size their IT footprint, to Integrated Systems Solutions that unify operations across hybrid environments, Hitachi’s portfolio is engineered to consolidate and optimize workloads. These technologies reduce unnecessary energy consumption and physical overhead while improving visibility into data usage, which turns sustainability solutions into a lever for modernization.

Through Hitachi’s diagnostics and sustainability advisory services, organizations gain deep insights into data sprawl, inefficiencies, and underutilized resources. This is critical when combined with solutions like Ops Center Clear Sight and Virtual Storage Platform One, which offer observability, automation, and lifecycle intelligence to continually refine operations. The result is a more efficient data center sustainability framework with measurable reductions in energy draw, emissions, and cooling costs.

As IT shifts closer to the edge and across hybrid clouds, sustainability becomes harder to manage. Hitachi addresses this with orchestration and policy automation via EverFlex Control Extension, and by ensuring energy efficiency applies to all deployment types: on-prem, edge, and hosted. This end-to-end visibility and control ensures that even distributed environments follow sustainability solutions best practices.

Hitachi Vantara turns sustainability into strategic advantage. Reduced energy costs, extended hardware lifecycles, and guaranteed performance SLAs mean organizations can fund innovation with savings. Whether you’re targeting CO₂ reductions (up to 96%), data reduction (4:1), or better operational alignment, Hitachi transforms data center sustainability from a compliance checkbox into a competitive edge.
