Frequently Asked Questions
EverFlex Scale is a flexible capacity on demand model that combines an initial system, together with an additional Hitachi provided flexible buffer that allows your business to to flex and scale as you need. You purchase the the initial system, and can also access the additional buffer capacity as you need, without waiting for new hardware orders or contract changes. You only pay for the buffer capacity when it is consumed helping you to grow and scale whilst keeping costs prdictable. Additional capacity can also be purchased at any time.
EverFlex Scale eliminates the need to buy excess capacity upfront “just in case.” Instead of over‑investing in unused storage, you maintain a right‑sized baseline with a pre‑approved expansion buffer. This reduces capital tied up in idle resources while ensuring capacity is immediately available when demand increases—so performance and availability are never at risk.
Yes, EverFlex Scale is specifically designed for organisations that want to retain ownership and control of their systems, but also need some flexibility to handle unplanned growth and future expansion while also keeping in control of their budgets. The initial system can either be purchased outright or leased from Hitachi, while the Hitachi provided on demand buffer allows you to flex and scale as you need. Payments can be tailored to meet your budgets and cash flow needs. This approach avoids new tenders, allows you to handle unexpeted growth and avoid emergency budget approvals and new contracts.
EverFlex Scale is built on the VSP One platform and includes enterprise‑grade guarantees for availability and performance. With capacity always available, customers avoid downtime, performance degradation, and procurement delays when workloads grow. Optional services such as monitoring, reporting, and lifecycle support further reduce operational risk and improve long‑term reliability.
EverFlex Scale can easily be combined with our Modern Strorage Assurance Program which enables you to future proof your Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform by adding next generation technologies without data migrations – this is done by including a future upgrade to our next generation technology with new capabilities and features, without the need for disruptive data migrations so you can focus on running your business.
