File data accounts for more than 80% of storage. File servers and NAS appliances require costly management of protection, performance, migrations and scale. Hitachi Content Platform Anywhere edge model gives you a modern private or hybrid cloud alternative to those traditional file services.
Modernize and Simplify
Sync files from edge to core, where they are stored, managed and properly governed.
Protect and Recover
Protect data from remote offices. Easily recover from user error, device failures or malware.
Control Data Costs
Frequently used data is kept at the edge, and lesser-used data is accessed from the core, as needed.
ThinkOn, Spin Master
Our clients use this solution for MAS five-server services.
The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used for manually attaching storage.
There is room for improvement in the administration of the users' files and information.
As for additional features, I would like to see a tool that could easily handle the migration from the five servers to the new platform.
My company has been partnered with this solution since 2016.
The solution is stable.
The solution is scalable. We have one specialist for deployment and maintenance.
There is a good technical support team for the solution. I would rate them a five out of five.
Positive
The setup of the solution is difficult and complicated. Deployment takes about one week.
The ROI is good. I would say it takes about two years to see the return.
I think the most important thing to consider is the complexity of the organization's distribution of user data. For example, some organizations have three, four, five, or more servers, so it's most important to think about how they are going to handle the migration of those servers to HCP Anywhere Edge.
I would rate this solution as a nine out of ten.
