Customers are increasingly having to more closely align their IT organizations to their businesses, in order to better cope with the constant onslaught of data growth and to be better positioned for 3rd platform technologies in cloud, Big Data and mobile solutions. This tighter alignment between the business and IT is something HDS calls Business Defined IT.


At the foundation of Business Defined IT, leading organizations are deploying a continuous infrastructure, which makes data available at the right place, time and cost. The HDS approach is a service-level-oriented protection scheme that balances the cost of protection with the business needs for data availability – whether it’s number of copies, location of copies, or frequency of copies. This acquisition better enables us to help our customers reduce the cost of protection, enable more data to be protected against disaster, and offer greater flexibility in where or how it is protected.


Customers will now have access to the combined strength of HDS’ market-leading solutions and services with Sepaton’s enterprise proven data protection – giving IT organizations peace of mind that their most valuable asset (their data) will be stored, protected and managed on the best infrastructure on the planet.


Sepaton and HDS have partnered for many years, and have a number of mutual customers who have experienced the power of the combined solutions.


With the addition of Sepaton, HDS customers have access to one of the broadest portfolios of data protection solutions in the industry. HDS can address customer pain-points with the most effective technology; whether disk-based deduplication or data instance management, HDS has a solution that best solves the customer’s problem.


And finally, these new offerings will enable customers to easily harness the power of deduplication without making radical changes to their computing environment. For example, unique and patented Sepaton deduplication technology can squeeze up to 25TB of data into only 1TB of storage.
