The challenge

As a global technology manufacturer, Hitachi Cable needed to modernise its IT infrastructure to support its expanding operations and improve efficiency. It required a virtualisation solution that would provide flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and scalability while maintaining the reliability essential for its manufacturing operations. The challenge was determining the right virtualisation approach and technology stack that would deliver both immediate benefits and long-term strategic value for global operations.

The solution

Leveraging our long-term partnership and deep understanding of the business, we provided expert guidance through the virtualisation journey. Our technical team conducted comprehensive workshops to clearly define the current situation and design the optimal virtualisation solution.

Through detailed “whiteboard sessions” and follow-up consultations, we developed a solution built on Dell Servers and EqualLogic storage hardware, utilising VMware virtualisation software and Symantec Backup Exec. This carefully selected technology stack was designed specifically to meet performance, reliability, and scalability requirements.

We developed a comprehensive proposal detailing the present situation and highlighting the specific benefits the new virtual infrastructure would deliver, ensuring complete clarity on the transformation’s value.

The outcome

The new virtual infrastructure delivered exceptional results at every level. The success was attributed to the extensive planning and technical expertise we provided throughout the project. Hitachi Cable now operates a flexible and cost-effective infrastructure without limitations, perfect for testing new applications and supporting rollouts across its global operations.
