The Hitachi Content Platform is a virtualized distributed object store with advanced storage and data management capabilities that help IT organizations address a number of challenges posed by the ever-growing volume of unstructured data. The Hitachi Content Platform can be divided into a number of virtual content platforms, each of which can be uniquely configured for a particular workload. This allows IT to manage a single infrastructure that supports a wide range of data types, applications and users, each of which get the specific level of service they need, no more storage silos.

The Hitachi Content Platform also excels at preserving data for long periods of time. Whether for legal, compliance, business or IT practices, the Hitachi Content Platform employs key technologies such as data integrity checking, RAID6, replication, encryption, WORM, audit logging and more to ensure that data remains accessible and in its original form for years, decades and beyond. Because data in the Hitachi Content Platform is exceptionally well protected and always available, the traditional process of backing up data to tape is no longer necessary allowing IT organizations to dramatically reduce or even eliminate traditional backups of unstructured data, no more tape-based backups.
