Hitachi Content Platform Anywhere Wins "Best Mobile Cloud Solution"

Santa Clara, CA – 27 January 2015 – Hitachi Data Systems has been named a winner in the 2014-2015 Cloud Awards Program for the Best in Mobile Cloud Solution category. HDS was nominated for its Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) Anywhere offering.

Built end-to-end by Hitachi Data Systems, HCP Anywhere is the most secure, simple and smart sync-and-share collaboration solution on the market. HCP Anywhere is a powerful enterprise mobility application and the only truly private sync and share solution on the market. It maintains all aspects of data sharing, content security, and workflow in a fully on-premise, IT-controlled environment. It supports Bring Your Own Device initiatives and it improves better collaboration among users, and increases productivity. End users simply save a file to their HCP Anywhere folder and it automatically synchronizes to all of their registered devices, becoming available via popular Web browsers.

First introduced to the market in 2013, HCP Anywhere uses the Hitachi Content Platform as its core storage repository. This enables organizations to deliver IT-sanctioned, secure and cost-effective file sync and share tools to their employees and eliminate the risks associated with using consumer solutions for corporate data. The solution is available globally.

"To be shortlisted this year was an incredible honor against such a roll-call of excellent products," said Tanya Loughlin, director, content and mobility, Hitachi Data Systems. "For Hitachi Data Systems to come away as a winner in this category is truly special. This accolade certainly supports the overwhelmingly positive reception HCP Anywhere has received from customers all over the world."

"Putting together the shortlist this year was a real head-scratcher. We know recognition in these awards can make a big difference to any organization so there's a huge weight of responsibility on the judges," said Cloud Awards organizer, Larry Johnson. "Reaching just the shortlist stage is an incredible achievement, but Hitachi Data Systems has shown it's got what it takes in this incredibly competitive cloud ecosystem."

This awards comes on the heels of recently announced innovations in the Hitachi Content Platform portfolio. The enhanced Hitachi Content Platform Portfolio is the most integrated and secure hybrid cloud solution for mobilizing businesses while protecting existing IT investments.
