Generating New Revenue with Modern AI-Ready Infrastructure

The modernization conversation has reached a breaking point. For organizations running mission-critical workloads — including increasingly demanding AI-driven applications — the traditional approach often introduces unnecessary risk. But does modernization always lead to costly investments, operational downtime, and uncertain outcomes? 

It's time for a different approach that positions modernization as a strategic enabler of performance, resilience, agility, and efficiency.

Join industry expert Scott Sinclair from Omdia, and Jay Subramanian, General Manager, Core Storage Platforms at Hitachi Vantara, as we cut through the noise to address what really matters: Can you achieve AI-ready infrastructure without the gamble?

We’ll deliver clear answers on:
• How leading enterprises transform without disruption (see how one bank completed data migration in 51 minutes with zero downtime)
• The real difference between upgrade and wholesale modernization strategies
• Proven architectural patterns for AI integration across hybrid environments
• Critical mistakes that derail modernization initiatives

The bottom line: This isn’t about starting over. It’s about building forward with technology that amplifies your existing investments while unlocking tomorrow’s opportunities.

This event is for infrastructure leaders, architects, and IT decision-makers who refuse to compromise mission-critical stability for innovation.

Build Modern AI-Ready Infrastructure Without Starting Over

Modernize your Data Lakehouse with Object Storage - Trends, Tech, and the Road Ahead

The contemporary threat landscape, characterized by advanced persistent threats and supply chain compromises, has rendered the concept of a perfectly secure network a dangerous fallacy. This analysis moves beyond traditional cybersecurity's prevention-centric model to propose a framework for cyber resiliency—the ability to deliver intended outcomes despite ongoing cyberattacks. Hitachi with 100+ years of legacy and having leadership in both IT and Operational Technology (OT), deconstructs resiliency into critical operational domains: Assume Breach mindset, Zero Trust principles to minimize blast radius, and Cyber Recovery assurance with isolated, immutable backups to ensure restoration. Furthermore, we identify the existential threat posed by quantum computing to current public-key cryptography (e.g., RSA, ECC). A truly resilient posture must therefore be "Quantum-Safe," proactively integrating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms and quantum key distribution (QKD) to safeguard data against both present and future cryptographically-relevant quantum attacks.

Secure by Design: Quantum-Safe Resilience in the Age of Inevitable Breaches

Cyber threats are escalating in volume and sophistication, and the increasing complexity of data environments can hinder recovery efforts. But all this, alongside growing regulatory and compliance demands, means it’s more important than ever before to bolster cyber resilience to mitigate downtime, data loss, and regulatory risk by ensuring business continuity. Our experts discuss navigating uptime and data integrity in this challenging environment, and the crucial role of predictable rapid recovery in the event of a breach. 
From the importance of proactive ransomware detection to data recovery preparedness in the face of automated attacks, get all this plus: 
• Why traditional backup and recovery processes, which can take hours to restore data, are no longer fit for purpose. 
• The importance of predictable recovery times and the ability to recover clean, usable data. 
• How a faster, clean production data recovery guarantee gives customers predictable cyber resilience.

Join our webinar to overcome cyber-attacks fast, meet regulatory requirements, and keep business moving no matter what.

Cyberattacks: Is Predictable Business Continuity Possible?

AI is rewriting the rules of competition. Compliance regulations are constantly shifting. The pressure to choose data storage that can handle the unpredictable has never been greater.

Making the right infrastructure investment demands foresight. In this webinar, our guest speakers from Forrester bring more than just predictions: they discuss findings from a Total Economic Impact™ study commissioned by Hitachi Vantara that reveals the key drivers behind high-impact data storage decisions. You’ll discover:

• What the future of enterprise storage looks like
• Demystifying what it means to be “AI-Ready” 
• The great gap between modernized infrastructure vs a patchwork of quick fixes
• Future-testing Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One). Customers reveal how VSP One performs under pressure, and its readiness for what’s next.

In short: we’ll explore the key factors to ensure your data storage decisions deliver the most reliable, predictable return on investment — today and into the future.

Unlocking ROI: The Forrester Study That Could Save Your Next Storage Investment

As organizations increasingly adopt object storage solutions for managing vast amounts of unstructured data, many find that their traditional backup and recovery models do not offer adequate protection against ransomware and the ever-increasing threat of cyberattacks.
