Bring Data Center Intelligence to the Edge

Enable secure file services, analytics, and data management at the edge so federal teams can operate effectively anywhere, even in disconnected and bandwidth-constrained environments.

The Challenge

Federal Missions Don’t Run in One Place

Federal missions increasingly operate outside traditional data centers across forward locations, regional offices, field sites, ships, vehicles, laboratories, and mobile teams. These environments generate and rely on data, but often lack reliable connectivity, centralized infrastructure, or consistent data services.

As agencies decentralize operations, they face a growing gap between where data is created and where it can be securely accessed, analyzed, and governed. Traditional edge solutions often focus on hardware or connectivity alone, leaving agencies with fragmented data, limited visibility, and operational risk.

Common Federal Edge Challenges Include:

-Inconsistent file access and collaboration across remote locations
-Limited analytics and insight where decisions must be made
-Bandwidth constraints and intermittent connectivity
-Security, governance, and data protection gaps outside the data center

The Solution

Edge Data Services Built for Federal Operations

Hitachi enables agencies to extend trusted data services to the edge, ensuring that users, applications, and systems can securely access and analyze data wherever the mission operates.

Our edge computing approach focuses on data continuity, analytics, and governance, not just infrastructure. By combining secure edge file services with edge-aware analytics, agencies can operate independently at the edge while remaining fully integrated with core and cloud environments. This allows federal teams to work locally, analyze locally, and synchronize intelligently without sacrificing security, compliance, or operational control.

Differentiators

Data-first edge architecture aligned to federal missions
Secure file access and collaboration at remote and tactical sites
Integrated analytics for insight at or near the point of action
Centralized visibility and governance across edge, core, and cloud
