Recent innovations in generative and industrial AI, cloud computing, and the explosion of data growth are reshaping the digital infrastructure paradigm. Add to that the unique complexities of federal mission data and requirements for security, performance, and accessibility across hybrid cloud and extreme edge environments – the need for simplicity in data management for government has never been more critical.
Federal data center architects, storage administrators, and other digital infrastructure stakeholders find themselves at the forefront of this need for innovation, and the key to keeping pace lies in adopting a future-ready, application-driven approach to managing and accessing data.
THE CHALLENGE: NAVIGATING THE COMPLEX TERRAIN
The modern digital ecosystem is complex, with data in various locations across on-premises infrastructure and public/hybrid cloud environments. Meeting the demands of this dynamic landscape requires a radical transformation in how data operations are managed. This is where the concept of a unified data fabric, control plane, and data plane comes into play.
ONE DATA FABRIC: BRIDGING THE DIVIDE
A single data fabric is indispensable to enable applications to consume the data they need from anywhere across the infrastructure. A unified data fabric breaks down silos, facilitating seamless data access and movement across disparate environments. This enhances flexibility and streamlines data management, making it easier for federal agencies to harness the power of their data.
ONE CONTROL PLANE: SIMPLIFYING MANAGEMENT
The complexity of managing diverse data infrastructure can slow down operations and hinder agility. Adopting a common control plane allows stakeholders to manage their data infrastructure as a cohesive solution. This unified approach accelerates the time to insight, empowering federal agencies to make data-driven decisions more efficiently.
ONE DATA PLANE: FACILITATING FLUIDITY
Data flow should be uninhibited, whether it’s between applications, on-premises environments, or public/hybrid clouds. A single data plane ensures data can move effortlessly, providing a cohesive and streamlined experience. This simplicity in data flow enhances collaboration, agility, and overall operational efficiency.
INTRODUCING: VIRTUAL STORAGE PLATFORM ONE
In the pursuit of simplicity in federal data operations, Hitachi Vantara Federal introduces the Virtual Storage Platform One. This groundbreaking platform embodies the principles of a unified data fabric, control plane, and data plane, bringing unprecedented simplicity and scale to government data operations.
EMBRACE SIMPLICITY, UNLEASH POTENTIAL
In the ever-evolving landscape of federal data management, simplicity is the key to unlocking the full potential of data. By adopting a unified data fabric, control plane, and data plane, federal data center architects, storage administrators, and digital infrastructure stakeholders can easily navigate the complexities of modern data operations.
