Just like other traditional IT vendors, HDS is actively transforming to the cloud, so it has the "Three Clouds" of HDS-Infrastructure cloud, content cloud and information cloud. If "Cloud" is the clear line of HDS enterprise transformation, "extending to the Data Protection Field" is a dark line of HDS enterprise transformation. I personally think that the transformation from a primary storage vendor to data backup, protection, and management will have an important impact on the future business development of HDS, which is no less significant to the cloud for HDS.
I have talked about hdim on some occasions before. Today I am tempted to talk about hdim, or a friend who is about to change his work. Generally, it seems that before a big holiday arrives, it is the "best time" to change jobs ." My friend was responsible for hdim promotion in HDS China. Seeing that she was about to return her laptop, she thought she was about to resign sadly. In fact, it was a "high" upgrade, and it was promoted to hds uk to continue to take charge of hdim. Conjecture: 1. She has been doing a good job in the past two years, so she was pleasantly surprised. 2. hdim's business is growing rapidly and is well received by the Headquarters. In the future, there will be greater development. For whatever reason, first, we are happy for our friends, and second, we are more and more interested in hdim.
Not long ago, HDS acquired sepaton, which caused a great shock in the circle. Compared with this acquisition, HDS's acquisition of cofio in 2012 has hardly caused any ripple in China. However, in retrospect, I believe that the acquisition of cofio is the real start for HDS to step into the data backup, protection and management fields, and the acquisition of sepaton is a continuation of this strategy. The friend mentioned above is the only cofio employee that HDS kept in China when it acquired cofio. The current hdim product is the trophy of cofio acquisition, it was carried forward by HDS.
Hdim has been developing for more than two years without much attention. It is consistent with the HDS style and will not be publicized with great fanfare when the product is not mature. After cofio integration and further integration of HDS technology, hdim began to "expose a tip" to Chinese users ". After communicating with relevant HDS technical experts, we had a preliminary understanding of hdim. The most unique feature of hdim is that it takes data management as the core and has all the functions of current data protection. Hdim will be more closely integrated with HDS's existing storage-based data protection solutions. High Integration and simple application are the core advantages of hdim.
Previously, HDS had accumulated storage-based protection, and the acquisition of cofio made up for the shortcomings of HDS in host-based data protection. The acquisition of cofio further enhances the overall strength in data protection.
It responds to the "integration" strategy advocated by the entire IT industry, and hdim is also an integrated brand, all functions required for data protection, such as local snapshot, replication and Disaster Tolerance, CDP, backup, archiving, file tracking, and data security, are provided through one software. If you purchase hdim, you will obtain all of the above functions without additional fees. At the same time, hdim is also interpreting a much more popular concept-software definition. Hdim is not based on product functions, but on user requirements. It first looks at user requirements and then uses software functions to meet specific application requirements. Unlike most data protective covers that provide different software for different applications, hdim uses only one software to meet all the customer's data protection requirements. From this perspective, hdim is a truly integrated product. Many vendors have also seen the development trend of integration and integration, and have made great efforts in this direction. However, limited to their technical architecture, they cannot achieve integration from the underlying architecture.
Hdim has blossomed in some domestic industries. For example, Gansu bank built a comprehensive data protection platform with hdim. The experience of Gansu bank in protecting non-key business systems must be used by peers for reference, hdim's deployment and operations in this process are simple, and the ability to fully meet Data Protection and Disaster Tolerance Metrics is also impressive.
I learned from inside HDS that next year hdim will launch a new version. The launch of hdim and the acquisition of sepaton opened a good start for HDS's full entry into the enterprise-level data protection field.
