In the late November 24 of Beijing time, Hitachi said in Thursday that it would sell cloud data systems that would integrate and analyse data collected from different areas such as highways, shipping, power grids and transportation.
Kaichiro Sakuma, Hitachi platform business director, says that these systems exist independently, such as train control systems and enterprise management systems, but Hitachi can connect systems via cloud platforms, a technology that other IT vendors cannot provide.
He said Hitachi meets stringent security requirements and will handle sensitive data using a dedicated cloud system, and that the team will be dedicated to monitoring and protecting the network.
Hitachi said it was striving to bring cloud-related revenue to 500 billion yen (about $6.5 billion) in the fiscal year ending March 2016.
Sakuma, in an example of Hitachi's cloud-Data system in Okinawa, said the system would manage electric car rentals and charging stations, monitor the use of electricity and http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/7756.html "> E payments." The company plans to extend the system to overseas markets such as Hawaii and Spain.
Hitachi also said it would like to focus on "large data" calculations, and analyze large and diverse information groups. As of now, many infrastructure projects have been focused on real-time monitoring and feedback, but such data can be stored and sorted to identify larger trends and inefficiencies, Sakuma said.
In addition, Hitachi will build two new data centers in China to drive business development.
