Hitachi Data Systems Corporation has announced a new cloud partner ecosystem. The company, a subsidiary of Japan's Hitachi, Ltd., named global IT solutions distributor Avnet Technology Solutions as the corporation's Hitachi Cloud Services Connection (HCSC) program (HCSC) distributor in Australia. The organizations will operate under a new brand - Avnet Cloud Connect.

The two organizations will cooperate with Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and other partners to cater to resellers and systems integrators who address the need for cloud computing without excessive investment. Availability Solutions, Gammer Group and Perfekt have already joined the new ecosystem.

Managed by Hitachi Data Systems, HCSC is a white-labelled cloud option that leverages Hitachi cloud solutions. Hosted in Australia, its allows its partners to resell cloud services under their own brands. Cloud options available include hosted private clouds, virtual private clouds and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). All options are available through a genuine pay-per-use model billed on a monthly basis.

“Hitachi Cloud Services Connection goes well beyond today’s cloud service by offering businesses the benefits of the public cloud but with none of the risks," explained Director, Industry and Alliance Solutions in Australia and New Zealand, Hitachi Data Systems, Phil Teague. "It uses an ITIL-certified, low latency, and local data centre architecture with strong support. By teaming with Avnet, we allow partners to build their own differentiated cloud offering around Avnet Cloud Connect to present their customers with a viable alternative to the public cloud. This is particularly important as more Australian businesses seek assurance on data security, privacy and regulatory compliance delivered from an onshore location.”
