The four qualities of Modern Platform
- 1. Partner Engineered System
- 2. Hyper Converged Infrastructure
- 3. Small Entry Level
- 4. Value Optimised Architecture
SLIDE 10
Partner Engineered System
Reduces time to value, because Hitachi takes responsibility for: ▪ Build ▪ Integration of components ▪ Testing and validation The result is a turnkey system that’s data centre ready 45 days after placing an order
SLIDE 11
Hyper Converged Infrastructure
A building block for the Software Defined Data Centre (SDDC) ▪ VSAN for Software Defined Storage ▪ NSX for Software Defined Networking ▪ vCenter for a familiar admin environment and API ▪ vCloud Foundation (VCF) pulls everything together
‒ SDDC Manager for ongoing updates etc.
SLIDE 12
Small Entry Level
Field sales told us that 100VMs was the sweet spot for opportunities that we were missing But price needed to stay in line with previous offerings using Hyper Converged Infrastructure
SLIDE 13
Value Optimised Architecture
Focus was on total cost of ownership - $/VM Software defined means license cost dominated Single socket systems to get our desired entry level Half the sockets – half the license cost

Modern Platform – Value Proposition
By Leveraging Hitachi’s R&D: ▪ DXC reduces latency, and orients DXC investments to higher order/ differentiated services. ▪ Faster technology adoption & GTM cycles with a joint governance model Pre-integration can include: ▪ Business continuity services from STaaS ▪ AT&T network delivery ▪ BPS and Security wrapper Both Capex and Opex models available Can address both horizontal and vertical/industry use cases
SLIDE 17
Better, Faster, Cheaper
Better through life maintenance experience Faster time to market for new hardware & Faster from order to install Lower cost per VM

Summary
Fully integrated Compute, Storage, Networking, Software and through life-support, scaling non-disruptively from entry level suitability to rack scale all consumed via industry standard APIs
Software Defined, Hyper-Converged, All Flash Infrastructure. Partner Engineered. Ingredients are fully integrated, designed, engineered, delivered and supported as one. Simplified Deployment and Through-Life Operations. Think BIG, Start small. Scale as you need.

▪ Design thinking can drive us towards better optimised systems ▪ Lots has changed in IT over the last 20 years
‒ So why do servers still look the same?
▪ Multiple benefits are within our grasp:
‒ Cheaper bill of materials == less acquisition cost ‒ Fewer things to fail == greater reliability == less operational cost ‒ Lower power draw == greater density == less operational cost
The Journey doesn’t end here…
