Marcel Fouché, networking and storage general manager at Networks Unlimited Africa, says, “We are pleased to announce this new partnership with Hitachi Vantara throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The company covers several areas, with a product line alone of some 40 000 items. This high-end offering includes IoT, data analytics, digital transformation, hybrid cloud, storage and applications, as well as several other industry solutions.”

Fouché adds, “Hitachi Vantara mainly offers storage solutions for enterprises and midsize organisations, but also includes other hardware, software, data analytics and consultation services for many areas of IT and businesses within its portfolio. Its compatibility with the rest of the Networks Unlimited Africa’s networking and storage portfolio is proving to be phenomenal, and in addition, it dovetails well with the other products across our entire stable.”

The promise of Hitachi Vantara is to ‘help find the hidden value in data, which in turn reveals the path to intelligent innovation’. The company aims to aid businesses ‘to manage their data to realise outcomes that matter’, and as such, offers data management, analytics and industrial expertise all rolled into one solution provider.
