HDS

9K has been providing services to an increasing number of happy customers since 2003.

In 2010, we added Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) to our portfolio and now that we are an HDS TrueNorth Silver Business Partner – we are accredited to provide the full range of HDS storage solutions. Why? – Well we want to continue the trend we have set so far and continually exceed our customer’s expectations.

More time

At 9K we believe that you should be spending more time with your customers and not worrying about your IT.

In the world of storage, this is supported by having intelligent systems which automatically balance workloads, avoiding storage “hot spots” and freeing up your administrators’ time. HDS storage solutions boast high performance and scalability and, of course, are highly resilient offering up to 100% availability to your applications. With technology such as Hitachi Dynamic (Thin) Provisioning – adding new applications is a breeze.

The HDS range of products suits small to the largest organisations and with a common set of management tools across the board – all designed by Hitachi – you’ll get more time where you need it.

Through time

Throughout the IT lifecycle we help you to make the right choices, enabling your applications to run faster and more reliably, to store data for longer and to retrieve it more quickly. And all for a price that fits your budget.

HDS continually achieves leading Price/ Performance results according to the independent body the Storage Performance Council. With over 15,000 deployments of virtualised storage solutions, HDS is extending the lifecycle of storage assets around the world – regardless of which vendors’ products were originally deployed. With operational costs often exceeding capital costs by a factor of three times, the combination of HDS technology and 9K lifecycle services could minimise your costs through time. HDS call it Storage Economics.

All the time

When it comes to support, your service availability is our number one priority. Our unparalleled quality of service has its root in our motto: fix first, ask questions later.

With HDS, you get enterprise class support, no matter the size of your enterprise. All HDS solutions are connected to the UK based HDS support desk via HiTrack. Using predictive failure alerts and proactive monitoring, quite often the first time you hear there may be a problem, is when HDS call you. You will get a named engineer with standard support offered for 1 to 5 years on a 24x7x365 4 hour response basis. Other options are also available.
