Hitachi Vantara, Hitachi Ltd.'s subsidiary for digital infrastructure, data management, analytics, and digital solutions, announced new Lumada DataOps capabilities for automated, AI-driven data operations for all enterprise customers, as well as Lumada Industrial DataOps, providing advanced analytics capabilities for industrial use cases.
Data sprawl and governance have become more difficult as data becomes increasingly distributed across the data centre, edge, hybrid, and public cloud infrastructure. This complexity can hinder an organisation’s ability to turn data into business value. In a recent DataOps Survey by 451 Research, data privacy, compliance, and data access and preparation are top priorities for data-driven organisations.
The new Lumada DataOps features enable businesses to build a unified data fabric regulated by an upgraded data catalogue for automated data quality enhancements and governance. Customers can save time and effort to discover, access, prepare, and blend data across numerous data sources and locations with the newest enhancements to Data Integration powered by Pentaho technology. IoT analytics models for industrial contexts are part of the new Lumada Industrial DataOps portfolio, seamlessly blending IT and OT data to unlock breakthrough business insights.
“Unlike traditional data management solutions that lock customers into proprietary technologies, the Lumada DataOps and Lumada Industrial DataOps portfolio products augment any ecosystem to manage and govern data from anywhere,” said Radhika Krishnan, Chief Product Officer at Hitachi Vantara. “No matter where our clients’ data lives, we help them discover, analyse, govern and monetise it through Lumada DataOps in addition to data and analytics consulting services, helping clients propel their business with better data insights.”
Intelligent data operations are possible from the edge to the multicloud data fabric. Lumada DataOps automates the daily chores of gathering, integrating, controlling, and analysing data on an intelligent platform that provides an open and composable base for all company data and self-service data access to their preferred tools and analytics. Today’s updates to Lumada DataOps include:
-
Data Catalog – Accelerate business insights with Data Catalog v7.0 using trusted data built on IO-Tahoe technology including a powerful new user interface, data quality and Collibra connectivity.
-
Data Integration – Integrate data across hybrid cloud with Pentaho v9.3 through flexible cloud deployment and new connectors for cloud data stores like Snowflake, MongoDB Atlas, Teradata, Elastic Search7.x and IBM MQ 9.2.
IT and OT Data Convergence for Digital Industrial Operations
Hitachi Vantara’s new Lumada Industrial DataOps portfolio enables real-time insights and outcomes that power critical operations to be more predictable and manageable. It accelerates IT and OT data convergence by building a data fabric for analytic solutions from edge to multi-cloud. Lumada Industrial DataOps IIoT software automates data pipeline delivery across OT and IT sources, feeding industrial AI and ML models for predictive maintenance and operations optimisation. Capabilities of the new Lumada Industrial DataOps portfolio include:
-
IIoT Core – Accelerate and scale operation application deployment with a complete IIoT data platform including Core, Gateway, Digital Twins, and Machine Learning Services.
-
IIoT Analytics – Simplify AI and ML solutions creation through toolkits that simplify delivery through packaged Digital Twins with pre-trained ML models.
Organisations can use advanced operational analytics capabilities such as Digital Twins and AI/ML models to forecast and prescribe operational decision making when they have clean, accurate data.
Disney Parks and Resorts is one of our most important customers for Hitachi Vantara technology. WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort and DISNEYLAND® Resort have chosen Hitachi Vantara as their exclusive ride and show analytics provider.
“In order to maintain our complex ride systems, we are constantly capturing and ingesting data from multiple touchpoints throughout the ride, striving to optimise efficiency in our systems and continuing to keep the attraction experience as seamless as possible,” said Michael Tschanz, director of Design & Engineering Technology & Analysis at Disney. One project I personally think is the coolest thing we’ve worked on together this year is our development of the Digital Twin analysis technology,” Digital Twin simulations help us solve the challenge of doing analysis on certain areas of our attractions where we aren't able to put sensors. This innovation will result in even higher levels of analytic accuracy."
