Hitachi Unified Compute Platform CI Node

The Hitachi Unified Compute Platform CI Node (UCP-CI-V8) is a compute node engineered for integration within Hitachi Vantara's Unified Compute Platform CI converged infrastructure stack. Designed to deliver high-density virtualization performance, the CI Node pairs industry-standard x86 server hardware with Hitachi's unified management fabric, enabling administrators to provision, monitor, and scale compute resources through a single management plane. The platform is validated for VMware vSphere environments and is architected to simplify data-center consolidation by tightly coupling compute, network connectivity, and storage access within a pre-integrated, factory-tested configuration.

The UCP CI Node supports dual Intel Xeon Scalable processors and accommodates substantial memory capacity to serve memory-intensive enterprise workloads including virtual desktop infrastructure, database virtualization, and private cloud platforms. Redundant power supplies, hot-swap drive bays, and integrated baseboard management ensure high availability at the hardware layer, while Hitachi's UCP Advisor software provides unified lifecycle management across the converged stack. The node slots into standard UCP CI chassis configurations and is designed to scale horizontally as workload demands grow, without requiring infrastructure redesign.

As a component of the broader Hitachi UCP CI portfolio, the CI Node is positioned for enterprise organizations seeking to reduce deployment complexity and accelerate time-to-production for virtualized workloads. Its factory-validated VMware compatibility, combined with Hitachi Vantara's converged management tooling, makes it a practical foundation for organizations modernizing legacy three-tier infrastructure toward an integrated, software-defined data-center model. Support for Hitachi's storage integration layers enables direct, low-latency connectivity to Hitachi block and file storage arrays within the same converged stack.

Ideal for

• VMware vSphere virtualization consolidation and private cloud build-out requiring pre-validated converged compute nodes
• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployments demanding high memory density and consistent, low-latency compute performance
• Enterprise database virtualization for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and SAP workloads running within VMware guest environments
• Dev/test environment provisioning where rapid, repeatable compute node deployment and unified lifecycle management are operationally critical
• Disaster recovery and business continuity architectures leveraging VMware Site Recovery Manager within a Hitachi UCP converged stack
• Data-center consolidation projects migrating distributed physical workloads onto a managed, scalable converged infrastructure platform
