Henry Schein TechCentral vs. Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)

Best for cases where performance is not an issue.

Incentivized

• HCP/HDI interface works like charm. it's easy to deploy and scale.
• Hitachi customer support is at par with expectations
• More cost effective than EMC/NetApp solutions.

Incentivized

• Cost structure is by capacity and is expensive
• Some access settings are mutually exclusive for performance (REST vs. CIFS)
• QoS by Tenant requires use of external ADC (Hitachi suggested and sold us Pulse Secure) and their support on this product offering is not up to their normally high standard

Incentivized

[Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)] has all of the features of competitive offerings and wraps them in a better multi-tenancy solution. It's object level permission model and non-overridable immutability (in Compliance mode for configured namespaces) is a bump up compared to other solutions. It's offering of it's own API as well as S3 REST support make it very flexible.

Incentivized

• Best on premise solution of its' kind that encapsulates all our needs
• ROI has been positive but it does raise questions at renewal time in terms of cost/GB vs other 2nd tier storage types
