I'm not at all surprised to see this. The writing has been on the wall that Hitachi has an appetite for getting into enterprise software. 5-ish years ago they bought an SAP infrastructure shop that I used to work with when I consulted in the space. At the time it seemed they were dipping their toes but it felt like only a matter of time until they made a bigger push into enterprise software services.

- keypusher 6y agoThey have actually been in this area for quite a while. My first real dev job was at HDS after they acquired Archivas back in 2007. We built off the Archivas foundation to deliver petabyte-scale object storage for big enterprise/govt, kind of like selling S3 in a box for companies to put in their datacenter. HDS made the hardware and software. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/archivas https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/archivas
