Hitachi Vantara Expands Outcome-Based Service-Level Agreements And Simplified Consumption Models Through Hitachi EverFlex

New SLAs, combined with flexible consumption models, improve cost predictability, reduce infrastructure acquisition barriers, and accelerate private and hybrid cloud modernization

Hitachi Vantara, the data storage, infrastructure and hybrid cloud management subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd. (TSE: 6501), today announced enhanced capabilities for Hitachi EverFlex, including new service-level agreements (SLAs), along with simplified purchasing and management models that make it easier for organizations to plan, acquire, operate and scale infrastructure with greater predictability. This flexible approach supports a broader shift toward standardized, services-based data platform acquisition that enables customers to assume greater control over their infrastructure costs, gain more flexibility over how their infrastructure is managed to save staff time and resources, and improve their ability to scale up without over-provisioning.

For more information about Hitachi EverFlex and related service-level commitments, visit: https://www.hitachivantara.com/en-us/services/infrastructure-as-a-service

As organizations expand hybrid cloud environments and data-intensive workloads for the AI age, how they acquire, deploy and manage infrastructure is becoming a central component of enterprise IT strategy. According to Gartner®, by 2029, consumption-based storage as a service (STaaS) will replace 50% of on-premises enterprise storage and data services infrastructure capital expenditure (CapEx), an increase from 15% in early 2025. This growth isn’t surprising, considering a recent survey found that infrastructure complexity is growing rapidly, with 84% of organizations across the U.S. and Canada reporting it is increasing too quickly to manage.

Hitachi EverFlex, a flexible consumption model for enterprise data infrastructure, gives customers more choice in how they buy, pay for and operate infrastructure, spanning purchase, lease, usage-based subscription and fully managed infrastructure-as-a-service models. As part of the expanded offerings, the company is introducing new CapEx options, defined service commitments and flexible payment and service options that enable customers to plan, deploy and expand their data capacity and management services when they need it, and in the form they want it – providing a repeatable and scalable operating framework. This platform-plus-services approach allows customers to align costs to usage and choose how much operational responsibility they retain or offload.

“All enterprises today are facing similar challenges: Data volumes are accelerating, cyber threats are increasing and regulatory requirements around data sovereignty and compliance are becoming stricter,” said Jeb Horton, senior vice president of global services at Hitachi Vantara. “Rather than a rip-and-replace approach, which can be time consuming and expensive, Hitachi EverFlex addresses those challenges through new SLAs and flexible acquisition models that fully leverage CapEx and OpEx budgets, help guarantee continuous availability and provide greater assurance around cost control while maintaining the performance required to support mission-critical and data-intensive workloads.”

The enhancements to Hitachi EverFlex focus on improving simplicity, accountability and operational consistency across the lifecycle:

Mission-critical guarantees with new contractual SLAs: Additional contractual SLAs provide defined outcomes across key operational areas, helping organizations run essential workloads with greater confidence and predictability. These commitments span areas such as availability, performance, optimization and recovery, including guarantees designed to support continuous data availability for critical workloads and service commitments that can be aligned to specific customer operating requirements.

Standardized consumption and expansion models: Hitachi EverFlex features extended consumption models that allow customers to pay for only the infrastructure they need, making it easier to align infrastructure investments with actual usage while improving financial predictability and optimizing procurement, including flexible CapEx and OpEx options.

Improved visibility and control across environments: A unified experience, including VSP 360, a common control plane for usage visibility and SLA monitoring for Hitachi Vantara’s Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) data platform, enables customers to monitor usage, track service levels and gain operational insight to support governance and decision-making.

Hitachi Vantara supports a broad range of enterprise use cases, providing a flexible acquisition model for how organizations deploy and manage infrastructure. This includes hybrid cloud modernization and data-driven AI applications, helping organizations reduce overprovisioning, improve utilization and accelerate time to value. Hitachi EverFlex is designed to support both current infrastructure needs and future growth, enabling organizations to scale resources as business demands evolve without adding operational complexity.

Coca-Cola And Google Reimagine The Coke Break With Gemini Experiences

Coca-Cola and Google Gemini Bring Storytelling, Music, and AI Together with “Coca-Cola Halftime Surprise”

Coca-Cola India is making every pause a lot more fun with the launch of “Coca-Cola Halftime Surprise”, a new AI-powered experience developed in collaboration with Google and built with Google Gemini. Bringing together two iconic labels, the experience unlocks three distinct AI-led journeys designed to turn everyday Coke breaks into playful moments of surprise, creativity, and self-expression.

Inspired by Coca-Cola’s global “Halftime” philosophy, consumers can scan the QR code on any special Coca-Cola pack to step into imaginative new worlds. By unlocking one of three unique labels, users enter a themed, gamified interface on Google Gemini where quick taps, swipes, and personality-led inputs turn an everyday pause into a personalized journey of self-expression.

Using Gemini’s Canvas feature, new creative experiences unfold with every interaction across cinematic comic-strip universes, imagined timelines, and music-inspired alter egos. One moment could place consumers inside dramatic visual narratives with evolving characters and aesthetics, while another could transport them across prehistoric eras with dinosaurs, medieval castles, or futuristic realities imagined through AI-powered creativity. Alongside uniquely generated creations, consumers will also get the chance to unlock rewards and win vouchers.

To step into these worlds, consumers can scan a pack and choose from three distinct adventures:

Be a Rockstar: Users tap through a nostalgic jukebox interface to turn a selfie into a personalized album cover with custom tracks, unlocking a chance to win concert tickets.

Be a Movie Star: Users swipe through a movie vending machine interface to star as the main character of a custom six-panel comic strip, unlocking a chance to win movie vouchers.

Travel Through Time: Users pilot a digital time machine to build an aesthetic, vision-board style collage around their selfie, unlocking a chance to win flight and hotel vouchers.

Greishma Singh, Vice President, Marketing, Coca-Cola India and Southwest Asia said, “For Gen Z consumers today, self-expression is fluid, visual, and deeply shaped by music and digital culture. With Coca-Cola Halftime Surprise, we wanted to reimagine the Coke pause as something more participative, playful, and personal to them. What makes this especially exciting is that every single interaction is unique with the help of Google Gemini. Whether you are creating your own comic strip, time-travelling to a world only AI can take you to, or designing your album cover, the experience feels entirely yours. The collaboration with Google brings together creativity and technology in a way that transforms a simple scan on a Coca-Cola pack into a moment of genuine discovery.”

Shekar Khosla, VP - Marketing at Google India, said: “Brand engagement is most memorable when it is interactive, personal, and fun. We're glad to collaborate with Coca-Cola so that Coca-Cola Halftime Surprise gives people an engaging way to play, create, and share using Google Gemini. What makes this engagement so exciting is the ability to generate truly personalized experiences. With Gemini as a creative companion, people can seamlessly think up new visual narratives and turn everyday moments into a fun showcase of self-expression.”

The launch builds on the success of Festicons, Coca-Cola’s generative AI-led activation during Diwali that enabled consumers to create personalized festive expressions at scale. With Coca-Cola Halftime Surprise, Coca-Cola India takes that spirit of creativity into an always-on experience designed to make everyday moments more expressive, interactive, and full of surprise.

ROHM PLECS Simulator Now Available For Rapid Power Electronics Circuit Verification

ROHM has released the ROHM PLECS Simulator on ROHM’s official website. This simulation tool enables designers of power electronics circuits and system designers to rapidly simulate the operation of ROHM’s power devices online. The tool is based on the PLECS® simulation software.

In circuit design, particularly for power electronics circuits, simulation is utilized as an alternative to costly and time-consuming hardware prototyping. In 2020, ROHM launched the ROHM Solution Simulator, which enables the simultaneous verification of power device and IC products, and has since continued to expand its range of topologies and device models. Owing to features such as the provision of high precision SPICE models, the tool has been highly regarded for its ability to reproduce waveforms closely resembling those of actual hardware with a high degree of accuracy. However, in the early stages of development, there was a demand to quickly select the optimal power device based on loss and thermal verification.

In response to this demand, ROHM has launched the ROHM PLECS Simulator, which specializes in loss and thermal calculations. This allows users to simulate power loss and temperature rise in a matter of seconds to minutes by selecting a power electronics circuit topology from a list on the website and choosing from the various power devices offered by ROHM. This significantly reduces the time and effort required for optimal device selection during the early stages of circuit design. Twenty different topologies are already available, and ROHM plans to expand the range of device models and topologies in the future, including SiC devices, IGBTs and power modules.
 

By utilizing the ROHM PLECS Simulator for rapid initial analysis using PLECS® and the detailed, high-precision verification for which the ‘ROHM Solution Simulator’ is renowned, and by selecting the appropriate tool according to the development phase, it is possible to perform end-to-end simulation, ranging from design loss and thermal verification to waveform checking.

This simulator is available free of charge simply by registering as a user on the ROHM website. In addition, the dedicated page provides access to the simulator as well as the information required for its use (user manual, application notes explaining circuit operation).

Terminology

PLECS®

A simulator for power electronics circuits and systems, developed to model and simulate complex electrical and power systems involving control in a virtual environment. It excels at high-speed calculations of factors such as losses, enabling rapid verification of the overall system response during the early stages of development.

PLECS® is a registered trademark of Plexim, Inc.
