Last week I was very privileged to visit the Hitachi Central Research Laboratory in Kokobunji, in Tokyo. A few of us met with the lead team of the laboratory and visited the site. The facility is in an amazing location, a green oasis in harmony with the core value of environmentally-conscious R&D for the future. We were introduced to different areas of research including a great lab that focuses on IT heat management/power optimization amongst other things.
But what struck me the most beyond the fantastic hospitality of the Laboratory team, was the “Henjin-Kai” concept. It’s an association of doctoral degree holders (over 1200 employees, and a total close to 2300) who contribute to many fields through highly-encouraged interactions between members with an objective of contributing to the prosperity of society through science and technology.
The list of recent awards is too long to list, but it’s impressive and across many fields and businesses, from high-speed trains to server technology.
Many uniquely differentiated technologies used in our storage systems today come from the research conducted by Hitachi. Our R&D and philosophy are unique strengths that we gladly share with all our customers. And this also sets us apart from all the other storage vendors.
