The Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) is a storage solution for long-term archiving of fixed content data under policy controls. Previously called the Hitachi Content Archiving Platform or HCAP, the HCP has continued to be advanced with new capabilities. There are multiples models of HCP, the Model S31 and Model S11 have self-contained disk storage and the Model G11 uses externally attached Hitachi storage – all flash or disk. A KVM or VMware virtual machine image is also available to run the HCP software in clusters that are virtual machines.
The controller of the HCP is based upon industry standard servers and uses custom software from Hitachi. The Hitachi Content Platform is targeted at archiving unstructured data across multiple industries and market segments with the capability to meet multiple regulatory requirements around records retention.
Hitachi also offers file sharing and synchronization software called HCP Anywhere that uses the HCP system for object storage, protection, sharing, and secure access. The HCP Anywhere software is not described in this document which focuses on the underlying HCP system.
