Hitachi Content Platform's metadata search feature is not used in any case. It was only used in one tenant designed for testing, and it considerably impacts the performance of the cluster. Since there is no need to use it, it remains disabled. Automated data tiering capability of Hitachi Content Platform is not used either, because there is only one pool. Objects were not moved from one pool to another, so tiering is not utilized. For regulatory compliance, compliance mode is not preferred because the team often needs to modify retention or delete objects that are no longer needed. If compliance mode is used, nothing can be deleted or purged if a long retention period is configured. Governance mode is used instead because it is more practical.

Mainly, from my project, Hitachi Content Platform is used for archiving. The customer is in banking, so they need to keep their long-term data on the platform. The platform is replacing their existing tech, which was using IBM Jaguar tech. The aim is to write on Jaggle Storage, which can be kept for about ten years and more.
We proposed its consultation to our clients and have explored it further. This is important because we partnered with HST, who provided a demonstration box and shipped it from UAE to Pakistan for the customers' proof of concept. We didn't connect with NetApp for this demo box, nor did they initiate such a campaign. We're showcasing it as a content platform because we have a free demonstration box, offering a more cost-effective solution compared to a full version. Our key focus was integrating HCP with our client's existing robotics platform, tailoring it to their specific environment. They initially requested S3 object storage, which they hadn't used before, hence the proof of concept. It's more about exploration right now, with a potential decision later. They primarily wanted a centralized authority connecting all bank ATMs, providing access to diverse applications. They already have access through their existing unified storage. So, exploring HCP might be for introducing new products or services for their tenant customers, specifically the 200GB object storage, but that's still under exploration.

My job involves managing storage, like adding new hosts in our environment, creating users, zoning, and allocation. I completely decommission storage when a site is decommissioned and carry out all the DR activities, performance monitoring, tuning, and handling Hitachi universal replication. These are for the VSP areas and NAS activities like provisioning shares and capacity, as well as access management over the shares and file systems. These tasks are all done in Hitachi HNS. I use Hitachi Content Platform to manage namespaces, tenants, and pools. This is a backup and storage project with a few tenants used for archival purposes. Data are sent for the archival, and data gets archived according to the retention period in their specific tenant. We have particular tenants that are used for data migration. It is integrated with our HNS platform. These are the two main purposes for Hitachi Content Platform. We have about 50 people in my company working on HCP for this project, but my company has many projects, so I don't know who is using HCP for others.

Our primary use case is mainly for backup archival and for sharing Dropbox files. It's a Dropbox kind of thing for sharing and archival. We also use it to create content.

Our clients use this tool as a five-server solution and a backup repository. Those are the two principal use cases.
