Hitachi Vantara, subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. announced that Asia Airfreight Terminal (AAT), a key operator at Hong Kong International Airport, has modernized its IT backbone with Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) to deliver uninterrupted cold chain logistics. Since the deployment, AAT has reported zero downtime, a threefold increase in storage capacity, and over 50% improvement in energy efficiency, significantly strengthening resilience and sustainability in 24/7 air cargo operations. Operating at the world's largest international air cargo hub, AAT manages cargo handling across two terminals, including the COOLPORT facility for temperature-sensitive goods like pharmaceuticals and permissions. Any infrastructure disruption could jeopardize compliance with International Air Transport Association (IATA) standards and compromise time-critical shipments. To replace aging infrastructure, AAT selected Hitachi Vantara, in partnership with Rainbow Tech Information, to deploy Hitachi VSP One Block with built-in global-active device (GAD) replication across dual data centers. Since GAD is built into the VSP One storage arrays, it doesn't require a separate appliance to manage replication, which provides AAT with a simpler architecture that reduces complexity in hardware setup, configuration and maintenance. The platform also supports seamless failover, real-time deduplication and compression, and immutable backups for ransomware resilience. This streamlined architecture has reduced AAT's rack footprint by 75% and enabled significant operational efficiency gains. Hitachi Vantara continues to lead in energy-efficient storage, with the VSP One portfolio earning top ENERGY STAR®? certifications, including the top two spots held by VSP One Block. Its AI-powered data management platform now enables customers to reduce IT overhead by up to 70%, while delivering the reliability and scalability modern enterprises demand.

Hitachi, Ltd. - Analyst/Investor Day

Hitachi, Ltd. announced that it welcomes the strategic investments published by the governments of Japan and the United States. The fact sheet includes essential projects for ensuring stable power supply and advancing AI revolution in the United States, such as initiatives aimed at grid modernization and electrification, and construction for small modular reactors (SMRs), "BWRX-300," the next generation of nuclear power. Hitachi will contribute to these projects by leveraging its collective business strengths as "True One Hitachi." To advance grid modernization and electrification initiatives, Hitachi signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United States Department of Commerce ("DOC"). This agreement aims to promote investment in energy infrastructure that is essential for powering data centers and drive the sustainable AI revolution. Based on the MoU, Hitachi is exploring further expansion of Hitachi Energy's manufacturing activities, including additional transformer production capacity, and will evaluate further opportunities to localize the production of other energy technologies in the United States. Hitachi strives to enhance energy security, resilience, and technological leadership, while also supporting the growth of high-quality employment and innovation across American communities. Hitachi will also consult with DOC regarding accelerating permitting and approval processes for timely and effective realization of these investments. The BWRX-300 is a small light-water reactor that enhances economic efficiency while maintaining advanced safety. With a proven track record in the design, procurement, and manufacturing of nuclear power plants, and deep technical expertise, Hitachi is committed to supporting SMR construction through the provision of equipment and engineering services - helping to ensure a stable power supply that meets the growing electricity demand.1 GE Vernova holds 60% of the shares in GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy while Hitachi holds 40%.

Hitachi, Ltd. and Southwest Power Pool, Inc. announced a strategic partnership to solve critical and imminent problems slowing the modernization of U.S. energy infrastructure. The partnership will produce an integrated AI-based solution that accelerates generator interconnection (GI) by reducing study analysis times by 80% while also informing faster, higher-quality decision-making by GI customers. This will markedly improve SPP's ability to facilitate the addition of its 14-state region's generating capacity to keep pace with increasing demand for electricity. U.S. energy demands are rising by 2 to 3% annually, driven by data center growth, expanding manufacturing, and electrification. Data centers alone are projected to consume up to 12% of U.S. electricity by 2028, versus 4.4% in 2023. Such trends drive an alarming supply and demand gap as generating capacity margins in the SPP footprint could decline from 24% in 2020 to just 5% in 2029 unless an intervention occurs. That intervention starts with end-to-end technical innovation, first at the point of generator interconnection. Currently, the U.S. generates 1.28 terawatts of power3. More than twice that generated amount wait in a queue as unusable backlog caused by today's grid interconnect process. The long wait times are due to exhaustive, time-consuming analysis and simulation studies required to ensure that new energy source introductions don't compromise existing grid reliability, stability, or performance. To address this gap, the three organizations will combine their industry and technical expertise. The partnership draws on multiple Hitachi competencies for a complete solution: Method's design services; GlobalLogic's software engineering services; Hitachi Energy's energy portfolio management asset modeling solutions; Hitachi R&D's AI-based energy grid algorithm; and Hitachi Vantara's integrated storage and compute platform Hitachi iQ, built on NVIDIA accelerated computing, networking, and AI software. As the regional transmission organization (RTO) framing the project, SPP will guide the integration of these technical solutions and services, leveraging its deep expertise in energy grid optimization. As a reliability coordination prioritizing operational and customer experience improvements, SPP's input will also ensure the project outcomes align with industry-wide requirements and regulations. The integrated solution is an industrial AI system differentiated by its advanced proprietary AI algorithms and high performance enabled by Hitachi iQ's enterprise AI solution stack which sit at its core. Ultimately, dynamic AI-driven technologies will be applied to various study areas, such as: Process automation; Predictive analysis; Communication systems integration. The partnership with Hitachi and NVIDIA runs parallel to other improvements underway at SPP's integrated improvements underway at SPP's end-to-end technology.
