Hitachi by Hitachi in Ibaraki Prefecture disaster damage, Fukushima Hitachi design unit of the 4th of the first nuclear power plant also fails. Disaster issues will certainly affect the future development of Hitachi.

4 days before the earthquake of March 7, Hitachi has just issued a statement, the hard disk business sell to the United States West of data companies, to chase a future target “ dominated by fast-growing emerging market countries, focusing on social innovation business global growth ”.

in Japan IT industry has such an argument, known as the Japan Fujitsu last a dozen years of the first State-owned enterprises have been catch up with IBM, to become the world's largest manufacturer of IT equipment, but “ chasing chasing you see IBM, like marathon runners, front leader suddenly found to be not running. Fujitsu and transition from manufacturing to service ”.

now, just had the centenary of Hitachi decided to IBM as a competitor.

who also will meet with a 100 year old birthday, IBM, Hitachi does not like to complete the full product line of hardware and software acquisitions Oracle as aggressive, nothing like in 2006 year more than IBM as the world's largest IT vendors HP when worrying. Early

2010, Chairman and CEO Samuel J. Palmisano said IBM global world will enter the next decade “ wisdom ” era. In almost any occasion, the super salesman for IBM never mentioned names of Hitachi. But he may soon be aware of the opponents of the real.

in fact, IBM and Hitachi are already in “ wisdom city &rdquo project in the open tender of black dog. But in addition to big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, IBM and Hitachi are more deeply in the secondary cities like Nanjing, Shenyang, Chengdu, and so on, as well as the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, and Southwest. As compared to primary and secondary cities, they need to “ wisdom city ” solutions.

Hitachi data systems said Kevin Eggleston, Senior Vice President and Asia-Pacific, Hitachi data systems 45% of income today comes from software and services market. These businesses not only from products with IBM on the same and, as the most dazzling pearl in the Crown of the Hitachi Group, Hitachi data systems supported by the group, apart from consolidating their own storage system and its new development software, also integrates its server product line.

Hitachi seems to have shifted business focus of IBM areas, especially —— in China.

three months ago, Hitachi sign cooperation agreement with the Guangdong Provincial Government, to provide knowledge in Guangzhou City include management, control, renewable sources of energy, water and electric power information technology platform and related solutions, electric vehicles. Hitachi Hitachi established knowledge in Guangzhou City&Amp;ldquo; &rdquo wisdom city; research and Development Center, will focus on the development of wisdom city solutions, and “ use this as a base, the wisdom of the company's development in China city support provide the latest technology, products and systems &rdquo.
