Hitachi Content Platform vs FileCloud

Object Storage VS File Storage

HCP is an object storage software solution that stores data in a central cloud storage platform. FileCloud is a file storage solution offering on-premises as well as a cloud solution giving you more control over your data and much more security. While object storage may offers scalability and flexibility, many performance and other issues have limited its adoption. FileCloud provides much more flexibility without any performance issues.

Fits Every Organization

FileCloud fits every organizational structure as the storage can be customized according to the business needs. We also offer whitelabel options to use your own logo and custom login screen. FileCloud offers a robust ROI with unlimited external accounts. Hitachi Content Platform doesn’t offer many useful features like device management, data leak protection, metadata, content classification and much more.

HCP Limitations

HCP uses custom software from Hitachi and standard Hitachi block storage systems which restricts HCP to be used with other hardware systems unlike FileCloud. Operating systems can’t easily mount object storage like a normal disk. Another issue HCP faces is managing a traditional database is difficult due to high latency. FileCloud file storage, offers a network drive, web interface to access files online, a powerful admin interface & granular file-sharing.

Some of the Differences Between FileCloud and Hitachi

FileCloud is more suitable for a business entity compared to HCP. For instance, on a file system like FileCloud, you can easily append a line to the end of a log file. On an object storage system like Hitachi Content Platform, you would need to access the object from the cloud, add the new line, and write the entire object back which makes object storage less ideal for data that changes very frequently.
