(TSE: 6501), today announced the availability of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One. The hybrid cloud platform is poised to transform how organizations manage and leverage their data in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape.
With organizations struggling to scale data and modernize applications across complex, distributed, multi-cloud infrastructure, the need for a comprehensive data management solution across all data types has never been more critical. Results from a recent TDWI Data Management Maturity Assessment (DMMA) found while 71% of IT experts agreed that their organization values data, only 19% said a strong data management strategy was in place. Complicating matters are rising cyberattacks, which leave business leaders increasingly worried about security and resiliency. A recent survey showed that 68% of IT leaders are concerned their organization’s data infrastructure is resilient enough.
- Virtual Storage Platform One products available now include:
- · Virtual Storage Platform One SDS Block
- · Virtual Storage Platform One SDS Cloud

Virtual Storage Platform One simplifies infrastructure for mission-critical applications, with a focus on data availability and strong data resiliency and reliability measures, including mitigation of risks such as downtime, productivity losses, and security threats.

Virtual Storage Platform One tackles the challenges of modern data management by eliminating the constraints of data silos and allowing every piece of information to work cohesively and with the flexibility to scale up or down with ease, empowering data to thrive in an environment that prioritizes efficiency and speed. Additionally, Virtual Storage Platform One SDS Cloud is available in AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This offers businesses seamless integration and accessibility to leverage Hitachi Vantara’s cutting-edge data management solutions within AWS.
A New Era of Data Management
At the heart of Virtual Storage Platform One lies a unified data ecosystem that seamlessly integrates block and file storage, eliminating data silos and fragmented landscapes.

Nurasoi Celebrates Women Entrepreneur Team
Ahmedabad,18th April 2024:Vyndo by NURASOI celebrated and empowered women entrepreneurs who came together as a robust sales network of the brand by organizing an inspiring meet-and-greet gala evening with the Vyndo family. The event was designed to create a deep connection with them and instill a sense of belongingness with the team.
Having reached a promising number of 30 since company’s inception in December 2023, this group of ladies has contributed substantially towards the total sales of the brand. Rightly named “Nu-Naari,” a term that combines “Nu” from Nurasoi with the Hindi word for “women of today,” these enterprising women have propelled Vyndo, the first brand in line from the house of Nurasoi to establish itself in the market.
The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as the Nu-Naaries interacted with Nurasoi executives and amongst themselves. The event resonated deeply with them all, as evidenced by their heartfelt testimonials. Many expressed a sense of overwhelming joy at finally being recognized not just as wives or mothers but as individuals with their own identities and entrepreneurial spirit. This recognition, they shared, provided a powerful sense of motivation and empowerment, successfully coinciding with the objective with which this assemblage was created.
A highly excited Jayshree Ben said, “I endorse Vyndo snacks with a lot of pride. The fact that Vyndo is not just any other millet snack but is an outcome of profound research & development combined with latest technological advancements, makes it easier for me to find new clients and retain the older ones.”
Representing the emotion of Nu-Naaries, Mayuri said, “While countless communities work tirelessly for the underprivileged, the hidden struggles of women who prioritize family over their aspirations often go unnoticed. It’s incredibly motivating to be recognized and be able to make an income while staying home; seamlessly striking a balance between work and family.”
Seeing an overwhelming response received from the ladies, co-founder Dietician Komal Patel said, “My passion goes beyond simply creating healthy eating plans for my clients. It deeply troubles me to see our overall health habits declining. Which is why I’m eternally grateful to these amazing women who empower me to reach more women and ultimately, their families. After all, women are often the primary caregivers, and these Nu-Naaries are my powerful allies in this mission!”
Chandan Maloo, co-founder Nurasoi too shared the faith he has in the endurance women carry by saying, “We are fortunate to have such an incredible team of women with us! I am sure they don’t know what they are truly doing – they are not merely selling healthy snacks but creating an entire ecosystem of healthy habits by conditioning minds and inculcating healthy habits from one family to another. This is exactly what we as a brand aim for! To change the way we snack.”
The Head of Nu-Naari department Ruchi Vyas remarked, “We endeavor to put together an incredible team that believes in our intent towards creating a healthier ecosystem. In this ongoing journey, we seek to provide a sense of self-reliance to Nu-Naaries empowering them to achieve their dreams, to be well-appreciated for their efforts, and to be completely independent.”
Nurasoi is proud to have such a dedicated and impactful team of women leading the charge in healthy snacking. Committed to changing the snacking landscape, Nurasoi has created a well-spanned-out web that is successfully delivering health in the form of any-time, on-the-go millet based clean and healthy snacks under the name of Vyndo.

Author Bruce Tarver’s New Book The Big Tree
New York, NY, April 17, 2024 –Bruce Tarver, who grew up in south Mississippi, central Arkansas, and southwest Louisiana, has completed his new book, “The Big Tree”: a comprehensive overview of the author’s family tree, stretching back to the pre-Civil War era of the South, exploring the various careers, relationships, and contributions to the United States throughout each decade that makes the author’s genealogy so fascinating.
After graduating from Lake Charles High School, author Bruce Tarver joined the US Air Force and served four years as security police. He is a Vietnam veteran, having traveled quite a bit during his tour of duty, and was married to his first wife for twenty-nine years, which brought him two loving daughters. After an honorable discharge and several campaign medals, Bruce went to work as an aircraft mechanic and graduated from Sowela Technical Institute in 1987 and earned a degree in science and technology from McNeese State University. Following the deaths of his first wife and his second wife of fifteen years, Bruce devotes his time to genealogy and shares his days with his companion and five puppies.
Bruce shares, “Featuring the Tarver, Rollins, Cook, and Laird Families of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas; including their migration north, east, and west. Families migrated to and from the old South, settling in places from California, Virginia, Florida throughout these United States. Cultures and traditions were passed down, merged, and spread from generation to generation.
“Throughout the history of this family, God is ever-present in the lives of all of them. They were God-fearing, Jesus-loving, Bible-believing people whose lives centered on their family and their church. There are over eight hundred names of our family spanning the pre–Civil War and post–Civil War era agrarian society to the modern mechanized culture—farmers’ families turned into pastors, factory workers, mechanics, philanthropists, businessmen, doctors, nurses, and soldiers. This family is particularly focused around ‘the Greatest Generation,’ the generation that provided the men and women needed to stop the spread of the dictators’ empires of World War II.”

Author S. I. McDonald’s New Book The Atavist Effect: Rika’s Run
New York, NY, April 17, 2024 –– S. I. McDonald, a debut author and educator who currently resides in Alaska, has completed his new book, “The Atavist Effect: Rika’s Run”: a compelling speculative fiction story that explores how the world collapsed in the late twenty-first century, leading to the age of cold-steam and the maker cultures that put faith, family, and freedom against overwhelmingly powerful odds.
Born in the shadow of NASA’s Cape Canaveral in Florida, author S. I. McDonald raised his children in the shade of Kodiak Island’s rocket launch facility nicknamed the Other Cape. McDonald and his wife left the Lower 48 for an amazing adventure in Alaska. As an educator for three decades, responsible for educating Alaska’s children in remote communities from the Kodiak Archipelago to the shores of the Arctic Ocean, McDonald has been recognized nationally for prioritizing career technology and promoting place-based education. He spends his evenings writing and imagining a world where children and adults acquire the skills to build and sustain self-determined communities. With a doctorate in education and an imagination bigger than all the walls of a classroom could ever hold, McDonald is committed to writing books that broaden curiosities with the fantastic and ground the mind in the possible.
“Introducing the first book in a speculative fiction series called ‘The Atavist Effect: Rika’s Run,’ this sets the framework of an epic tale that starts with the actions of unlikely characters, whose pursuit of their faith, family, and freedom put them against distant, seemingly all-powerful forces. The story is told from the twenty-second century through the research of a maker’s apprentice trying to keep a seat in the qargi, the maker school. Like a complex puzzle, he pieces together old family stories to discover how a girl changed the events of the twenty-first century. On a stolen flying contraption and searching for her brother, Rika sowed the seeds of rebellion against technocratic globalists quietly seizing control and restricting people’s freedoms,” writes the author.
“The storyteller already knows that the world collapsed in the late twenty-first century; after all, it is a part of the curriculum in school. But the mystery is how it happened and how it all came back together. How do the choices of the previous generations impact the present? What is the right response when faced with difficult decisions against impossible odds?”
