Hitachi is merging the Hitachi Vantara and Hitachi Consulting businesses under the Hitachi Vantara brand, with effect from January 2020.
Hitachi Vantara supplies VSP storage array, servers and business analytics software based around its 2015 Pentaho acquisition and others.
The new entity is to be led by chairman and CEO Toshiaki Tokunaga, who chairs Hitachi Global Digital Holdings, the holding company that oversees Hitachi Vantara and Hitachi Consulting.
Brian Householder, current Hitachi Vantara CEO, and Hicham Abdessamad, CEO of Hitachi Consulting, will remain at Hitachi in executive leadership positions.
Tokunaga is board chairman for Hitachi Global Digital Holdings and it is unlikely he will remain as the CEO exerting day-to-day control of the new Hitachi Vantara.
