HCP is the heir to the line of solutions of Archivas, a publisher bought by the Japanese manufacturer in 2007. The platform of Hitachi is actually made up of several components including HCP which is the heart of the platform of Object Storage , HCP Anywhere, which provides advanced file sharing and synchronization services over HCP and Hitachi Data Ingestor an appliance that allows businesses to ingest data into HCP via traditional NAS protocols .

HCP has evolved a lot in recent years. The latest evolution of the platform is based on a distributed storage architecture based on standard x86 nodes (HCP S10 nodes) and makes use of erasure code techniques to ensure data security. It is possible via HCP to drive multiple S10 clusters (with a maximum unit capacity of 18 Po) to provide exascale class capabilities.

Note that HCP also knows how to consume the storage capacity of traditional bays for its own needs via the HCP 500 nodes.

One of the strengths of HCP is the robustness of its multitenant capabilities, replication and geo-replication capabilities, and WORM mode support for archiving applications. HCP has its own API and also supports the S3 and Swift APIs .

The S3 support serves as a basic addition to integration between HCP and Hadoop . Hitachi does not currently support native SAN or NAS access over HCP. On the other hand, the HDI gateways (Hitachi Data Ingestor) of the manufacturer allow access via NAS protocols to the data contained in HCP.

Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) is part of the Magic Quadrant for object storage and clustered file system actors seen by Gartner (Gartner source, October 2016) where it is cataloged as a "challenger".
