Honest Scope
In short: This page covers “Hitachi Vantara Storage — Honest Scope” from the technical side, with honest scope. Emirtech installs and configures systems; it is not an auditor, certification body or legal adviser, so confirm the standard or regulation with the relevant authority, auditor or adviser.
Hitachi Vantara Storage — Honest Scope: key facts
| Who provides it? | Emirtech Technology, based at M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi, in operation since 2018. The work is carried out by Emirtech's own engineers. |
|---|---|
| Where? | Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, served from Emirtech's Mussafah, Abu Dhabi base; there is no Al Ain office. In Dubai: smart home, PABX and IP-PBX phone systems, IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself; CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating. |
| What is covered | Hitachi Vantara Storage — Honest Scope. |
| Survey and quotation | Emirtech publishes no price list: it surveys or assesses first and then gives a written, itemised quotation. |
| Credentials | Emirtech is an independent systems integrator. It holds no manufacturer-level credential of its own, and its ADMCC approval covers security systems only, not IT services. |
| Please note | General information, not legal, audit or certification advice. Emirtech is not an auditor, certification body or legal adviser; confirm the standard or regulation with the relevant authority, auditor or adviser. |

What Hitachi Vantara storage work do you actually deliver in Abu Dhabi?
Emirtech Technology is a systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) founded in 2018, based at M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi. We deliver commercial install, rack-and-stack, base configuration and lifecycle support for Hitachi Vantara enterprise storage across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) family we work with includes VSP One for modern unified workloads, VSP E series all-NVMe entry arrays, VSP G mid-range hybrid systems, VSP F all-flash mid-range, and the high-end VSP 5000, VSP 5500 and VSP 5600 platforms including mainframe connectivity. We configure Hitachi Storage Virtualization Operating System (SVOS RF), integrate Hitachi Ops Center cloud-style management, deploy Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) object storage, and support legacy Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) environments where customers still run them. Hitachi Vantara carries strong heritage in banking, telecommunications, healthcare and large-enterprise data centres at a premium price tier — most enterprise VSP estates require deep specialist expertise, firmware engineering and code-level support that only Hitachi Vantara itself or an authorised Hitachi specialist consultancy can deliver. We are transparent: Emirtech is NOT a Hitachi Authorised Partner, NOT a Hitachi Vantara Channel Partner, NOT a Gold or Platinum tier and we do not hold Hitachi-issued specialist certifications. We install and programme Control4 working with a third-party authorised dealer. For Hitachi Vantara VSP customers we recommend engaging Hitachi Vantara directly, or an authorised Hitachi specialist house, for warranty, microcode, mission-critical 24x7 support and architecture design. Emirtech sits alongside that relationship for racking, cabling, cabinet power, in-room implementation hands, Abu Dhabi delivery logistics and day-to-day operational coordination. To discuss your Hitachi VSP scope with honesty about what we cover and what belongs with the vendor, call +971 55 651 7843 or email [email protected].

Hitachi Vantara — boundaries we keep honest
What sits with Hitachi specialist consultancy, not us
Microcode & Firmware Upgrades
Hitachi SVOS RF microcode upgrades, non-disruptive firmware patching and entitlement-gated code drops belong with Hitachi Vantara Technical Support — we are not a Hitachi Authorised Partner with code access.
Mission-Critical 24x7 Support
VSP 5000 and high-end estates demand vendor 24x7 mission-critical support contracts. We are not a Hitachi-certified support partner — that contract sits directly with Hitachi Vantara or their authorised support house.
Architecture & Solution Design
Greenfield Hitachi data-fabric design, GAD active-active stretched clusters, UCP converged stack architecture and capacity modelling typically require Hitachi specialist consultancy — we coordinate, not design.
Mainframe FICON Engineering
z/OS FICON integration on VSP 5000 series is specialist work requiring Hitachi mainframe-trained engineers and IBM coordination. Our role is physical cabling and racking, not protocol engineering.
Scope — what we deliver and explicitly do not
Honest scope for Hitachi Vantara VSP estates serving Abu Dhabi and Al Ain customers — clarity matters more than marketing on premium enterprise storage platforms.
- We deliver: Hitachi VSP One, VSP E, VSP G, VSP F and VSP 5000 / 5500 / 5600 racking, cabling, base SVOS RF configuration, Hitachi Ops Center deployment, HCP object node implementation and Abu Dhabi delivery logistics — all coordinated with vendor or authorised Hitachi specialist house.
- We do not deliver: Hitachi-entitled microcode and firmware upgrades, 24x7 mission-critical vendor support, GAD active-active design, UCP converged architecture design, z/OS FICON mainframe engineering, or Hitachi-issued warranty replacement coordination.
- We are not: a Hitachi Vantara Authorised Partner, Hitachi Channel Partner, Hitachi Gold or Platinum tier, Hitachi Solutions Partner, Hitachi-certified support partner or Hitachi VSP-specialist certified engineering house. We hold no manufacturer-level credential of our own.
- We are not affiliated with: Hitachi Vantara, Hitachi Middle East, authorised Hitachi distributors in UAE, NetApp, Pure Storage, Dell EMC, HPE Alletra or IBM FlashSystem.
- Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are our priority areas, and in Dubai: smart home, PABX and IP-PBX phone systems, IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself, and CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating; we do not mobilise to Sharjah or the Northern Emirates.
- Our ADMCC approval is a company approval for security systems only; it does not cover data-centre site works, and we do not hold SIRA, ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS or PDPL certification.
- For enterprise Hitachi VSP customers we strongly recommend engaging Hitachi Vantara directly or an authorised Hitachi specialist consultancy as principal — Emirtech operates alongside that relationship, not in place of it.
If your Hitachi Vantara estate needs Abu Dhabi implementation hands while specialist engineering stays with the vendor, we are happy to scope honestly. Call +971 55 651 7843 or email [email protected].
Common questions
FAQs
Are you a Hitachi Vantara Authorised Partner or Channel Partner?
No. Emirtech is NOT a Hitachi Vantara Authorised Partner, NOT a Hitachi Channel Partner, NOT a Gold or Platinum tier and we do not hold Hitachi-issued specialist certifications. We install and configure VSP commercially via authorised UAE channels. We hold no manufacturer-level credential of our own. Our ADMCC approval covers security systems only, not storage or data-centre site works.
Which Hitachi VSP models do you actually handle on site?
Physical install, racking, cabling and base SVOS RF configuration on VSP One, VSP E series all-NVMe, VSP G mid-range, VSP F all-flash, and high-end VSP 5000, 5500 and 5600 including mainframe-connected frames. We also support Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) object nodes and legacy Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) environments.
Can you upgrade SVOS RF microcode or apply Hitachi firmware patches?
No. Hitachi SVOS RF microcode upgrades and firmware patches are entitlement-gated and require Hitachi Vantara Technical Support or an authorised Hitachi specialist support house. We do not hold code access. We coordinate around vendor maintenance windows and provide implementation hands.
Who should design our Hitachi VSP architecture and capacity model?
Hitachi Vantara directly or an authorised Hitachi specialist consultancy. Greenfield VSP design, Global-Active Device (GAD) stretched clusters, UCP converged architecture and multi-site replication topology require Hitachi-certified solution architects. We do not offer that design service — we deliver the physical implementation around it.
Do you provide 24x7 mission-critical support for VSP 5000 estates?
No. Emirtech is not a 24/7 SOC operator and we are not a Hitachi-certified support partner. Mission-critical 24x7 support contracts on VSP 5000, 5500 and 5600 sit directly with Hitachi Vantara or their authorised support house. We provide engagement-basis commercial services, not vendor-tier support.
How do I get a quote for Hitachi VSP implementation hands in Abu Dhabi?
