Diehard and maybe even not-so-diehard fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation may recognize Captain Picard talking to the Enterprise’s IT infrastructure, either directly to the Enterprise’s computer or to Data.

However, it has struggled to capture enterprise storage market share commensurate with the value its storage platform offers. To improve that positioning, Hitachi Vantara recently held an analyst-only summit to communicate its accomplishments and vision.
