Overview

The Hitachi Object Storage connector in DryvIQ enables you to analyze, migrate, copy, and synchronize files between your Amazon S3-compatible storage system (managed by Hitachi Content Platform for cloud-scale storage) and other cloud storage repositories, as well as on-premises network file shares. The first step is to establish the connection by providing the necessary connection information for DryvIQ to connect to the platform. The connector can be created using any account with permissions to access the content.
