Hitachi Vantara Selects Cylix as Emerging Partner of the Year 2025 for Canada
Cylix Applied Intelligence has been named Hitachi Vantara‘s Emerging Partner of the Year 2025 for Canada, recognizing the growth of our partnership and the work our teams are doing together across enterprise AI, data, and infrastructure.
This is an important achievement for the team here at Cylix and reflects the progress we have made alongside Hitachi Vantara in helping organizations connect the technology, data, and infrastructure required to move AI initiatives into production.
For Cylix, it is also recognition of a broader approach to enterprise AI: bringing strategy, engineering, infrastructure, deployment, and ongoing operations together rather than treating each stage as a separate technology project.
The Growing Partnership Between Cylix and Hitachi Vantara
Matt Nalbandian of Hitachi Vantara shared the recognition on LinkedIn:
“Congratulations to Cylix, Hitachi Vantara’s Emerging Partner of the Year 2025 for Canada!
In just over a year of partnership, Cylix has earned this well-deserved recognition. They have quickly become a valued part of our strategic AI go-to-market strategy.
Congratulations to Ross and the entire Cylix team on this outstanding achievement.”
That relationship has continued to develop around a shared focus on the infrastructure and data foundations required to support enterprise AI.
Cylix and Hitachi Vantara have already worked together alongside OneQode on the Sovereign AI Factory initiative, focused on infrastructure that gives organizations greater control over their data, compute environments, and regulatory requirements.
The Emerging Partner of the Year recognition indicates the progress of that relationship and the growing role Cylix plays within Hitachi Vantara’s AI partner ecosystem here in Canada.
Building the Infrastructure for Enterprise AI
Enterprise AI rarely wins with a model or application alone.
Your business needs data environments that can support AI workloads, infrastructure that can scale to meet demanding compute workloads, governance that defines how systems interact with enterprise information, and operational processes that keep those systems reliable after deployment.
That makes AI as much an infrastructure and data decision as a software decision.
Hitachi Vantara has profound experience in enterprise data infrastructure, storage, and hybrid environments. Cylix brings those technologies into a broader enterprise AI lifecycle, including assessment, data engineering, AI development, infrastructure, deployment, and ongoing operations.
Our data engineering work prepares fragmented enterprise information for AI, analytics, retrieval, and automation. From there, we can build artificial intelligence systems around production requirements, instead of isolated proof-of-concepts.
From AI Strategy All the Way to Production
The recognition from Hitachi Vantara aligns closely with what Cylix is building as a company.
Our focus is on helping enterprises move from identifying where AI can create value to building and operating the technical environment required to deliver that value.
The Cylix AI Fabric supports that model by providing a governed layer between enterprise agents and the data, models, tools, and infrastructure they rely on. Rather than building every AI capability as an isolated system, organizations can create a common foundation for routing, identity, governance, and operations.
Cylix then remains involved beyond deployment through managed AI, connecting AI engineering with the monitoring, infrastructure management, and operational support required to keep production systems running.
Technology partnerships such as our relationship with Hitachi Vantara are a key part of that approach. Enterprise AI depends on strong connections between data, compute, software, governance, and operations, and those layers need to work together from the start.
Strengthening Our Enterprise AI Partnership with Hitachi Vantara
Being named Hitachi Vantara’s Emerging Partner of the Year 2025 for Canada is an achievement we are proud to share, but it also reflects the direction of the relationship we are continuing to build.
As enterprises move more AI workloads into production, questions around data architecture, infrastructure, security, governance, workload placement, and long-term operations are becoming central to AI strategy.
Cylix and Hitachi Vantara are well positioned to work together across those requirements.
We would like to thank the Hitachi Vantara team for the recognition and continued partnership and congratulate everyone across Cylix whose work contributed to this achievement.
We look forward to continuing to build together and helping more organizations turn enterprise AI strategies into secure, production-ready systems.
