Navigate the New Era of Data Management in Mid-Sized Enterprises

In the modern digital landscape, data grows at an astonishing rate. Mid-sized enterprises struggle to manage its volume and velocity, let alone its value. Today’s complex data environments must span hybrid and multicloud setups. And as transformative technologies like generative AI (GenAI) matter more to business operations, they must manage skyrocketing demand for sophisticated, flexible and scalable data solutions.

With that exact challenge in mind, Hitachi Vantara designed our latest suite of solutions. By simplifying infrastructure, enhancing scalability and empowering data-driven innovation, Hitachi Vantara is giving back to mid-sized enterprises the ability to find and use the potential that lies within their data.

Let’s look closer at how we’re achieving this and what it means for you and your customers.

Introducing the Evolution of the VSP One Data Platform

Data management has always been central to business success, and with the new extensions to Hitachi Vantara’s Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) data platform, we’re bringing that vision to the next level. VSP One delivers efficiency, reliability and sustainability, making it ideal for enterprises navigating the modern data landscape.

VSP One redefines data management. Each offering enhances the overall data experience, making storage, management and analysis seamless and secure. Here’s a quick breakdown of each product and what it brings to your table:

VSP One Block with QLC

One exciting addition to the VSP One family is the dual-port VSP One Block with QLC flash array. Designed for high-density storage, this all-QLC solution is incredibly cost-effective while reducing power consumption and, in turn, lowering CO2 emissions. Its dual-port design ensures data availability, even in the case of hardware failure, making it an exceptionally reliable option for you and your customers.

VSP One Software-Defined Storage with Asynchronous Replication

Asynchronous replication enhances data protection by enabling efficient cloud replication. This feature is easily activated through a user-friendly GUI and supports multiple availability zones. Its ability to replicate data to the cloud improves accessibility for application development and testing teams without impacting performance in production environments.

VSP One Object

Next up is VSP One Object, an object storage appliance we engineered for scalability. Able to handle vast amounts of unstructured data – think images, videos and massive datasets – VSP One Object gives you rich metadata features that help categorize, search and manage data. It overhauls data management for industries like media, healthcare and finance, where efficiently managing large datasets is essential to core business initiatives.

With multi-node configurations, VSP One Object is durable and reliable, ensuring data integrity and availability. This storage workhorse is the ideal addition to any enterprise that needs to scale up while maintaining a secure and manageable data environment.

An Evolving Platform for Evolving Needs

With these expansions, Hitachi’s VSP One has become an even more powerful end-to-end solution for hybrid cloud and mid-sized enterprises. By unifying data management across diverse environments – whether on-premises, in the cloud or at the edge – VSP One helps your customers stay focused on their goals, not on managing their infrastructure.

This expanded suite offers several important benefits. With simplified data management, it streamlines storage, replication and analytics so teams can focus on what matters. Its enhanced security is built with robust data protection to be sure data remains safe and compliant. The energy-efficient and scalable VSP One supports sustainable growth without sacrificing performance.
