As businesses face unprecedented challenges managing data among the proliferation of generative AI, cloud technologies, and exponential data growth, Hitachi Vantara, the data storage, infrastructure, and hybrid cloud management subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., has released Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One, a hybrid cloud platform to help organizations manage and leverage their data in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape.
With organizations struggling to scale data and modernize applications across complex, distributed, multicloud infrastructure, the need for a comprehensive data management solution across all data types has never been more critical. A recent study found today’s typical large organizations hoarding an average of 35 petabytes of data across their systems. By 2025, decision-makers expect to store nearly double that, an average of 65 petabytes. Additionally, results from a recent TDWI Data Management Maturity Assessment (DMMA) found while 73% of IT experts agreed that decision-makers value data and 71% agreed that their organization values data, only 19% said a strong data management strategy was in place—and close to half (45%) said their strategy wasn’t communicated.
Virtual Storage Platform One tackles the challenges of modern data management by eliminating constraints of data silos and allowing every piece of information to work cohesively.
Enterprises can scale with ease, empowering their data to thrive in an environment that prioritizes efficiency and speed.
Virtual Storage Platform One Products available now include:
- Virtual Storage Platform One SDS Block
- Virtual Storage Platform One SDS Cloud on AWS marketplace
- Virtual Storage Platform One File
A New Era of Data Management
At the heart of Virtual Storage Platform One lies a unified data ecosystem that seamlessly integrates block and file storage, eliminating data silos and fragmented landscapes. Powered by Hitachi Storage Virtualization Operating System (SVOS), Virtual Storage Platform One ensures every piece of information is collected, integrated, and accessible from any device or location, making it easier to access, view, and make smarter business decisions.
Security is paramount with Virtual Storage Platform One, with a focus on data availability for mission-critical workloads and mitigation of risks such as downtime, productivity losses, and security threats.
The hybrid cloud platform sets itself apart from competitors with key differentiators that redefine the data management landscape:
- One data plane. Intelligent infrastructure placement ensures data resides on the right solution for the application, with the flexibility to move based on policy.
- Infinite scale-out. Virtual Storage Platform One modernizes storage clustering with cloud-like availability zones, enabling nearly unlimited scale-out capabilities.
- Integrated copy data management. Fault tolerance and global availability are achieved without compromising performance through replication and synchronous active-active storage clusters.
- Cloud self-service. End users can rapidly consume advanced data services such as replication at cloud-scale, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
- Intelligent workload management. Storage pools are optimized through dynamic workload assignment and rebalancing, adapting to changing conditions without manual intervention.
