Arrow Quick Hit: Meet Hitachi Vantara's Virtual Storage Platform One

August 30, 2024 | Greg Shackelford

What is Virtual Storage Platform One?

Hitachi Vantara’s new Virtual Storage Platform One simplifies management with one common control plane across block, file, and object storage. Because all applications are managed as just one data platform, infrastructure becomes invisible and data silos melt away, giving data the flexibility to consume solutions. The result: total data freedom that allows applications to utilize any storage solution, anytime and anywhere. It all just fits together — infrastructure, data, apps — free from constraints. 

This new hybrid cloud storage solution from Hitachi Vantara offers complete visibility and interoperability of data that unlocks deeper insights faster to enhance business agility and operational excellence. Your customers will now be able to quickly respond to market needs while streamlining workflows and reducing the costs needed to gain a business advantage. 

Why should you care?

In today's data-driven world, mid-sized businesses face the same storage challenges as large enterprises, such as managing ever-growing data volumes, ensuring robust security, and achieving sustainability goals. However, unlike their larger counterparts, they often lack the dedicated IT resources to handle complex storage solutions.

Hitachi Vantara understands this challenge. That’s why they have introduced Virtual Storage Platform One block storage appliances—an innovative line of storage appliances specifically designed to address the unique needs of mid-sized businesses. With Virtual Storage Platform One, the same performance, resilience, and security enjoyed by Hitachi Vantara’s largest enterprise customers is now available to mid-sized enterprise buyers that don’t have large, dedicated storage teams. Virtual Storage Platform One is built for everyone, without sacrificing the flexibility, performance, or security of their system.

By offering unparalleled simplicity, sustainability, and security in a user-friendly package, Virtual Storage Platform One Block empowers mid-sized businesses to manage their data with greater ease and efficiency, which results in reduced stress for your customers with guaranteed data availability up to 100 percent!

How does it work?

With Virtual Storage Platform One, your customers will only need to make one decision, because everything is now on one platform. This powerful storage array exclusively combines a common data plane, a common control plane, and now a common data fabric for applications to consume on just one platform. So, your customers will no longer have separate solutions, infrastructures silos, or data silos. All storage will fit together perfectly—it’s truly all in one. 

Virtual Storage Platform One takes the complexity out of storage management, making it easier to configure, deploy, and manage. In addition, this array is designed to radically simplify the user experience by dramatically improving storage sustainability and revolutionizing security response.

Differentiation in the market

Virtual Storage Platform One is differentiated by the fact that it can be whatever type of storage it needs to be — whenever it's needed. This is cutting-edge innovation for the world's forward-thinking enterprises brought to you by Hitachi Vantara.

How do you position and sell Virtual Storage Platform One?

Today, many mid-sized businesses are managing dozens of individual storage solutions in complex architectures to support block, file, and object data types, as well as a variety of deployments across their organization. The challenge is this: these infrastructures, data types, and deployments lack integrations that create data and application silos, even when everything is from a single vendor. With multiple architectures and data silos to contend with, simplifying enterprise storage with automation at scale hasn’t been possible. Until now!
