Pioneering Innovation in Cloud Integration, Ransomware Protection, and Enterprise Performance

Hitachi Vantara, the data storage, infrastructure, and hybrid cloud management arm of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501), proudly announces its recognition as a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar Report for Primary Storage. This acknowledgment highlights the excellence of the Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) in addressing the evolving data storage demands of modern enterprises.

Why Hitachi Vantara Stands Out

The GigaOm Radar Report evaluated 21 vendors based on their ability to meet enterprise needs across traditional applications, hybrid cloud integration, AI/ML workloads, and edge computing environments. Hitachi Vantara’s VSP One emerged as a standout performer, receiving top marks for:

NVMe-oF Support: High-performance storage network architecture designed for flexibility and scalability.

Seamless Cloud Integration: Comprehensive hybrid cloud capabilities, including replication, automated tiering, and virtual appliances.

Ransomware Protection: Advanced storage-level defenses such as immutability, air-gapping, and proactive detection mechanisms.

Innovation Driving Leadership

"The primary storage market has evolved significantly, driven by AI adoption, escalating ransomware threats, and the growing need for seamless cloud integration," said Whit Walters, Field CTO and Analyst at GigaOm. "Hitachi Vantara’s VSP One excels in delivering on these fronts, combining innovation, adaptability, and performance that set a benchmark for the industry."

The GigaOm report highlights VSP One's versatility in managing diverse workloads, from traditional enterprise systems to cutting-edge edge-to-core architectures. Its non-disruptive upgrades, flexible licensing models, and future-ready design position it as an ideal platform for enterprises prioritizing sustainability, cost efficiency, and security.

Addressing Key Enterprise Challenges

The demand for reliable, scalable, and secure storage solutions has never been higher. Enterprises face growing challenges such as:

Rapid Data Growth: AI and analytics workloads are driving exponential increases in storage needs.

Cybersecurity Threats: Over 54% of organizations rank data storage security as their top concern.

Operational Resilience: Downtime or significant data loss could be catastrophic for 74% of enterprises.

Hitachi Vantara’s VSP One addresses these concerns with industry-leading resilience, adaptability, and security features, empowering businesses to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Sustainability and Future-Ready Infrastructure

Sustainability remains at the heart of Hitachi Vantara's innovation. The ENERGY STAR® recognition recently placed VSP One among the top three energy-efficient storage solutions, aligning with GigaOm's emphasis on power efficiency, carbon footprint reduction, and ESG compliance.

"This recognition reflects our relentless pursuit of innovation, performance, and security for our customers," said Octavian Tanase, Chief Product Officer at Hitachi Vantara. "VSP One is more than just a storage platform—it’s a foundation for organizations to build a secure, scalable, and sustainable digital future."
