Hitachi Vantara launches VSP One SDS on Google Cloud Marketplace
Hitachi Vantara has announced that its Virtual Storage Platform One Software-Defined Storage (VSP One SDS) is now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, expanding enterprise data management capabilities for cloud and hybrid environments.
Enterprise capabilities
The addition of VSP One SDS to Google Cloud Marketplace introduces cloud-native performance features for organisations utilising both cloud and on-premises infrastructures. New capabilities such as thin provisioning, advanced data compression, and two-way asynchronous replication support disaster recovery and service reliability, supporting enterprises aiming to optimise their hybrid cloud operations.
VSP One's built-in efficiency tools allow users to reduce storage costs by up to 40% through the minimisation of unused storage and optimised performance. Two-way replication between cloud and on-premises sites enables more resilient disaster recovery strategies and provides greater flexibility for business continuity, allowing for primary and secondary storage sites to operate interchangeably as the source and target during replication events.
Unified management
One of the key features highlighted is the ability for customers to manage both cloud and on-premises storage through a single user interface. This unified management approach removes the need for re-architecting current storage setups, streamlining hybrid operations for enterprises already employing complex infrastructures.
Channel partners are expected to benefit from this launch, with broader opportunities to support customers who are adapting their hybrid cloud strategies with a software-defined and more flexible approach. The integration offers partners tools to address priorities such as resilience, security, and ongoing operational efficiency improvements.
Industry context
Hybrid cloud adoption continues to grow among businesses. Research cited by Hitachi Vantara indicates that around 80% of companies use multiple public clouds while 60% maintain several private clouds. With the rise of artificial intelligence and data-driven processes, 47% of IT and security leaders surveyed reportedly experience challenges related to limited visibility in hybrid cloud environments, complicating risk management and oversight.
VSP One's features are positioned to address this, aiming to provide consistency and enhanced control across various deployment models. As organisations manage increasingly distributed data assets, these capabilities are intended to help reduce complexity and facilitate more efficient data movement and protection.
Statements from partners
"Bringing VSP One to Google Cloud Marketplace will help customers quickly deploy, manage and grow the data management solution on Google Cloud's trusted, global infrastructure. Hitachi Vantara can now securely scale and support customers on their digital transformation journeys," said Dai Vu, Managing Director, Marketplace & ISV GTM Programs, Google Cloud.
Octavian Tanase, Chief Product Officer at Hitachi Vantara, commented on the customer advantages of the expanded integration between VSP One and Google Cloud Marketplace. "Customers want the freedom to choose the right cloud for every workload and the assurance that their data will remain protected, available and easy to manage," he said. "With availability on Google Cloud Marketplace and the addition of two-way asynchronous replication, VSP One empowers our customers to easily streamline hybrid cloud operations while strengthening their resiliency posture."
Continuous availability
Hitachi Vantara reports that VSP One is designed for continuous availability, targeting 99.999% uptime. This level of service reliability aims to reduce the cost and disruption associated with downtime, supporting native migration of data between cloud and on-premises platforms as required.
The company states that access to these capabilities via Google Cloud Marketplace reflects an ongoing commitment to increase integration offered by the VSP One portfolio, including the previous introduction of VSP 360, a unified data management software platform.
