Hitachi Vantara, the data storage, infrastructure, and hybrid cloud management subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., is announcing new solutions for its Virtual Storage Platform One data platform designed around enhancing storage and data management for AI and analytics workloads. Now offering a quad-level cell (QLC) flash storage array with public cloud replication and an object storage appliance, Hitachi Vantara brings improved simplicity, security, and sustainable scalability to the enterprise, according to the company.
Responding to the ramping compute demands that the AI and hybrid/multi-cloud era brings, Hitachi Vantara’s latest release strikes the balance between scaling data infrastructures, modernizing applications, and ensuring initiatives remain both eco- and budget-friendly.
“Enterprises today are navigating an incredibly complex data landscape, with hybrid and multi-cloud environments and the growing influence of GenAI transforming how they operate,” said Octavian Tanase, chief product officer, Hitachi Vantara. “Our latest Virtual Storage Platform One solutions are designed to address these challenges head-on, providing customers with the advanced tools they need to harness their data, drive innovation, and achieve sustainable growth. By simplifying infrastructure and enhancing scalability, we are empowering businesses to unlock the full potential of their data in ways that were previously unimaginable.”
As part of Hitachi Vantara’s updates to its platform, the new all-QLC flash storage array brings seamless scalability and reduced cost per gigabyte to the enterprise table. The all-QLC flash storage array is not only an economical choice for large-scale data storage needs, but one that centers performance, uptime, and reliability with a dual port QLC media in case of hardware failure. Capable of scaling to meet the demands of large quantities of unstructured data, this new storage offering helps reduce energy usage, lower carbon footprints, and simplify data lifecycle management, according to the company.
Hitachi Vantara’s storage innovation consists of two major components: Virtual Storage Platform One Block and Virtual Storage Platform One Object.
Virtual Storage Platform One Block is Hitachi Vantara’s all-QLC flash storage array with public cloud replication, enabling organizations to leverage QLC flash technology while benefiting from high-density, cost-effective storage complemented by seamless data backup and replication.
The Virtual Storage Platform One Object solution merges the powers of durability and reliability for large AI workloads, helping optimize costs while reducing rack space, power consumption, and CO2 emissions. Designed specifically for scalability and massive data management, Virtual Storage Platform One Object offers multi-node configurations for ensuring data availability and integrity—ideal for media, healthcare, and finance industries, according to Hitachi Vantara.
“The addition of all-QLC flash and object storage appliance provides a compelling solution for organizations looking to manage large-scale data environments efficiently," said Scott Sinclair, practice director for cloud, infrastructure and DevOps at Enterprise Strategy Group. “Hitachi Vantara continues to address the pressing needs of modern IT infrastructure, which helps businesses stay competitive in an era defined by data-driven innovation.”
