Hitachi Vantara Supercharges Hybrid Cloud Storage with QLC Flash and Scalable Object Storage Solutions

As data volumes surge and hybrid cloud environments become the norm, solution providers and IT leaders are under pressure to modernize infrastructure while controlling costs and carbon footprints. Hitachi Vantara’s latest updates to its Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) One aim to solve these challenges, delivering innovative solutions tailored for AI, analytics, and unstructured data workloads.

With the introduction of all-QLC flash storage and an object storage appliance, Hitachi Vantara’s platform empowers organizations to tackle the complexities of modern data management with efficiency. Channel partners can leverage these advancements to offer clients scalable, secure, and sustainable solutions.

Tackling Data Growth: QLC Flash and Object Storage

Managing data growth in hybrid and multi-cloud environments is a top concern for enterprises and solution providers today. Rising costs, complexity, and energy demands make traditional storage solutions unsustainable for scaling AI and analytics workloads.

Greg Bucyk, VP of Partner Strategy, GTM and Strategic Alliances, at Hitachi Vantara explains in a recent discussion, “As AI becomes more pervasive, businesses must also acknowledge that it will generate data at a rate that surpasses what we’ve seen in the past.” He adds, “The question then becomes: How do we manage this data?”

To address these challenges, Hitachi Vantara has launched two key innovations:

  • All-QLC Flash Storage Array. VSP One Block, the all-QLC flash storage array, offers high-density storage at a lower cost per gigabyte. Its energy efficiency and reduced power consumption make it an eco-friendly option for businesses seeking to lower operational costs and meet sustainability goals. In addition, the inclusion of public cloud replication ensures seamless disaster recovery and enhanced data availability, enabling enterprises to maintain uptime and resilience.
  • Object Storage Appliance. Built for unstructured data, the VSP One Object solution provides scalability to handle the data explosion from AI and machine learning use cases. With rich metadata for each object, it enhances categorization and retrieval, enabling faster data access while improving lifecycle management.

Simplified, Unified Data Management for the Channel

These updates complement the existing VSP One SDS Cloud, a software-defined solution that supports asynchronous replication between on-premises and public cloud environments.

For channel providers, Hitachi Vantara VSP One presents a clear opportunity to offer clients solutions tailored to the demands of a modern data-centric world. By simplifying infrastructure and lowering energy costs, partners can empower their customers to scale with confidence, enhance operational resilience, and align IT goals with sustainability mandates.

Scott Sinclair, Practice Director for Cloud, Infrastructure, and DevOps at Enterprise Strategy Group, says this about the solutions in a recent statement: “The addition of all-QLC flash and object storage appliance provides a compelling solution for organizations looking to manage large-scale data environments efficiently.” He adds, “Hitachi Vantara continues to address the pressing needs of modern IT infrastructure, enabling businesses to stay competitive in an era defined by data-driven innovation.”
