Hitachi Vantara, a prominent player in data storage and cloud management, has introduced new features for its Virtual Storage Platform One Software-Defined Storage (VSP One SDS). These updates are now accessible via the Google Cloud Marketplace.
The enhanced features aim to bring enterprise-level advantages to the public cloud; highlighting capabilities such as two-way asynchronous replication, thin provisioning, and advanced data compression. Enterprises can now benefit from increased flexibility, improved data efficiencies, superior disaster recovery options, and streamlined data mobility across both on-premises and cloud ecosystems.
As businesses increasingly integrate hybrid cloud architectures, a blend of public and private clouds is becoming essential. A cloud adoption report from 2025 indicates that nearly 80% of companies are utilising multiple public clouds, and 60% are running numerous private clouds. This growing trend necessitates consistency and control across complex infrastructures. Simultaneously, the rise of AI dramatically boosts data storage needs.
The challenges are notable; 47% of IT and security leaders struggle with limited visibility across their hybrid environments, complicating risk management and maintaining control.
With its launch on Google Cloud Marketplace, VSP One offers users the freedom to deploy storage resources seamlessly across cloud and on-premises environments through a singular management interface—requiring no re-architecting. Key features, including thin provisioning and compression, allow for cloud storage cost reductions by up to 40%. These capabilities furnish customers with the tools needed for maximum efficiency and performance, minimising overhead costs.
The integration also strengthens disaster recovery strategies with two-way asynchronous replication, facilitating the dual-functionality of primary and secondary sites.
"Bringing VSP One to Google Cloud Marketplace will help customers quickly deploy, manage and grow the data management solution..." said Dai Vu, managing director at Google Cloud.
Designed to support high reliability and uptime—critical to businesses facing potential downtime or re-architecture expenses—VSP One targets a robust availability benchmark of 99.999% uptime. This ensures businesses can consistently sustain operations, regardless of unexpected outages.
“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. 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,” said Octavian Tanase, Chief Product Officer.
This development also opens up vast opportunities for Hitachi Vantara channel partners, enabling them to better support evolving hybrid cloud strategies. The advanced offering champions a flexible, software-defined method and deeper Google Cloud integration, allowing partners to tackle key priorities like resilience, security, and sustainability.
The addition of VSP One to the Google Cloud Marketplace is a testament to Hitachi Vantara's unwavering commitment to advancing the VSP One platform. The initiative subsequently complements the recent unveiling of VSP 360, a cohesive data management platform designed to simplify the user experience with transparent data and infrastructure insights.
