Hitachi Vantara has launched Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) Block High End in India, expanding its all-flash NVMe storage portfolio with a system designed to meet the growing performance and resilience demands of modern enterprise and AI workloads. The new platform completes the company’s VSP One data platform strategy and targets organizations looking to modernize their digital core amid rapid data growth and real-time analytics needs.
Enterprises globally are grappling with infrastructure challenges as AI adoption accelerates. Hitachi Vantara pointed to recent research showing that more than 70 percent of respondents believe their existing IT environments are not prepared for future machine learning and AI workloads. Another report found over half of IT leaders managing data across a mix of on-premises, private, hybrid, sovereign, and public clouds, reinforcing the need for unified and resilient storage systems.
VSP One Block High End is designed to address this complexity, offering high availability, advanced cyber resilience, and performance at scale. Built for both open systems and mainframe environments, the platform aims to reduce latency for high-performance databases, support uninterrupted access to critical applications such as healthcare systems, and provide the foundation required for AI-driven operations.
According to Hitachi Vantara, the system supports up to 50 million IOPS, offers hardware-accelerated compression, and delivers up to 346TB per rack unit. The platform features FIPS 140-3 Level 2 certified protection and eight nines of availability. Its Cyber Resilience Guarantee is designed to help organizations achieve near-zero data loss with rapid recovery capabilities.
Company executives said VSP One Block High End aims to help enterprises rethink how they capture, manage, protect, and scale data as they enter the next phase of AI-driven transformation.
The platform is built around three pillars: secure resilience, simplified performance and management, and sustainable scalability. It includes immutable snapshots, automated recovery, and anomaly detection powered by CyberSense. Hitachi Vantara also offers a 100 percent data availability guarantee and support for clean data recovery in ransomware scenarios. The solution aligns with the U.S. government’s Secure Software Development Framework, validated by a third party and confirmed by CISA.
For customers looking to consolidate storage, the platform supports block, file, object, and mainframe workloads. It scales up to 12 controllers and 288 60TB SSDs and includes connectivity options such as 100G NVMe-over-TCP and 64G Fibre Channel.
The launch is accompanied by updates to VSP 360, the company’s unified data management suite, which provides fleet-wide management, installation support, guided workflows, mobile access, and AIOps-powered analytics. VSP One is also supported across major public clouds including Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.
Enterprise customers and partners noted that the new platform arrives at a time when AI initiatives are straining existing infrastructure and organizations are seeking systems that can handle exponential data growth while maintaining operational continuity.
Industry analysts said VSP One Block High End is positioned to help enterprises modernize their digital core with a unified architecture and guaranteed performance, supporting the shift toward high-performance, data-intensive environments driven by AI and real-time analytics.
