Frequently Asked Questions

VSP One software‑defined storage (SDS) is Hitachi Vantara’s unified, software‑defined storage platform that delivers scalable block and cloud storage with centralized management across hybrid cloud environments.

  • Unified & scalable: Single data plane across on‑prem and cloud, scaling from TBs to PBs with high performance and resiliency.
  • Simple & efficient: Centralized management via VSP 360, with cost savings and protection features for modern workloads.

VSP One SDS is flexible and scalable software‑defined storage that runs on certified x86 servers or Hitachi Vantara hardware and scales non‑disruptively without rip‑and‑replace upgrades.

  • Hardware choice: VSP One SDS runs on validated x86 third‑party servers or Hitachi Vantara hardware, giving customers deployment flexibility.
  • Non‑disruptive scale: Capacity and performance scale linearly by adding nodes, avoiding forklift upgrades common in traditional storage.

No—VSP One SDS does not require new or pre‑certified hardware, as it is hardware‑independent and runs on existing x86 servers validated through Hitachi Vantara’s self‑certification process.

  • Use what you have: VSP One SDS runs on standard x86 servers and networking, eliminating the need for proprietary or bundled hardware.
  • Self‑certify at your pace: Customers can certify new server models (e.g., HPE, Supermicro) as they’re added, with support tracked in the Product Compatibility Guide.

VSP One SDS delivers data protection, security, and high availability through always‑on software‑based resiliency, encryption, and multi‑availability‑zone architectures across hybrid cloud.

  • Protected & always available: Multi‑AZ support, asynchronous replication, and Hitachi Polyphase Erasure Coding (HPEC) enable resilience, fast recovery, and continuous operations.
  • Secure by design: Built‑in data‑at‑rest encryption, continuous monitoring, and a 100% data availability, with VSP One Block, guarantee protect critical data at scale.

VSP One SDS is designed for enterprise block workloads that require consistent, high performance and linear scalability across on‑premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.

  • Core enterprise workloads: Mission‑critical applications, databases, and containers that demand predictable performance and high availability.
  • Modern IT use cases: Dev/Test, cloud migration, and hybrid operations that need scalable storage with incremental protection and resiliency.

VSP One SDS supports hybrid and public cloud deployments by delivering a single control plane and single data plane across on‑premises and public cloud environments for consistent operations and data services.

  • Hybrid & multi‑cloud ready: Deploy VSP One SDS on‑premises and in public cloud environments with the same architecture, eliminating storage silos.
  • Built for AI & modern apps: A unified control and data plane simplifies data access and mobility, helping teams power AI, analytics, and cloud‑native workloads.
