Hitachi Vantara named leader in GigaOm Radar for primary storage, showcasing innovation in cloud integration, ransomware protection, and sustainability.

Hitachi Vantara, the data storage and hybrid cloud subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., has been recognised as a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar Report for Primary Storage. The accolade highlights the company’s Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One), a hybrid cloud data solution excelling in enterprise-grade functionality, innovation, and security.

The report evaluated 21 vendors on their ability to address modern storage demands across hybrid cloud environments, AI/ML workloads, and edge computing. It provides an industry benchmark for technical capabilities and innovation, spotlighting the maturity of primary storage solutions in todayโ€™s market.

Virtual Storage Platform One recognised for innovation

Hitachi Vantara’s VSP One earned the highest scores (5/5) in critical categories such as NVMe-oF support, cloud integration, and ransomware protection. These features position it as a top choice for enterprises navigating the complexities of modern IT infrastructure.

  • NVMe-oF: The platform supports advanced networking protocols like Nonvolatile Memory Express over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) using Fibre Channel (FC) and TCP. This allows flexible, high-performance storage networks.
  • Cloud integration: VSP One offers seamless hybrid cloud capabilities, including replication, automated tiering, and virtual appliances.
  • Ransomware protection: Robust defences such as storage immutability, air-gapping, and proactive detection address cybersecurity risks.

Whit Walters, Field CTO and Analyst at GigaOm, commented on the achievement: “The primary storage market has dramatically evolved over the last 12 months, as developments in AI, ransomware, and seamless cloud integration have pushed the pace of change. To be recognised as a leader requires a company to demonstrate a strong ability to deliver across these areas, and Hitachi Vantaraโ€™s Virtual Storage Platform One platform embodies their commitment to addressing the critical storage needs of modern enterprises. Their focus on innovation and strong roadmap for the coming year highlights the companyโ€™s capacity to deliver the adaptability required in todayโ€™s rapidly evolving IT landscape.”

Addressing enterprise storage challenges

The report underscores the rising importance of storage solutions that manage data growth, AI integration, and cybersecurity. A survey revealed a projected 122% increase in data storage needs in the U.S. by 2026, while 54% of businesses identified data security as their primary concern.

VSP One stands out with its ability to handle diverse workloads, from traditional applications to cloud-native environments. Its scalability, performance, and security make it a reliable choice for enterprises prioritising cost efficiency and sustainability.
