VSP 360 is a cutting-edge platform designed to simplify and optimize data operations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Vantara developed VSP 360 to bridge the gaps between siloed storage systems and to bring an intelligent, unified approach to data infrastructure.
“VSP 360 is more than a platform—it’s a strategic leap toward unified, AI-ready infrastructure,” stated Octavian Tanase, Chief Product Officer at Hitachi Vantara. “With flexible control across SaaS, private clouds, and mobile environments, organizations can now respond to data demands faster and more effectively.”
The Growing Need for Smarter Data Infrastructure
Fueled by AI adoption and digital transformation, global data volumes are rising at an unprecedented pace. Research indicates enterprise data will surge by 122% by 2026, yet many organizations lack the infrastructure to support this growth. Existing systems struggle with visibility, governance, and responsiveness.
VSP 360 addresses these pain points with a unified architecture that enhances scalability, agility, and operational efficiency. It is specifically engineered to support AI-driven workloads, robust cybersecurity measures, and evolving compliance regulations.
Core Capabilities of VSP 360: Control, Observe, Govern
At the heart of VSP 360 are three key functional pillars that define its robust architecture:
1. Control: Unified Hybrid Cloud Orchestration
VSP 360 centralizes management for all data types—block, file, object, and software-defined—through a single, user-friendly interface. This integration simplifies complex operations across on-premises and cloud-based environments, reducing the need for multiple tools and interfaces.
2. Observe: Real-Time Analytics and Full-Stack Observability
The Observe function leverages AIOps analytics to deliver deep visibility into data environments. Available on-premises, through SaaS, or via mobile access, it enables IT teams to monitor performance, capacity, and security in real time. This proactive insight reduces downtime and enhances responsiveness.
3. Govern: Advanced Data Lifecycle Management
With compliance becoming more critical than ever, the Govern feature unifies lifecycle policies across hybrid environments. It supports regulatory compliance, AI readiness, and PII classification, empowering businesses to meet modern governance requirements with confidence.
Designed for Scalability Across Industries
VSP 360 isn’t just built for large enterprises. Its modular, scalable framework supports a variety of industries and business sizes. Whether it’s a startup embracing digital transformation or a global enterprise managing massive datasets, VSP 360 adapts to diverse operational needs.
The platform also integrates seamlessly with Hitachi’s VSP One data services and benefits from new guarantees covering performance, sustainability, and 100% data availability.
Industry Experts Praise VSP 360’s Intelligent Storage Capabilities
The tech industry has welcomed VSP 360 with enthusiasm. Ashish Nadkarni, Group VP at IDC, remarked, “VSP 360 delivers true intelligence across the storage lifecycle. Its automation, analytics, and resilience offer unmatched agility for data-centric organizations.”
