Hitachi Vantara brings VSP One SDS to Google Cloud Marketplace
Hitachi Vantara has made its Virtual Storage Platform One Software-Defined Storage (VSP One SDS) available on Google Cloud Marketplace, aiming to support Asia Pacific organisations seeking greater flexibility in hybrid cloud data management.
This development follows widespread uptake of hybrid cloud architectures, with global data indicating that almost 80% of companies use multiple public clouds and 60% utilise several private clouds. As artificial intelligence workloads intensify, many IT leaders are experiencing challenges managing and monitoring data across these environments, prompting demand for simpler and more resilient IT infrastructure.
Cloud management benefits
VSP One SDS is designed to enable businesses to manage data seamlessly across both cloud and on-premises platforms without requiring substantial re-architecture of their existing setups. The platform's features include thin provisioning and data compression, which the company says can help cut cloud storage costs by up to 40%. Additionally, its two-way asynchronous replication provides improved disaster recovery options, while enterprise-grade availability aims for 99.999% uptime.
Hitachi Vantara's expansion to the Google Cloud Marketplace is set to benefit customers with centralised management of their hybrid environments. This makes it possible to manage deployment and migration between cloud and existing on-site storage systems via a unified interface. The platform's new capabilities, such as thin provisioning and advanced compression, aim to reduce overhead while increasing storage efficiency and robustness.
Industry context
The backdrop to this launch is an industry where, according to a 2025 cloud adoption report cited by Hitachi Vantara, nearly 80% of companies use several public clouds, and a majority are also managing multiple private environments. Industry research also indicates that 47% of IT and security leaders report limited visibility across these hybrid setups, which complicates risk management and control.
The company states that disaster recovery strategies are enhanced by the inclusion of two-way asynchronous replication, which permits both primary and secondary storage locations to act as source and target, thereby improving resilience against data loss or service interruption.
"Bringing VSP One to Google Cloud Marketplace will help customers quickly deploy, manage and grow the data management solution on Google Cloud's trusted, global infrastructure," said Dai Vu, Managing Director, Marketplace & ISV GTM Programs, Google Cloud. "Hitachi Vantara can now securely scale and support customers on their digital transformation journeys."
According to Hitachi Vantara, VSP One extends public cloud users' enterprise-class availability, targeting near-continuous service with a 99.999% uptime objective. This is intended to reduce the costs and operational disruption usually associated with downtime or the need to re-architect storage systems. The system also supports migration to and from any combination of storage platforms and cloud services, maintaining business continuity and speeding up recovery from unplanned events.
"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," said Octavian Tanase, Chief Product Officer, Hitachi Vantara. "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."
Partner opportunities
Hitachi Vantara says the launch will allow its regional partners to support customers better upgrading to software-defined hybrid cloud strategies, offering them a deeper integration with Google Cloud and the flexibility to address priorities such as regulatory resilience, data security, and sustainability. This is intended to help customers optimise their use of current infrastructure resources while enhancing operational efficiency and data protection.
The move to Google Cloud follows Hitachi Vantara's earlier introduction of VSP 360, a unified data management software platform designed to make the VSP One experience more transparent and user-friendly, providing insight into data and infrastructure usage.
