Hitachi Vantara launches high-end storage system for AI workloads

Hitachi Vantara has launched the Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) Block High End, a next-generation all-flash NVMe storage system designed to support artificial intelligence (AI) and mission-critical workloads.

Unveiled on 18 November in Santa Clara, California, the platform completes the company’s VSP One data architecture strategy and is built to consolidate open systems and mainframe workloads while strengthening cybersecurity and resilience.

Hitachi Vantara said the system addresses growing pressure on enterprises to modernize infrastructure as data volumes and AI adoption rise. A recent study found that more than 70 percent of organizations say their current systems are not prepared for future AI workloads.

VSP One Block High End delivers up to 50 million IOPS and includes FIPS 140-3 Level 2 certified protection, immutable snapshots, automated recovery, and anomaly detection powered by CyberSense. The company guarantees 100 percent data availability and rapid ransomware recovery.

The platform also offers a 4:1 data reduction guarantee and reduces power consumption with automatic eco-mode CPU adjustments. It supports scaling up to 12 controllers and 288 60-TB SSDs with 100G NVMe-TCP and 64G Fibre Channel connectivity.

“What we’re seeing across industries is a tipping point where data infrastructure must evolve or risk holding back innovation,” said Octavian Tanase, chief product officer of Hitachi Vantara. “VSP One Block High End goes beyond performance upgrade; it’s a strategic enabler for enterprises to rethink how they capture, manage, protect, and scale data in the AI era.”
