Hitachi Vantara expands VSP One SDS features on Google Cloud
Hitachi Vantara has announced the availability of new capabilities for its Virtual Storage Platform One Software-Defined Storage (VSP One SDS) on Google Cloud Marketplace, enhancing hybrid cloud data management for enterprise customers.
The update brings several enterprise features to the public cloud, notably two-way asynchronous replication, thin provisioning, and advanced data compression. These features are designed to give organisations greater flexibility, improved data efficiencies, expanded disaster recovery options, and easier data movement across both on-premises and cloud environments.
Growing hybrid cloud demand
As businesses increasingly adopt hybrid cloud architectures, combining public and private clouds has become common to address shifting operational requirements. Data from a 2025 cloud adoption report indicates nearly 80% of companies employ more than one public cloud, and 60% run several private clouds. This complexity often results in reduced visibility, with 47% of IT and security leaders reporting challenges in managing risk and maintaining control across distributed hybrid environments as data requirements surge with AI workloads.
Hitachi Vantara's VSP One SDS, now accessible through Google Cloud Marketplace, allows customers to deploy storage resources spanning cloud and on-premises environments via a single management interface, eliminating the need for re-architecting. Features such as thin provisioning and data compression can cut cloud storage costs by up to 40% and are aimed at helping customers optimise performance while reducing expenses.
Features and availability
"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."
One of the additions, two-way asynchronous replication, enhances disaster recovery by allowing both primary and secondary sites to serve as either source or target, supporting greater operational resilience. The platform supports enterprise-level availability in the public cloud and is designed for continuous uptime, targeting 99.999% availability. This functionality aims to reduce costs while allowing native migration between storage platforms and cloud providers, as well as enabling faster recovery during unplanned outages.
"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."
Channel partner opportunities
The expansion to the Google Cloud Marketplace also opens new opportunities for Hitachi Vantara's channel partners. They will be able to offer customers a more flexible, software-defined solution that integrates extensively with Google Cloud. This broadened approach helps partners address key priorities, including resiliency, security, and sustainability, and enables customers to improve operations and strengthen data protection while maximising the use of existing infrastructure.
This release builds on the previous introduction of VSP 360, Hitachi Vantara's unified data management software platform, which aims to simplify the VSP One user experience and provide transparent insights into data and infrastructure assets. The addition of new features to VSP One reflects the company's ongoing efforts to develop its data management offerings, aligning with the needs of enterprises facing increased data complexity and operational risk in hybrid environments.
Hitachi Vantara's move to enhance the capabilities of VSP One SDS on Google Cloud Marketplace aims to address growing hybrid cloud demands and the evolving data protection requirements of modern enterprises.
