Hitachi Vantara VSP E790 All-Flash Array

The Hitachi Vantara VSP E790 is a midrange all-flash NVMe storage array engineered for enterprises requiring high throughput, low latency, and continuous availability without the footprint or complexity of hyperscale platforms. Built on Hitachi's proven Virtual Storage Platform architecture, the E790 leverages NVMe-based flash media and an active-active controller design to deliver consistent sub-millisecond response times across mixed workloads. The system supports NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) host connectivity and integrates Hitachi's Storage Virtualization Operating System RF (SVOS RF), providing a unified control plane for provisioning, replication, and quality-of-service management.

Data efficiency is central to the E790's design. Hitachi's inline data reduction technologies—including compression and deduplication—operate without performance penalty, and the platform publishes a guaranteed data reduction ratio commitment backed by Hitachi Vantara's Data Reduction Guarantee program. The dual-controller, active-active architecture eliminates single points of failure at the controller level, while Hitachi's 3D flash management extends media endurance and maintains predictable performance under sustained write workloads. The array supports synchronous and asynchronous replication natively, enabling metro-cluster and cross-site disaster recovery configurations.

The VSP E790 targets midrange enterprise environments running mission-critical workloads such as Oracle and SAP HANA databases, virtualised server infrastructures on VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, and container-based platforms requiring persistent storage. Its scale-up capacity model, broad host connectivity options (Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and NVMe-oF), and integration with Hitachi Ops Center management software make it suitable for IT teams seeking operational simplicity alongside enterprise-grade resilience.

Ideal for

• Consolidation of mixed Oracle and SQL Server database workloads onto a single high-performance NVMe platform requiring guaranteed sub-millisecond latency
• VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine storage with Quality of Service (QoS) controls to maintain SLA separation across multiple tenants or business units
• SAP HANA persistent storage tier requiring inline data reduction, high sequential throughput, and certified integration with SAP storage connector frameworks
• Disaster recovery and business continuity architectures leveraging synchronous replication for near-zero RPO between primary and secondary data centres
• Kubernetes and container-native persistent volume storage for stateful microservices applications requiring enterprise data protection and multi-protocol access
• Midrange storage refresh and data centre consolidation projects migrating from legacy SAS/SSD arrays to an NVMe platform with non-disruptive data migration tooling
