Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One Block 28

The Hitachi Vantara Virtual Storage Platform One Block 28 (VSP-1B28) is an entry-tier all-flash block storage system within the VSP One Block family, engineered to bring enterprise-grade unified block storage capabilities to midrange environments. Built on Hitachi Vantara's proven VSP architecture, the system delivers non-disruptive operations and carries Hitachi's 100% data availability guarantee, ensuring continuous access to business-critical data. The platform supports NVMe-ready infrastructure and is designed for organisations seeking to consolidate SAN workloads with predictable, low-latency performance without the operational complexity traditionally associated with enterprise-class arrays.

The VSP One Block 28 supports both Fibre Channel and iSCSI host connectivity, enabling flexible integration into existing data centre environments and eliminating the need for a wholesale infrastructure refresh. Storage efficiency is built into the foundation of the system through inline data reduction technologies including compression and deduplication, helping organisations maximise usable capacity from their installed flash media. The platform is managed through Hitachi's unified management software, providing a consistent operational experience across the broader VSP One Block portfolio and enabling straightforward capacity expansion as storage demands grow.

Targeted at midrange enterprise buyers, the VSP One Block 28 is well suited for virtualised server environments, database workloads, VDI deployments, and secondary enterprise applications requiring high reliability at scale. The system is designed to simplify the operational lifecycle with non-disruptive firmware updates, proactive support via Hitachi's cloud-based telemetry, and a controller architecture that eliminates single points of failure. As the entry point into the VSP One Block family, the VSP-1B28 provides a clear, non-disruptive upgrade path to higher-tier VSP One Block models as workload requirements evolve.

Ideal for

• Consolidation of mixed SAN workloads onto a single unified block storage platform in midrange enterprise data centres
• Hosting virtualised server environments (VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V) requiring consistent low-latency storage performance and high availability
• Supporting relational database deployments such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Database where predictable I/O and data integrity are critical
• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments demanding high IOPS density and resilient storage to support concurrent desktop sessions
• Secondary or departmental enterprise applications requiring enterprise-grade data protection features without the footprint of a high-end modular array
• Entry point for organisations standardising on the Hitachi Vantara VSP One Block platform with a planned growth path to higher-tier models
