Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One SDS Block

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One SDS Block (VSP-1SDS-BLK) is a software-defined block storage solution from Hitachi Vantara, extending the VSP One portfolio into flexible deployment models that span on-premises infrastructure, colocation facilities, and public or private cloud environments. Built on software-defined storage principles, it decouples the storage control plane from underlying commodity or certified hardware, enabling organizations to provision, manage, and scale block storage capacity without dependence on proprietary storage appliances. The solution inherits core VSP One data services and is managed through a unified control plane consistent with the broader VSP One family.

The platform delivers enterprise-grade block storage services including thin provisioning, snapshots, cloning, data reduction through inline compression and deduplication, and high-availability configurations suited to demanding production workloads. Its architecture supports deployment on industry-standard x86 servers, making it suitable for organizations seeking to consolidate storage expenditure onto hyperconverged or server-based infrastructure while retaining the data services associated with Hitachi Vantara's enterprise storage heritage. Integration with common virtualization platforms and container orchestration environments allows it to serve both traditional VM-based workloads and modern cloud-native applications.

As a software-only offering, VSP One SDS Block is positioned for enterprise IT teams that require consistent storage operations and data management capabilities across hybrid and multi-cloud topologies. It supports operational models centered on infrastructure-as-code and automation, with REST API access and compatibility with storage management frameworks. The product is designed for organizations prioritizing workload portability, operational consistency across sites, and the ability to run block storage services on hardware they already own or procure independently.

Ideal for

• Deploying enterprise block storage on certified commodity x86 servers to support virtualized workloads without dedicated storage appliances
• Extending consistent Hitachi Vantara data services to private cloud or hosted colocation environments as part of a hybrid cloud storage strategy
• Providing persistent block storage volumes for containerized and cloud-native applications running on Kubernetes in on-premises or cloud environments
• Consolidating block storage management across geographically distributed sites under a unified VSP One control plane for operational consistency
• Enabling disaster recovery and data protection for business-critical databases and applications through snapshot and replication capabilities on software-defined infrastructure
• Supporting infrastructure modernization programs where organizations migrate from legacy proprietary storage arrays to software-defined architectures on current-generation server hardware
