Second consecutive year of recognition highlights VSP One’s cyber resilience, cloud integration, and AI-ready performance
Hitachi Vantara, the data storage and hybrid cloud management subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd., has been recognized as a Leader and Outperformer in the latest GigaOm Radar report for Primary Storage for its Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One). This marks the second year in a row that VSP One has earned both distinctions.
The report evaluated 19 vendors on their ability to meet evolving storage demands across traditional enterprise applications, hybrid cloud environments, AI/ML workloads, and edge computing. VSP One stood out for its robust performance, ransomware protection, unified management via VSP 360, and Kubernetes integration.
Why It Matters:
As AI adoption accelerates, storage systems face unprecedented strain while cyberattacks grow more sophisticated. GigaOm notes that modernizing primary storage is now a core business decision, not just an infrastructure refresh. Platforms like VSP One mitigate risk with features such as immutable snapshots, rapid recovery, and eight nines of availability, while enabling scalable, low-latency performance for AI model training.
“Cyberattacks are a constantly evolving threat.” – Octavian Tanase, Chief Product Officer, Hitachi Vantara

- Cyber Resilience: Storage-level defenses, immutability, and clean data recovery in seconds.
- Unified Management: API-first automation with AIOps-powered analytics via VSP 360.
- Cloud & Kubernetes Integration: Seamless orchestration across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.
Octavian Tanase, Chief Product Officer at Hitachi Vantara, said: “This recognition from GigaOm validates our efforts to build modern data infrastructure that delivers the performance, scalability, and cybersecurity protection capabilities that the AI era demands.”
