Unlocking the Hidden Gems: Finding the Perfect Unified Storage Solution with Hitachi Vantara

Greetings, tech enthusiasts! Are you embarking on a quest to find the ideal unified storage solution for your enterprise? Look no further, for we are about to unravel the mysteries and unveil the gems offered by Hitachi Vantara who used to be called Hitachi Data Systems (HDS). Let's dive deep into the realm of unified storage solutions and discover the treasures that await!

SVOS - The Storage Virtualization Game Changer

Hitachi SVOS, which I initially implemented in 2005 during my time at the late Silicon Valley Bank, has now been in existence for 21 years.

Its capability to integrate other block storage platforms and manage them through the Hitachi Vantara GUI, along with all the Hitachi technology features and affordable third-party maintenance, enables seamless data transfer across different storage platforms.

This functionality helps extend the lifespan of legacy systems and is proving invaluable to many Governments and Enterprises out there.

Hitachi Vantara also feature Hybrid cloud capabilities and simplicity of operation that you will come to appreciate like no other storage platform.

Best of all is the price.

Once considered the Rolls Royce Champagne and Caviar end of the High-end Storage platform market with matching price tags, I was astounded to learn that the Hitachi mid-range platforms not only featured all of the features of the high-end platforms, it was also one of the smallest footprint, highest performing, most reliable, cyber resilient platforms money can buy and the fact you can scale it to 65 nodes and still beat NetApp, Dell and HPE on pricing was absolutely amazing.

They also offer performance, availability, security and performance guarantees as well as a guaranteed 4:1 average space savings guarantee!

This is also somehow the best kept secret on the whole planet!

I was also amazed at how simple and easy to operate these modern Uniofed storage platforms have become.

Hitachi Vantara is also totally unified. This means Block, File and Object are all running on a single platform if you want to do it that way.

You can also get stand-alone appliances for each storage type if you have security management concerns that require isolation.

VSP One is delivering less silos and much simplified day to day operations that free your resources up from maintenance tasks and put them in a place to deliver true innovation in IT.

Dell-EMC Under SVOS: Unleashing Possibilities

Fourth and fifth year maintenance costs from traditional storage vendors are so high that new solutions are often much cheaper than the ongoing maintenance.

This is not a mistake. It is a fully deliberate strategy for these incumbents to push you into renewals every 36 months.

At Hitachi Vantara we are very different from this aspect.

We expect customers to run our systems for 10 years.

Plugging in legacy systems into the Hitachi Vantara Block 20 platform gives you a lot of options, one of which is near instant data migration to other storage platforms also virtualized with SVOS or arming your Hitachi VSP One Block 20 platform with Hitachi storage.

This is the very feature that won many deals for Hitachi Vantara at the US Federal Government level.

In case you are wondering how many people use Hitachi storage arrays, the answer is a lot.

HPE XP 8 series systems are also our VSP 5000 series high end platforms and a great many customers at Federal, State and City levels use Hitachi storage platforms with Hitachi and HPE logos on the box.

If you want serious performance, energy star certification, scalability and a raft of Data and security guarantees, there is only one horse in the race that meets and exceeds all of these requirements our customers expect in one platform!

Pure Storage Under SVOS Control: Pioneering the Future

One big drawback with Pure Block storage platforms is their inability to scale. These platforms are SMB and Commercial organization fare, and they are pretty good platforms from that perspective.

When you want data management and reporting of Islands of storage systems as well as the ability to manage and move data across all your storage systems as if they are one big fat storage array, Hitachi Vantara SVOS is the only game in town.

Hitachi Vantara's entire availability and security guarantees also cover these non-Hitachi platforms plugged into SVOS.

Want to avoid Pure storage 4th and 5th year support and maintenance costs? Hitachi offer third party support that will cover you there and enable this for you!

Think certain apps run better on the different virtualized legacy storage platforms with SVOS? Well, it is a cinch to move the data there and try it to see with the Hitachi tools!

The big banks utilizing SVOS are laughing all the way to the bank on this one, literally!
