High performance

  • Multiple controller configuration to distribute processing across controllers
  • Ultra-high-speed I/O processing provided by NVMe flash drives and facilitated by up to 1,024 GiB of cache
  • Front-end data transfer up to 64 Gbps for FC and 100 Gbps for iSCSI
  • Hardware accelerator for high-performance compression
  • Integrated with Hitachi Ops Center to improve IT operational efficiencies

High reliability

  • Service continuity for all main components due to redundant configuration
  • Dynamic drive protection (DDP) utilizing dual-parity RAID 6 configurations (for example, 14D+2P)
  • Data security by automatically transferring data to non-volatile cache flash memory during a power outage without any intervention
  • Nondisruptive maintenance for main components enabling the storage system to remain in operation

Scalability and versatility

The VSP One Block 20 storage systems are available in three different models:

  • VSP One B24: Scalable capacity up to 4.3 PB (internal) and 64 PiB (external).
  • VSP One B26: Scalable capacity up to 4.3 PB (internal), 128 PiB (external).
  • VSP One B28: Scalable capacity up to 4.3 PB (internal), 255 PiB (external).

The VSP One Block 20 storage systems provide heterogeneous connectivity, supporting concurrent attachment to a variety of hosts, including VMware, Linux, UNIX, and Windows.

Sustainability

At Hitachi Vantara we empower organizations to meet their environmental goals through data-driven solutions that improve efficiencies, lower costs, and reduce climate impact.

  • The VSP One Block 20 storage systems utilize Hitachi's patented Dynamic Carbon Reduction (DCR) technology that reduces power consumption by switching controller CPUs into low-power mode during periods of low activity.
  • The VSP One Block 20 storage systems are ENERGY STAR® certified and Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP) approved.
  • Hitachi's Modern Storage Assurance allows you to extend service lifecycles and minimize electronic waste. With Modern Storage Assurance, you can continue using your original and next-generation VSP One infrastructure for as long as you choose, greatly reducing the amount of electronic waste related to your VSP One installation.
  • The Storage Virtualization Operating System (SVOS) software also helps reduce CO2 emissions with enhanced data reduction technology, which allows you to store more data on the purchased capacity. In some cases, a 65% reduction in electricity consumption can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 65% as well.
  • Hitachi Vantara diagnostics and sustainability advisory services help you drive effective sustainability practices across your organization.
