5 Ways Hitachi Vantara’s VSP E Series Stands Out for Mid Range Storage

In today’s world, businesses need new technologies to keep pace with the demands of data-hungry applications and deliver IT projects on time. They are continually challenged to be agile and give their best with minimal resources.

However, instead of focusing on strategic aspects, some companies spend their time and money on buying, maintaining, and upgrading costly enterprise storage systems. Despite all the efforts, many storage infrastructures still fall short of delivering the expected results.

To make their life easier, Hitachi Vantara has launched a comprehensive range of Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) E series (VSP E590, VSP E790 & VSP E1090) where the letter ‘E’ stands for ‘everyone’.

Owing to the advanced storage facility of these models, businesses of any size can deliver exemplary results.

Hitachi Vantara’s VSP E Series to Boost the Performance of Mid-Range Storage

The new VSP series comes with the hybrid storage facility that empowers clients to integrate multiple workloads in one single midrange platform. These storage solutions allow you to meet your present digital expectations in a cost-effective manner, and let you meet your future service levels and applications data needs.

Hitachi’s VSP E series is meticulously designed and supports a symmetrical active-active controller to deliver industry-leading, consistent performance with low-microsecond latency.

E series ensures a quick and easy, self-install setup, and it can be up & running in under 30 minutes. It is integrated with the hybrid cloud stacks that simplify the deployment and maintenance of data from the edge to core to cloud.

Recently, Hitachi Vantara has also announced an integration with the Google cloud solution ‘Anthos’ for seamless Kubernetes management across the edge, public and on-premises clouds environment. Moreover, you can also opt for Hitachi’s ops center management setup for effective data protection, automation, administration, and analytics.
