Hitachi Vantara's Virtual Storage Platform One Available in Microsoft Azure Marketplace
Hitachi Vantara, Wednesday, August 20th, 2025
Hitachi Vantara, the data storage, infrastructure and hybrid cloud management subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501), today announced the availability of Virtual Storage Platform One Software-Defined Storage (VSP One SDS) in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store that provides applications and services for use on Azure.
Hitachi Vantara customers can now utilize the Azure cloud platform, with streamlined deployment and management. The update gives enterprises the ability to manage and protect data across Azure and on-premises systems, with built-in provisioning, compression and replication capabilities that can reduce operational complexity and help control cloud costs.
This expansion comes as organizations face mounting pressure to do more with less. According to IDC*, 82 percent of cloud buyers said their cloud requires modernization, with challenges such as skills gaps, staffing shortages and the complexity of managing hybrid and multicloud environments. That inefficiency, combined with the rapid growth of data and limited visibility across hybrid environments, has led to billions of dollars in unnecessary spending and a growing push for automation, governance and tighter cost control.
