Overview

Hitachi's VSP One integration with Red Hat OpenShift transforms enterprise-grade data management by embedding secure, high-performance storage directly into the Kubernetes control plane. This integration empowers users to instantly provision production-ready volumes and databases, enforce fine-grained policies, and automate snapshots, replication, and disaster recovery workflows—all within the OpenShift toolchain. By unifying these capabilities, it eliminates storage silos, accelerates developer velocity through self-service storage, and provides operations teams with end-to-end visibility and automated resilience. As a result, organizations can scale stateful applications seamlessly across private, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.

Key Advantages

  • Instant Provisioning & Scaling: Provision volumes and databases in seconds, without requiring service tickets.
  • Built-In Resilience: Continuous snapshots, cross-cluster replication, and automated disaster recovery ensure robust data protection.
  • Hybrid Multi-Cloud Data Mobility: Enables seamless movement of workloads and data between on-premises infrastructures and public clouds.
  • Centralized Operations: Single-pane-of-glass management, policy-driven automation, and end-to-end encryption simplify operations.

This solution exemplifies Hitachi’s commitment to delivering innovative technologies that drive measurable outcomes for modern enterprises.

"In today’s fast-evolving IT landscape, businesses are under increasing pressure to modernize their infrastructure while managing complexity and risk. Red Hat OpenShift offers a trusted, comprehensive application platform that empowers organizations to achieve cloud-native modernization in alignment with their business goals. By enabling Hitachi Vantara and Cisco infrastructure on Red Hat OpenShift, we can provide an enterprise-ready solution to help streamline container adoption and support scalable operations."

ResourcesFAQs

What high-availability and disaster-recovery capabilities are built in?

Our platforms offer 100% data availability with VSP One Block, Universal Replication, and Global Active Device for synchronous or asynchronous mirroring. Plus, we supply CRD-based DR operators so OpenShift can orchestrate failover and fail-back automatically, achieving RPOs in seconds and RTOs in minutes.

What storage-automation tools are available for day-one provisioning and day-two operations?

You get certified Hitachi CSI drivers (Block, File) installable directly from the OpenShift Operator catalog, plus Ansible modules/playbooks and Grafana dashboards. GitOps patterns further automate both initial provisioning and ongoing lifecycle tasks, reducing manual steps and error risk.

How do you ensure a consistent management experience across on-prem and public clouds?

We provide a unified control plane that extends Hitachi Vantara’s systems management—automation, monitoring, alerts—into Red Hat OpenShift whether you’re on-prem, in AWS/Azure/Google, or at the edge. Workloads can be moved seamlessly with the same policies and SLAs intact.

What kind of performance can I expect when running both VMs and containers on Hitachi + OpenShift Virtualization?

Our integrated storage + compute systems are tuned for low-latency, high-throughput workloads—from transactional databases to AI-infused pipelines. In internal benchmarks, we consistently deliver sub-millisecond response times at scale.

What deployment and support models do you offer?

Choose from self-managed or fully managed hybrid-cloud options. Our EverFlex IaaS lets you consume pre-templated resources on demand, while Hitachi Professional Services provides architecture design, implementation, and a co-managed model. Global support is coordinated with Red Hat under a unified framework for streamlined issue resolution.
