The VSP 5000 series is purpose-built for
today’s always-on digital business. Its self-
protecting IO architecture and quadruple
redundant fabric deliver an industry-
leading 99.999999% availability.
reduce storage costs and predict faults
that could disrupt operations. Fabrics (NVMe-oF) without forklift
upgrades or more hardware investments.
The VSP 5000 series is the only storage
system in the industry that offers the
flexibility to mix NVMe and SAS flash
media in the same system array to
optimise cost and performance across
workloads. Intelligent tiering leverages
AI and ML to dynamically promote and
demote data to an optimised tier to
accelerate applications. Additional benefits of the Hitachi VSP
5000 Series, Hitachi Ops Center and SVOS:
• An entry-priced model, Hitachi VSP
5100 comes loaded with value-added
software that enables complete storage
management, powerful system analytics
and native copy data management
• A 100% data availability guarantee for
all VSP models including the new VSP
5000 series
• For customers requiring nonstop
operations that can survive a regional
outage, Hitachi’s Global-Active Device
(GAD) is available for the VSP 5000
Series and delivers synchronous
clustering of applications between sites
that are up to 500 kilometres apart
• Easy-to-use Hitachi Ops Center
Administrator templates can
simplify management and streamline
IT workflow
• With Hitachi Ops Center, users can
experience accelerated management

Transform data centre operations
The VSP 5000 is a major advancement for
organisations that are looking to modernise
their data centre to meet the demanding
service-level requirements across a wide
range of workloads and edge-to-core-to-
multicloud deployment models.
The new Hitachi Ops Center brings
AI to infrastructure management and
operations to improve decision making
and modernise resource delivery for
maximum return on investment. Ops
Center can accelerate customers toward
an autonomous data centre by automating
up to 70% of tasks and can offer faster,
more accurate insights to diagnose
system health and keep data operations
running in top condition.
The VSP 5000 series is designed so
customers can start small and grow,
as needed, to massive scale – all while
delivering predictable service levels. It is
designed to accelerate and consolidate
multiple workloads of any type –
traditional transactional systems, modern
containerised applications, analytics and
even mainframe – consolidating more
applications than ever for cost savings and
data centre footprint reduction.
Its upgradeable architecture is future-
ready to bridge from well-established
storage technologies to the latest
advances such as SCM and NVMe over
Customers can instantly add new value
to their existing storage infrastructure by
leveraging a VSP 5000 model to virtualise
their current systems, lowering TCO by
up to 20%. Virtualisation will bring all the
data services available with the VSP 5000
series to older systems.
The VSP Cloud Connect Pack adds an
HNAS 4000 file storage gateway to move
data to a public cloud to free up additional
data centre capacity. Data that is moved to
the public cloud is enriched with metadata,
making it indexable and searchable.
Flexibility to optimise any workload
Hitachi Storage Virtualization Operating
System (SVOS) powers the VSP 5000
series and is optimised for scale-out
architectures, NVMe performance and
next-generation storage media including
SCM. It incorporates AI intelligence
that adapts to changing conditions to
optimise any workload performance,
