Collaborating with Supermicro, Hitachi Vantara enhances scalability and performance for mission-critical applications and enterprise AI deployments.
Hitachi Vantara, the data storage and hybrid cloud subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd, has announced a strategic collaboration with Supermicro, a leading provider of AI, cloud, storage, and 5G/edge solutions. The partnership aims to combine Supermicro’s GPU and AI compute capabilities with the performance and scale of Hitachi Vantara’s VSP One platform, providing enterprises with a robust foundation for AI infrastructure, mission-critical applications, and data-intensive workloads.
Under the agreement, Supermicro will sell VSP One to its customers, while Hitachi Vantara will offer Supermicro servers, storage, GPUs, and hardware systems, broadening availability through established global channels. VSP One unifies block, file, object, and software-defined storage into a single architecture, enabling high-throughput, low-latency, and high-IOPS performance for AI training and enterprise applications. Its software-defined (SDS) and object storage solutions also support hybrid cloud deployments and modern data lakehouse architectures, including native Amazon S3 Tables for advanced analytics.
The collaboration integrates Hitachi iQ, Hitachi Vantara’s AI and data orchestration portfolio, with Supermicro’s high-performance computer, enhancing visibility, governance, and workflow optimisation for AI workloads. The combined solution enables enterprises to align compute and data, improve performance, and scale efficiently for AI and GenAI initiatives.
Executives from both companies highlighted that this partnership addresses the growing pressures of explosive data growth and AI adoption. By streamlining infrastructure and pairing computers with enterprise-class storage, Hitachi Vantara and Supermicro aim to accelerate AI deployment, helping organisations unlock new insights and drive business value across multiple industries.
