A Forrester Consulting study commissioned by Hitachi Vantara reveals that its Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) generated a 285% return on investment with a seven-month payback period, delivering US$1.5 million in benefits over three years for global customers.
Organisations using Hitachi Vantara’s Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) have achieved a 285% return on investment (ROI), US$1.1 million in net present value (NPV) and payback in just seven months, according to a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Hitachi Vantara.
The Total Economic Impact (TEI) of Hitachi Vantara VSP One study found that VSP One delivered measurable business value by improving operational efficiency, reducing costs and enabling scalability across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments.
According to the Forrester study: “Organisations across industries are facing increasing demands for performance, scalability and simplicity in their data infrastructure, especially as modern workloads grow more complex and data volumes surge. Many are seeking solutions that not only meet current operational needs but also provide headroom for future growth, improved efficiency and seamless integration with evolving IT environments.”
Forrester noted that VSP One addresses these needs directly, improving storage efficiency with up to a 6:1 data reduction ratio, allowing customers to store as much as six times more data in the same physical space while keeping costs under control as demands grow.
The TEI study evaluated the experiences of six decision-makers across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Participants reported reduced operational complexity, faster deployment of new workloads and significant cost savings through features such as deduplication and compression, along with performance improvements driven by NVMe technology.
Forrester created a composite organisation – a midsize global enterprise – based on customer interviews to quantify results, estimating benefits of US$1.5 million over three years. Moreover, the study found that VSP One customers began to realise returns on their investments in less than a year, with streamlined provisioning, easier scaling and reduced administrative overhead contributing to both cost savings and agility.
Participants highlighted measurable improvements in cost reduction, operational efficiency and performance:
“Delivering more than just cost savings, VSP One is helping customers eliminate silos, simplify operations and support hybrid environments without the constraints of proprietary systems,” said Octavian Tanase, Chief Product Officer, Hitachi Vantara. “We believe these results support our approach of delivering a unified data platform that performs wherever our customers’ data resides – on premises or in the cloud – and demonstrates that modernising with VSP One has the potential to achieve rapid ROI, cut complexity and give organisations the agility to scale and innovate.”
Together, these benefits add up to about US $1.5 million in savings over three years. Key findings from the composite organisation include:
The study’s findings also reinforce the value of VSP One for Hitachi Vantara partners. By helping customers modernise more efficiently with a unified platform, partners can accelerate deployment, simplify ongoing management and expand their services to include migration, optimisation and hybrid cloud support.
