The recognition by GigaOm highlights rapid innovation for VSP One, now featuring native Amazon S3 Tables support for modern data workloads.
Data storage infrastructure Hitachi Vantara has been named a leader in the latest GigaOm Radar for Object Storage, acknowledged for its innovation through the Virtual Storage Platform One Object (VSP One Object).
Launched in November 2024, VSP One Object now offers native support for Amazon S3 Tables alongside advanced data intelligence services, marking an industry first.
The GigaOm Radar evaluates 22 enterprise object storage providers on their ability to meet the demands of modern, data-intensive environments. Hitachi Vantara was placed in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant for its advanced reporting, storage optimisation, and extended AWS S3 API integration, including S3 Object Lock and S3 Tables.
Whit Walters, GigaOm analyst, said: “Hitachi Vantara’s strategy centres on the VSP One common data plane, unifying block, file, and object storage. VSP One Object delivers scalable, secure, and self-healing storage for diverse workloads such as backups, archives, AI, and analytics.”
VSP One Object supports open data formats like Apache Iceberg via S3 Tables, streamlining tasks such as compaction and metadata management.
“By enabling SQL queries directly on object storage, you eliminate the need for complex pipelines and reduce infrastructure overhead,” said Octavian Tanase, Chief Product Officer at Hitachi Vantara. He added that the enhancements reflect the company’s vision for a unified data platform spanning cloud and on-premises environments.
This recognition follows recent awards, including the 2025 Fortress Cybersecurity Award for Data Protection, and leadership rankings in GigaOm Radar reports for high-performance and primary storage solutions.
