Hitachi Vantara and Supermicro have joined forces to enhance enterprise AI infrastructure, focusing on mission-critical applications and data-intensive workloads. This strategic alliance aims to integrate Hitachi Vantara’s Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) with Supermicro’s advanced GPU and AI computing capabilities.
The partnership is set to benefit businesses by allowing Supermicro to market and sell VSP One solutions to its customers while Hitachi Vantara will offer Supermicro’s servers and hardware. This collaborative effort comes in response to the increasing pressures of rapid data expansion and the need for AI-driven insights. A recent survey revealed that 85% of companies are employing data lakehouses to construct their AI models, with expectations that this number will grow significantly in the coming years. However, many organizations still grapple with challenges related to disjointed systems and slow data transfer, hindering their ability to scale AI effectively.
At the core of this partnership is the VSP One platform, which consolidates various storage types—block, file, object, and software-defined—into a unified architecture. This comprehensive solution supports diverse data storage needs, enabling features like high-throughput, low-latency storage with VSP One Block on Supermicro servers. The software-defined capabilities of VSP One SDS extend this functionality across hybrid clouds, allowing customers to manage unstructured data efficiently.
Sheila Rohra, CEO of Hitachi Vantara, emphasized that by merging Supermicro’s superior AI computation with the robust capabilities of the VSP One platform, the partnership is setting a crucial groundwork for the future of enterprise AI. This integration enhances businesses’ ability to manage escalating data volumes while maximizing their investments in AI.
Building on the VSP One architecture is Hitachi iQ, a data orchestration portfolio that optimizes workflows for AI. Businesses can leverage Supermicro’s high-performance computing and GPU acceleration alongside VSP One’s unified data services, boosting their capabilities in analytics and AI initiatives. Such enhancements ensure that computational tasks and data management are closely aligned, facilitating quicker insights across various workloads.
Vik Malyala, Senior Vice President at Supermicro, stated that this collaboration aims to expedite AI adoption for businesses, leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance performance and efficiency.
The planned deployment of these technologies will include key offerings such as VSP One Block, VSP One SDS, and VSP One Object, accessible through various channels. Partners of both companies stand to gain, as Hitachi Vantara partners will benefit from expedited GPU server delivery, while Supermicro partners will gain access to a broader range of enterprise storage solutions and support.
