Hitachi Vantara launches VSP One SDS on Google Cloud Marketplace
Enterprise capabilities
The addition of VSP One SDS to Google Cloud Marketplace introduces cloud-native performance features for organisations utilising both cloud and on-premises infrastructures. New capabilities such as thin provisioning, advanced data compression, and two-way asynchronous replication support disaster recovery and service reliability, supporting enterprises aiming to optimise their hybrid cloud operations.
VSP One's built-in efficiency tools allow users to reduce storage costs by up to 40% through the minimisation of unused storage and optimised performance. Two-way replication between cloud and on-premises sites enables more resilient disaster recovery strategies and provides greater flexibility for business continuity, allowing for primary and secondary storage sites to operate interchangeably as the source and target during replication events.
Unified management
One of the key features highlighted is the ability for customers to manage both cloud and on-premises storage through a single user interface. This unified management approach removes the need for re-architecting current storage setups, streamlining hybrid operations for enterprises already employing complex infrastructures.
Channel partners are expected to benefit from this launch, with broader opportunities to support customers who are adapting their hybrid cloud strategies with a software-defined and more flexible approach. The integration offers partners tools to address priorities such as resilience, security, and ongoing operational efficiency improvements.
Industry context
Hybrid cloud adoption continues to grow among businesses. Research cited by Hitachi Vantara indicates that around 80% of companies use multiple public clouds while 60% maintain several private clouds. With the rise of artificial intelligence and data-driven processes, 47% of IT and security leaders surveyed reportedly experience challenges related to limited visibility in hybrid cloud environments, complicating risk management and oversight.
VSP One's features are positioned to address this, aiming to provide consistency and enhanced control across various deployment models. As organisations manage increasingly distributed data assets, these capabilities are intended to help reduce complexity and facilitate more efficient data movement and protection.
Statements from partners "Bringing VSP One to Google Cloud Marketplace will help customers quickly deploy, manage and grow the data management solution on Google Cloud's trusted, global infrastructure. Hitachi Vantara can now securely scale and support customers on their digital transformation journeys," said Dai Vu, Managing Director, Marketplace & ISV GTM Programs, Google Cloud.
Octavian Tanase, Chief Product Officer at Hitachi Vantara, commented on the customer advantages of the expanded integration between VSP One and Google Cloud Marketplace. "Customers want the freedom to choose the right cloud for every workload and the assurance that their data will remain protected, available and easy to manage," he said. "With availability on Google Cloud Marketplace and the addition of two-way asynchronous replication, VSP One empowers our customers to easily streamline hybrid cloud operations while strengthening their resiliency posture."
Continuous availability
Hitachi Vantara reports that VSP One is designed for continuous availability, targeting 99.999% uptime. This level of service reliability aims to reduce the cost and disruption associated with downtime, supporting native migration of data between cloud and on-premises platforms as required.
The company states that access to these capabilities via Google Cloud Marketplace reflects an ongoing commitment to increase integration offered by the VSP One portfolio, including the previous introduction of VSP 360, a unified data management software platform.

Platform guides course decisions
It is hard to fathom how he does it. Final-year University of Otago medical student Josiah Bugden has somehow also found time to establish a rapidly growing platform to help students navigate university life with confidence. Mr Bugden (25) is a finalist in the Momentum student entrepreneur category in the KiwiNet Research Commercialisation Awards for CourseSpy, which is about creating transparency in higher education. What started as a side project has evolved into a platform with more than 250,000 visits, which helps students make better and more informed decisions about their tertiary study. CourseSpy was born of Mr Bugden's own frustrations as a student. Prior to embarking on his medical studies, he did a science degree. He said while there were some necessary papers, it required having to "build your degree" and he found it tricky figuring out which papers to take. All he had to go off was the paper title and maybe a couple of sentences, yet there were so many options available, he said. In his hall of residence, friends would pass around Google documents, sharing course advice, and it got him thinking — and tinkering. Teaching himself to code, he built a basic website for students to leave course reviews and also tips and tricks and discovered people liked it. While the website was very unpolished, he saw how students were using it and decided it might be worth putting in more effort and seeing if he could expand the offering and make a viable business. Over last year, he became involved with Startup Dunedin and the Audacious business challenge and Momentum, the national student-led investment committee programme. That provided him with advice on how to take the "next steps" and included getting a team around him, which included his brother Sam, to work on it. What the team wanted to create was a one-stop hub for students to get course advice and it had evolved to be more than a review site, he said. It allowed students to plan their degrees, calculate entrance scores, manage timetables, choose accommodation and access curated study resources. CourseSpy now hosted more than 15,000 course reviews across all eight New Zealand universities and had had about 250,000 page visits, he said. In a recent user survey, the overwhelming majority of student users reported they had changed their future course selections based on insights gained through the platform. In the past year, CourseSpy had also launched Mastery Modules — interactive, adaptive question banks designed to guide students through each lecture and improve their long-term retention and grades. Those modules were built by a team of tutors and high-achieving students to ensure high-quality, course-specific learning support. Mr Bugden said his goal was to continue the rapid growth of CourseSpy by adding tutors and textbooks and further developing Mastery Modules for CourseSpy's proprietary learning platform while looking to expand overseas soon. He acknowledged the juggle between his medical studies and CourseSpy had been "tricky" to manage but said he had enjoyed learning about business and having a great team around him had been pivotal. He now wanted to involve more people in the project to ensure it was sustainable into the future. He was passionate about medicine and was looking forward to working as a doctor next year and it was likely he would take on more of a consulting role with CourseSpy. The winners will be announced at a function in Auckland on October 22.

Social media firms 'turning a blind eye' to child abuse material: watchdog
Australia's internet watchdog has said the world's biggest social media firms are still 'turning a blind eye' to online child sex abuse material on their platforms, and said YouTube in particular had been unresponsive to its enquiries. In a report released on Wednesday, the eSafety Commissioner said YouTube, along with Apple AAPL.O, failed to track the number of user reports it received of child sex abuse appearing on their platforms and also could not say how long it took them to respond to such reports. The Australian government decided last week to include YouTube in its world-first social media ban for teenagers, following eSafety's advice to overturn its planned exemption for the Alphabet-owned Google's GOOGL.O video-sharing site. 'When left to their own devices, these companies aren't prioritising the protection of children and are seemingly turning a blind eye to crimes occurring on their services,' eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said in a statement. 'No other consumer-facing industry would be given the licence to operate by enabling such heinous crimes against children on their premises, or services.' A Google spokesperson said 'eSafety's comments are rooted in reporting metrics, not online safety performance', adding that YouTube's systems proactively removed over 99% of all abuse content before being flagged or viewed. 'Our focus remains on outcomes and detecting and removing (child sexual exploitation and abuse) on YouTube,' the spokesperson said in a statement. Meta META.O - owner of Facebook, Instagram and Threads, three of the biggest platforms with more than 3 billion users worldwide - has said it prohibits graphic videos. The eSafety Commissioner, an office set up to protect internet users, has mandated Apple, Discord, Google, Meta, Microsoft MSFT.O, Skype, Snap SNAP.N and WhatsApp to report on the measures they take to address child exploitation and abuse material in Australia. The report on their responses so far found a 'range of safety deficiencies on their services which increases the risk that child sexual exploitation and abuse material and activity appear on the services'. Safety gaps included failures to detect and prevent livestreaming of the material or block links to known child abuse material, as well as inadequate reporting mechanisms. It said platforms were also not using 'hash-matching' technology on all parts of their services to identify images of child sexual abuse by checking them against a database. Google has said before that its anti-abuse measures include hash-matching technology and artificial intelligence. The Australian regulator said some providers had not made improvements to address these safety gaps on their services despite it putting them on notice in previous years. 'In the case of Apple services and Google's YouTube, they didn't even answer our questions about how many user reports they received about child sexual abuse on their services or details of how many trust and safety personnel Apple and Google have on-staff,' Inman Grant said.
