Hitachi Vantara’s VSP E590 platform stood out as the optimal solution because it allowed the agency to modernize without discarding their existing Nexsan arrays. Unlike competing vendors that demanded complete hardware replacement, Hitachi offered storage virtualization technology capable of integrating third-party storage under a single, unified management interface. This approach enabled the agency to preserve its prior investments while consolidating control and improving operational efficiency. The VSP E590 architecture, complemented by management tools like Ops Center and VSP360, simplified day-to-day operations and provided full visibility into the environment. The deployment was straightforward, scalable, and delivered enterprise-grade reliability without exceeding budget limits. Additionally, Hitachi’s continued support for third-party hardware reduced dependence on expensive OEM maintenance contracts, offering the agency greater flexibility and cost control while setting a foundation for long-term growth.
