VSP One for Mainframe
Accelerate federal missions with unmatched performance, scalability, resiliency, and sustainability for the most critical mainframe workloads, without disruption, risk, or compromise.
Maximize the value of your mainframe data
For decades, federal agencies have relied on mainframes to power the most mission-critical systems, from defense logistics and financial systems to intelligence, healthcare, and citizen services. VSP One for Mainframe modernizes that foundation while preserving the reliability, security, and availability agencies depend on.
Backed by over 40 years of mainframe storage innovation, VSP One for Mainframe enables agencies to modernize storage infrastructure without rewriting applications, disrupting operations, or increasing operational risk. Agencies gain modern flash performance, non-disruptive lifecycle management, and seamless integration across mainframe and open systems environments.

Modernize mainframe storage without disruption
A smarter path to mainframe modernization
Federal agencies are under pressure to modernize infrastructure while maintaining continuous operations. VSP One for Mainframe provides a low-risk modernization path by enabling agencies to adopt high-performance flash storage, advanced replication, and modern data services without changing applications or operational processes.
This solution supports seamless coexistence between mainframe and open-systems storage, allowing agencies to standardize platforms, simplify management, and strengthen cyber resilience across environments.
Key solution capabilities include:
-Non-disruptive migration from legacy mainframe storage
-All-flash NVMe performance for latency-sensitive workloads
-Synchronous and asynchronous replication across sites and security enclaves
-Unified storage management across mainframe and distributed systems
-Built-in resiliency to support continuity of operations (COOP)
U.S. Defense Agency
A U.S. Defense Agency responsible for operating and defending key Department of Defense cyber terrain engaged Hitachi to modernize enterprise storage supporting both mainframe and open systems workloads across multiple sites and security enclaves.
The agency required continuous availability, strong data protection, and the ability to modernize without disrupting mission operations.
Outcomes
