The Hummingbird Standard: Redefining Absolute Data Availability

For CDOs and CTOs, the conversation is about the massive gap between 99.9999% and 99.999999% availability. While the competition measures downtime in seconds, Hitachi Vantara has narrowed it down to milliseconds — the time it takes for a hummingbird to beat its wing once. Watch Matthew Hardman, chief technology officer for Asia Pacific at Hitachi Vantara, as he introduces the VSP One Block High-End—the powerhouse of the VSP One platform. He also shows how the VSP One platform can help you build a data foundation that does more than just store information and accelerates business outcomes.

Key takeaways:

• Unrivaled throughput: The VSP One Block High-End delivers 50 million IOPS, providing the massive performance required to consolidate diverse applications onto a single, high-efficiency platform.
• The “Hummingbird” standard: Discover the technical reality of eight-nines availability, which reduces annual downtime from 31 seconds (industry standard) to just 314 milliseconds.
• Engineered for innovation: Learn how the VSP One platform, managed via VSP 360, simplifies data infrastructure so leadership can focus on AI and digital transformation rather than maintenance.
• Data-first business results: Hardman explains why ultra-low latency and absolute uptime are the primary drivers for superior customer experiences and sustainable competitive advantage.
