Ask any storage team what has changed over the last five years, and you'll hear a version of the same answer: everything grew and became more complex all at once. More applications, more data, more platforms, more places for a problem to hide. Complexity outpaced the teams meant to manage it. The staffing math makes it worse. Two-thirds of data center operators now struggle to hire or retain qualified staff.

SAP environments are built to support the business as it grows. Hitachi Vantara’s Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) Block High End is certified by SAP to support up to 1,008 SAP HANA nodes. That certification gives organizations a validated benchmark for the scale the platform can support, providing greater confidence as they consolidate, modernize and grow large SAP environments. But scale is only part of what mission-critical SAP systems require.

Recent headlines are impossible to ignore. AI adoption is driving an enormous surge in demand for energy to power data centers and the storage systems operating within them. Energy constraints have become a primary bottleneck for data center development, with long grid connection queues and capacity backlogs.
