A new Total Economic Impact (TEI) study conducted by Forrester Consulting found that organisations using Hitachi Vantara’s Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) achieved a 285% return on investment (ROI), US$1.1 million in net present value (NPV) and payback in just seven months.
“Southeast Asia is moving fast on AI adoption, but data silos, low data quality, and rising security concerns are still slowing progress,” said Joe Ong, vice president, ASEAN, Hitachi Vantara. “We feel the Forrester TEI findings show that with the right infrastructure, enterprises can achieve both cost savings and agility—critical outcomes for the region’s digital future.”

The study found that a composite organisation representative of interviewed customers with experience using VSP One delivered measurable business value by improving operational efficiency, reducing costs and enabling scalability across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments.
Customers interviewed reported a 30% to 35% reduction in operational complexity, a data reduction ratio of up to 6:1, and significant time savings through automation and simplified management.
“We believe the study validates what we consistently hear from Southeast Asian enterprises: modern infrastructure investments pay for themselves quickly when they reduce complexity and improve efficiency,” said Adrian Johnson, senior vice president & general manager, The Americas and Asia Pacific, Hitachi Vantara. “Leaders from across the region confirmed these challenges and shared practical strategies for scaling AI securely and sustainably.”
