Business Overview
Business Description
Headquartered in New York City, VAST Data is simplifying the data center and redefining how organizations interact with data with its Universal Storage concept.The VAST DASE architecture and Universal Storage concept lays the foundation for dramatic efficiency gains at every level. Mellanox Ethernet high-performance and low latency interconnects are the backbone. The combination allows for easier administration with less data center impact when everything is stored on highdensity flash. With the proper network in place for the data to traverse, pipelines run faster thanks to the most efficient data movement via offloads, accelerators and RDMA-enabled capabilities. All this contributes to the most efficient handling of complex computations and fast and efficient data delivery that enable world leading AI platforms to unleash life science insights.

AI Description
VAST combines the single-host performance and scalability of a parallel file system with the simplicity of an all Flash NAS appliance. By marrying the performance of Flash with economics that are otherwise only found in HDD-based archive storage, VAST enables AI applications to consolidate infrastructure and accelerate the training and inference time. VAST Data provides the ideal architecture to accelerate, scale and simplify DGX-A100 clusters. With our new support for GPUDirect®, customers can achieve full bandwidth from a single NFS mount point to unleash the potential of AI without HPC storage complexity. VAST Data provides the ideal architecture to accelerate, scale and simplify DGX-2 AI computers. With our new support for GPUDirect, customers can achieve over 85GB/s of bandwidth from a single NFS mount point to unleash the potential of AI without HPC storage complexity. For any Nvidia AI GPU, VAST Data provides the ideal architecture to accelerate, scale and simplify A100-based computing. With our new support for GPUDirect, customers can achieve up to 25GB/s per GPU from a single NFS mount point to unleash the potential of AI without HPC storage complexity.
