Who is VAST relevant for?

The VAST Data Platform is highly relevant for organizations that work with large-scale, high-value data, especially in AI, research, analytics, and complex infrastructure environments.

Businesses benefit most when they require scalable infrastructure for training AI models, running deep analytics, or consolidating complex storage systems into a single, unified platform without sacrificing performance or simplicity.

VAST is especially interesting for business within:

  • Life Science & Healthcare
  • Government, Defense & Research Institutions
  • Manufacturing & Automative
  • Financial Services

How does VAST support AI and deep learning?

By storing all your data in one unified system and enabling real-time data processing and analytics, VAST lets you train more accurate AI models and run live inference — all on the same platform.

What architecture powers VAST?

VAST uses a DASE (Disaggregated, Shared‑Everything) architecture, which separates compute nodes from storage. This enables independent scaling of CPU and storage, eliminates east‑west traffic, and delivers high performance and horizontal scale.

Dive deeper into the architecture here

How does it support mixed data types?

VAST natively supports unstructured files, tabular data (e.g., Parquet), and real-time streams (e.g., Kafka). You can read/write via NFS, SMB, or S3 while also querying tables directly—no need for separate ETL pipelines.

How many snapshots can VAST take?

Thanks to its DASE storage layer, VAST supports up to one million snapshots in a single cluster — instant, fine‑grained, and multidimensional.

What hardware is used for physical storage?

VAST’s DataStore uses a combination of Storage-Class Memory (SCM) for metadata and QLC flash for capacity. It delivers high performance with enterprise endurance and long warranty support.

Can VAST replace a full data stack?

Yes! VAST consolidates file store, object store, database, and streaming ingestion into a single platform, eliminating traditional layers like ETL pipelines, separate lakes, and warehouses.
