We’re honored that VAST has been named to the 2025 CNBC Disruptor 50.
The Disruptor 50 is a prestigious list recognizing the most innovative and fast-growing private companies transforming the economy. VAST’s inclusion reinforces our position at the epicenter of the world’s AI revolution and the broader technology landscape.
It also underscores an extraordinary year of industry recognition for VAST. We’ve been named to the Forbes AI 50, the Forbes Cloud 100, the Gartner MQ Leader quadrant, and just today, the Redpoint InfraRed 100.
Meanwhile, the business has reached historic milestones, including taking the fastest path to $2 billion in cumulative bookings of any data company in history and growing nearly 5x YoY in the first quarter of this year compared to last - all while maintaining a cashflow-positive business model. A verified Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 84 further underscores the deep satisfaction and loyalty of our customers.
We believe this hypergrowth and customer feedback reflects the market’s demand for an operating system purpose-built to operationalize AI at unprecedented scale.
VAST provides the operating system for AI. The VAST Data AI OS streamlines how organizations store, access, and process data to accelerate AI breakthroughs. We bring together the infrastructure needed for AI into a unified software layer that makes it faster and easier to turn data into intelligence.
Learn more about enterprise agentic AI and the challenges around harnessing infrastructure, data, and tooling in this Moor Insights & Strategy research paper.
AI environments aren’t driven by traditional enterprise software. They require systems capable of ingesting and processing enormous volumes of unstructured, real-world data (imagery, video, telemetry, and text) in real time, at a scale measured in exabytes. And legacy infrastructure, built for transactional and analytical workloads, cannot keep up.
That’s why a new kind of operating system is needed, one designed for AI’s unique demands on data, compute, and infrastructure.
In the same way Linux and Windows once defined the operating systems of their eras, AI needs a platform designed for intelligent, real-time, high-scale operation. VAST’s vision for this new era is already here and it’s setting the new standard for AI infrastructure.
The VAST AI OS helps organizations break through the boundaries of legacy infrastructure to build intelligent systems that see, reason, and decide in real time. Customers can harness their data in ways never before possible, enabling everything from high-performance sports storytelling to advanced scientific research.
The Disruptor 50 recognition reminds us why we do what we do, but we’re even more energized by the road ahead. Thank you to CNBC, our customers, partners, and the entire VAST team for being part of this journey.
This is just the beginning.
