In this episode, Nicole speaks with Aaron Chaisson and Blake Golliher of VAST Data about how the company is reframing its mission for the AI era, centering on the idea of becoming the Operating System for AI. Aaron lays out the strategy behind this shift, while Blake—drawing on his deep background in building large-scale data platforms explains how the VAST SyncEngine enables customers to move and manage massive volumes of data across sites, clouds, and AI pipelines in real time.
