Today at Autonomous 25, VAST is happy to announce a strategic partnership with Acceldata that unites two best-in-class platforms to deliver a comprehensive enterprise solution for modernizing legacy Hadoop and Cloudera environments.
Together, our technologies deliver a future-ready architecture that simplifies infrastructure, improves performance, and dramatically lowers costs. Moreover, VAST and Acceldata are preparing organizations to scale confidently into the age of AI.
Unlock AI Readiness by Modernizing Your Data Architecture
Legacy data stacks like Hadoop and Cloudera have reached the end of their runway, burdening teams with operational complexity, ballooning costs, and fragmented infrastructure that can’t meet the demands of modern AI workloads.
With VAST and Acceldata, enterprises can now take a transformative step forward. This joint solution combines:
The VAST Data Platform, built for unified storage, compute, and database services across structured and unstructured data
Acceldata’s powerful observability layer, delivering end-to-end visibility, cost optimization, and operational insights across modern and legacy environments
The result: a high-performance, scalable foundation for real-time analytics and enterprise AI, governed by a single access and security model.
Real-World Benefits
Modernizing your data stack isn’t just about performance. It’s about setting the stage for innovation. The VAST-Acceldata collaboration enables:
End-to-End Support Across the Stack: Get unified support from infrastructure to applications. Say goodbye to vendor sprawl and disconnected systems.
Massive Cost Savings: With over 50% reduction in support costs compared to legacy Cloudera environments and up to 60% lower infrastructure costs than traditional HDFS-based systems, VAST and Acceldata allow you to reclaim budget to foster AI innovation
An AI-Ready Architecture: Consolidate all your data - structured and unstructured - into a single platform optimized for modern data pipelines and high-throughput compute. Eliminate silos, simplify governance, and accelerate time to insight.
This joint solution is ideal for enterprises looking to achieve real-time observability across hybrid and multi-cloud data pipelines, support large-scale analytics and AI workloads with cost-optimized infrastructure, and unify data operations within a scalable, secure, and simplified architecture.
Modernize. Observe. Optimize. Transform.
Together, VAST and Acceldata offer a compelling migration path away from legacy complexity and toward a unified platform designed for AI and analytics at scale.
Join me and the VAST team at Autonomous 25 in San Francisco. I’ll be on a panel discussing these enterprise AI infrastructure topics and more with T-Mobile and US Bank. Hope to see you there!
