Building Agentic AI Clouds

Overview

DigitalOcean’s agentic cloud is supporting LLMs and AI developers. By partnering with VAST, they’ve unified their infrastructure, integrating vector databases and KV caches directly with storage.

Solutions

DigitalOcean uses VAST AI OS as a unified AI data platform to power its agentic cloud. By integrating VAST’s AI OS, they collapsed storage and database silos, slashing droplet boot times. This minimizes GPU idle time and simplifies the stack for developers building LLM applications.

Results

DigitalOcean slashed boot times from 120 seconds to 15 seconds and cut operational overhead by unifying storage and databases. By eliminating GPU idle time and minimizing latency, they optimized unit economics and simplified the stack, allowing developers to scale agentic AI apps with seamless efficiency.

  • Boot times dropped from 120 seconds to 15 seconds

  • Eliminated costly GPU idle time

  • Reduced complex operational infrastructure overhead
