USC CARC Powers AI with VAST

Overview

The Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC) at the University of Southern California provides advanced computational research support across campus. It serves as a multidisciplinary hub empowering faculty, grads, and staff with high-performance computing, AI execution, and data-intensive solutions.

Solutions

To eliminate legacy infrastructure silos and manage exploding data volumes, USC CARC deployed the VAST Data Platform. Consolidating onto a highly flexible 10PB system, the program established a scalable, unified data foundation to power its intensive AI and computational research.

Results

USC CARC dramatically simplified its day-to-day administration and future-proofed its operations. The program now leverages a highly flexible, multi-tenant environment supported by VAST's highly responsive and deeply collaborative co-pilot support model.
