In unpredictable markets, count on unwavering infrastructure. Make split-second decisions with VAST and eliminate concerns around latency and complexity. With a unified data architecture and built-in security, VAST delivers the speed and reliability needed to stay ahead in fast-moving environments— all while reducing costs and advancing your infrastructure.

Overview

Boost Your Alpha with VAST

Today, so much of what defines success in the financial industry is dependent on how quickly one can access, analyze and act upon data. Traditional infrastructures – often designed as siloed, slow-moving systems – simply can’t keep up with what makes high-frequency trading and data-driven investment strategies a reality. These inefficiencies stand in direct opposition with the core objectives of many hedge funds. 

As strategies become more reliant on real-time data, the demand for ultra-low latency and scalable data solutions is more urgent than ever. Legacy systems lack the speed and agility necessary to support real-time decision-making and capitalize on market opportunities. And the right infrastructure must not only meet today’s demands but also anticipate the requirements of evolving data sets in the future - a system that scales effortlessly while maintaining performance standards and addressing security concerns. 

All of this comes with the challenge of managing operational expenses. Inefficiencies in data centers and legacy systems can inflate costs, cutting into returns. Balancing performance, scalability, and cost efficiency is a delicate task. It’s a task that requires an innovative approach to infrastructure – one that modern platforms, like VAST Data’s, can address directly.

Key Benefits

Hedge Your Bets, Not Your Data

VAST Data provides hedge funds with a platform built for real-time, data-driven decisions. With ultra-low latency, scalable storage and streamlined infrastructure, VAST simplifies data management, supports AI-driven insights, and keeps your operations secure. By cutting costs and boosting performance, VAST allows you to focus on growth and stay ahead in dynamic financial markets.

High-Speed Processing for Immediate Decision-Making

Make the most of every millisecond. In markets where things are ever-changing, profitability can also change in less than a moment’s notice. Whether you’re assessing market sentiment, deploying advanced algorithms, or executing a trade, real-time data access and low latency are a must. The VAST Data Platform features a high-performance S3 solution that delivers a 3x increase in data platform performance. That translates to absolute agility and timely decision-making when it matters most.

Seamless Scaling to Manage Massive Data Volumes

VAST’s exabyte-scale storage accommodates enormous amounts of structured and unstructured data. And on top of that, our linear scale-out capabilities can accommodate fluctuating data demands with ease. Ensure your infrastructure accommodates you, not the other way around. Efficiently manage and store data sets without the risk of bottlenecks from performance or capacity limitations. From tracking global macroeconomic trends to following individual transactions, VAST scales to meet your needs, no matter the size or complexity.

Streamlined Data Workflow and Infrastructure Management

Legacy systems are often fragmented and ill-equipped to meet the needs of modern trading and analytics. But VAST’s all-flash architecture is built with the complexities of AI workloads in mind.  The VAST Data Platform simplifies infrastructure management through its innovative architecture, consolidating multiple data management tasks into a single solution. It also revolutionizes data workflow management by automating and streamlining entire processes. These features pave the way for more efficient operations, allowing teams to spend less time managing infrastructure and more time delivering consistent, positive returns for clients.

Security that Keeps Pace with Market Demands

In an industry all about managing and mitigating risk, your infrastructure should be just as resilient and adaptive. Every component is important – from sensitive client data to your own internal trading strategies and proprietary algorithms. VAST Data’s systems provide built-in data encryption and immutability features, ensuring data is secure at rest and in transit. The platform’s architecture also supports rapid recovery in the event of cyberattacks or data corruption, maintaining business continuity. This ensures credibility while fostering trust with regulators and customers alike.

Support for Advanced Analytics and AI

The highly data-driven nature of hedge funds lends itself impossibly well for the adoption of AI. Think: predictive analytics, risk assessments, automated trading strategies, and more. VAST’s integration with leading analytics tools allows for the seamless adoption of cutting-edge technologies. Expect accelerated time-to-insights as the VAST Data Platform addresses needs across the entire data pipeline, from data capture, to data preparation, model training, and model serving.

Optimize Operational Expenses without Sacrificing Growth

Poor and inefficient data center management can lead to ballooning operational costs. These costs further inflate expenses and distract from your firm’s true vision. The VAST Data Platform can enhance data center efficiency by optimizing resource utilization and cutting operational expenses. Our architecture reduces the need for extensive capacity – up to 80%. The result is improved performance without major financial costs.
