DASE Architecture
VAST’s Disaggregated and Shared-Everything (DASE) architecture separates compute from storage, enabling independent scaling, massive parallelism, and predictable high performance, providing the foundation for enterprise-scale AI.
Exabyte Scale
The VAST DASE architecture scales seamlessly to exabytes, accommodating the massive datasets required for large-scale AI. With a linearly scaling, shared-everything design, it ensures consistent, low-latency performance as data grows, without complex re-architecting.
Near-Zero Latency
VAST's DASE architecture eliminates "east-west" network traffic, providing near-zero latency for all workloads. By connecting compute and storage over high-speed NVMe-oF, the platform delivers the real-time data access that GPUs and AI require.
GPU Acceleration
Accelerate AI pipelines by feeding data to GPUs faster, ensuring maximum utilization and performance. VAST’s architecture provides direct, high-speed data access to GPUs, eliminating bottlenecks that can starve compute resources.
Zero Data Loss
Achieve superior resilience and constant availability with VAST’s DASE architecture. This ensures uncompromised integrity, so enterprises can trust their data for every AI and analytics workload without sacrificing performance.
Multi-Protocol Storage
VAST unifies all data types—object, file, block, structured, and vector—into a single platform. By eliminating the need for multiple systems, it simplifies operations, reduces complexity, and ensures all data is instantly available for AI and analytics.
Hybrid Cloud and Multi-Cloud Support
The VAST AI Operating System unifies data and workloads across on-prem, cloud, and edge environments. It delivers a consistent, high-performance experience everywhere, simplifying hybrid deployments and eliminating the silos of fragmented infrastructures.
Simplified Management
VAST is designed for simplicity, reducing complexity and admin overhead. With VAST Management Service (VMS), teams can easily deploy, monitor, and scale from a single control point—streamlining management for all data and workloads.
Unified AI Governance
The VAST AI Operating System unifies governance from raw object data to vector, eliminating the complexity of enforcing policies across disparate systems. Enterprises reduce risk with simplified compliance, consistent controls, and trusted AI pipelines at scale.
Fine-Grained Access Control
Fine-Grained Access Control (FGAC) in the VAST DataBase provides precise, row-and-column level control. This granular security ensures only authorized users or services can view specific information, strengthening compliance and protecting sensitive data.
Role-Based Access Control
VAST’s integrated Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) unifies governance from raw object data to derived vectors. Policies are applied across the entire AI pipeline, ensuring only authorized users and services get the right data, simplifying compliance and strengthening security.
Extreme Observability
Every data interaction is captured, providing extreme observability across AI workflows. This ensures full data control, auditability, and transparency, with clear insights that simplify compliance and build trust in enterprise AI operations.

What is VAST InsightEngine and how does it enable real-time AI pipelines?
What is VAST InsightEngine and how does it enable real-time AI pipelines?
VAST InsightEngine is a framework in the VAST AI Operating System for building, managing, and automating real-time AI pipelines.
Built on the VAST DataEngine, InsightEngine uses event-driven triggers and serverless functions to process data the moment it lands, enabling automated chunking, embedding, and storing it in the VAST DataBase's native vector store. These in-place, automated workflows eliminate traditional data movement and latency between data creation and AI inference, enabling continuous, real-time applications like semantic search, RAG, summarization, classification, and anomaly detection—all with unified governance and full observability.
What makes InsightEngine different from traditional AI pipeline platforms?
What makes InsightEngine different from traditional AI pipeline platforms?
InsightEngine is part of the VAST AI Operating System, the unified platform where all enterprise data—structured, unstructured, and vector—lives and operates together.
Built on the VAST DataEngine, InsightEngine automates the entire AI workflow from ingest to inference using an event-driven architecture with serverless triggers and functions that run directly on your data.
Unlike traditional platforms that depend on external orchestration and constant data movement between systems, InsightEngine processes everything in place, and storing/ retrieving vectors from the VAST DataBase’s native vector store. The result: real-time performance, unified governance, and frictionless AI at enterprise scale.
How does InsightEngine ensure AI security and governance at enterprise scale?
How does InsightEngine ensure AI security and governance at enterprise scale?
InsightEngine provides unified security and governance by seamlessly integrating file system permissions with vector search capabilities. Because VAST combines DataStore and DataBase in a single platform, it ensures users can only retrieve and interact with vectors derived from data they're explicitly authorized to access. Fine-grained access controls are enforced in real time across both raw and vectorized data, maintaining strict security and compliance throughout the entire AI pipeline from source to inference—something no other solution can deliver.
Can InsightEngine handle enterprise-scale document and video processing?
Can InsightEngine handle enterprise-scale document and video processing?
