Modern Infrastructure, Zero Trade-Offs: Simplifying Virtualization and Container Operations for Service Providers
Today’s Service Providers run it all—VMware, Kubernetes, OpenStack, KVM, Hyper-V, and everything in between. Juggling multiple stacks is the norm, not the exception. But with that flexibility comes complexity, cost, and architectural sprawl.
In this session we discuss how VAST delivers seamless integration across a broad range of technologies—supporting NFS datastores for all major hypervisors, native plugins for VMware (VAAI) and OpenStack (Cinder & Manila), mature K8S CSI/COSI drivers (block, file & Object), and even Hyper-V support (SMB3). No silos, no compromises.
Join our speakers, Rob Girard and Jason Massae, to explore how Service Providers are using VAST’s universal data platform to reduce operational overhead, boost performance, and scale smarter.
In this session, they covered:
How VAST enables unified and concurrent support for VMware, Kubernetes, OpenStack, Hyper-V, and more using a robust set of commonly deployed enterprise-grade protocols and strong multi-tenancy features
The key infrastructure pain points driving up OPEX—and how to reverse the trend
Real-world examples of SPs simplifying ops while scaling flexibly and efficiently
Why providers who need performance and platform freedom choose VAST
