Existing data infrastructures were not built for AI. They lack the integration, governance, and performance needed for continuous learning and real-time inference.
VAST Data Platform for AI Inferencing
Powering the Enterprise AI Revolution with VAST
Power hyperscale vector search, real-time ingest and vectorization, and fully automated RAG workflows on one unified platform. The VAST AI OS is built to deliver enterprise-grade performance, governance, and scale for the next generation of intelligent, data-driven applications.
The Enterprise AI Challenge
Outgrowing Legacy Data Infrastructure
Fragmented Data
Enterprise data is scattered across warehouses, clouds, and object stores, preventing AI from seeing a unified, governed view.
Unpredictable Latency
Tiered storage and siloed systems cause inconsistent query performance, stale embeddings, and unreliable inference.
Complexity and Cost
Stitching together storage, vector databases, ETL pipelines, and orchestration tools creates fragile pipelines and spiraling cost.
Why Now
The Inflection Point for Enterprise AI
Enterprises are standing at a turning point in AI. Until now, the cost and complexity of building real-time, large-scale AI pipelines made true operational AI impractical. Traditional architectures—designed for batch processing and tiered storage—simply couldn’t deliver the performance or economics required for continuous, intelligent systems.
VAST’s Disaggregated, Shared-Everything (DASE) architecture changes that equation. By unifying all-flash performance with linear scalability, DASE eliminates the trade-offs that have constrained enterprise AI for decades. What was once prohibitively expensive and operationally fragile is now both achievable and efficient.
For the first time, enterprises can build AI systems that perceive, reason, and act on live data in real time, transforming AI from an experimental initiative into a production-ready foundation for the business.
The VAST AI Operating System
Unified Infrastructure for Enterprise AI
VAST reimagines enterprise data architecture for the AI era, collapsing what once took five to ten tools into a single, unified system. Built on a generational Disaggregated Shared Everything (DASE) architecture, it simplifies, scales, secures, and accelerates every stage of the AI lifecycle.
Simplify
Consolidate all data and workloads into one flash-native platform. No copies, no silos, no integration overhead.
Scale
Linear scalability from terabytes to exabytes for all data types. The built-in vector store supports trillions of embeddings.
Secure and Govern
A unified governance model applies consistent identity, security, and compliance across every layer, from object to vector.
Accelerate
Event-driven pipelines and serverless functions run directly on your data, turning AI from batch-driven to continuous.
