Overview
VAST Data Platform for Enterprise Backup & Recovery
Ransomware’s Worst Enemy
The VAST Data Platform is an all-flash, scale-out, file, and object system that gives you an unfair advantage in the ransomware arms race. Powered by an entirely new system architecture, VAST eliminates the scale and performance limitations of purpose-built backup appliances (PBBAs) to enable fast backups and immediate recovery from large-scale ransomware attacks.

Ransomware makes all-flash data protection a necessity; the VAST Data Platform makes it an affordable reality. Ultra-resilient, ultra-reliable file and object services delivered with the simplicity of an enterprise NAS as the foundation of future-proof data protection.
Overview
Legacy backup and recovery aren’t built for the ransomware era.
The prevalence of ransomware attacks means IT organizations need to be ready for enterprise-wide system recovery. Many of the prominent backup solutions on the market today were born in the age of tape, setting a low bar for performance while putting a premium on saving costs. Legacy PBBAs focus on meeting backup windows while implementing data reduction technologies that impose a severe restore penalty of up to 4-10 times compared to backup speed. Often customers are left to discover this recovery limitation at the worst possible times.
The VAST Data Platform enables organizations to restore 50x faster than legacy PBBAs. With support for advanced data protection features like object lock, ransomware-proof snapshots, and instant recovery capabilities, VAST is the foundation for a future-proof data protection strategy.

Key Benefits
The foundation for business continuity.
VAST Data breaks the decades-old tradeoff between performance and capacity with a new architecture that enables unlimited processing on affordable flash, at up to exabyte scale. VAST’s DASE architecture scales performance and capacity independently by disaggregating the capacity provided by ultra-dense flash from the performance provided by the stateless VAST Servers. With support for industry-leading backup applications, VAST makes it simple for organizations to modernize data center infrastructure and fortify their data protection strategy.
