Historically, Vast Data and Cisco have already collaborated on technical integrations, notably by combining Vast Data's storage solutions with Cisco's unified infrastructures to meet performance needs in data centers. The new integration here is the creation of a complete, packaged, and ready-to-use joint offering, specifically designed for large-scale AI use cases.
Specifically, this new offering combines Cisco servers and Ethernet switches with Vast Data's unified platform—Vast Data Platform—which integrates a database engine, distributed storage, and a task orchestrator. The goal is to offer a ready-to-use infrastructure capable of supporting highly demanding data and AI work without the complexities of integration. Thanks to this integrated approach, customers benefit from faster implementation, a lower total cost of ownership, and horizontal scalability adapted to the evolution of their uses.
This alliance is particularly interesting for Vast Data, which confirms its attractiveness to leaders in the technology sector. Already a partner of Nvidia, HPE and Lambda, the company is expanding its distribution and its footprint with large accounts, while strengthening the relevance of its software architecture in critical environments. It also recently integrated Google Cloud infrastructure , propelling it even further to the forefront. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in New York, Vast Data is one of the most dynamic players in the data infrastructure sector. The company has raised more than $380 million since its inception, with a valuation of $9.1 billion .
