Strong growth thanks to an innovative approach

A technology company founded in 2016, Vast Data specializes in enterprise data storage solutions. It was founded by Renen Hallak, Shachar Fienbit and Jeff Denworth. The former was previously at XtremIO as head of Research and Development. The other two were with Kaminario and CTERA Networks respectively.

As artificial intelligence continues to grow in importance, the New York-based company is designing a new data infrastructure. Its approach is based on understanding and building a platform to power tomorrow's supercomputers. Part of the Vintage Altaroc Odyssey 2021, it is valued at over $9 billion.

Continuous innovation for enhanced performance

The power of the Vast Data platform lies in the unification of its components. It comprises a data store, a database and an artificial intelligence calculation engine. Access to data is thus provided by a single system. Then, it regularly adds new functionalities to meet the evolving needs of companies specializing in AI.

Vast Data recently introduced block storage. Available from March, this feature has been extended to its multiprotocol data storage platform. Centralized data access simplifies management of all workloads. This improves performance without compromising scalability or increasing costs.

Flexibility to adapt to a wide range of requirements

Block storage offers a number of advantages. As well as improving data management, it consolidates the infrastructure into a single, multi-protocol platform. At the same time, Vast Data offers a suite of enterprise services such as granular access control, encryption and more. This enables integration into different environments without compatibility problems.

What's more, in modern companies, two types of workload generally coexist. Virtualized and containerized workloads often give rise to disparate storage systems, making day-to-day management difficult and increasing overheads. With this new feature, data processing and analysis are made easier, in real time.
