VAST Data Achieves High-Performance Storage Solution Certification for NVIDIA Partner Network Cloud Partners

VAST Data, a leading AI data platform company, has announced that its VAST Data Platform has been certified as a high-performance storage solution for NVIDIA Partner Network cloud partners. This certification highlights VAST's role as a premier data platform provider for AI cloud infrastructure, further solidifying its collaboration with NVIDIA in developing next-generation AI factories.

The VAST Data Platform offers a unified set of storage and data services that enable cloud service providers (CSPs) to deliver a wide range of data-centric offerings seamlessly integrated with NVIDIA technologies. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of large-scale AI cloud infrastructure, the platform supports the training and fine-tuning of AI models of all sizes, from small language models with fewer than ten billion parameters to the largest models with over one trillion parameters.

“This certification with NVIDIA builds on VAST’s significant success with CSPs as the preferred AI data platform solution for large-scale cloud infrastructure,” said John Mao, vice president of Technology Alliances at VAST Data. “With the VAST Data Platform independently validated and certified through the NVIDIA Partner Network, organizations can now deploy their AI models at an unprecedented scale across thousands of GPUs with greater confidence and security.”

The VAST Data Platform provides CSPs with comprehensive capabilities across the entire AI pipeline, including multi-protocol data ingestion, accelerated data preprocessing for feature engineering, high-performance storage for model training with fast checkpoints and restores, and edge data management for model serving. It also supports end-to-end cataloging to meet audit and compliance requirements.

Key Features of the VAST Data Platform for CSPs:

  • Service Provider-Grade Reliability: The platform helps production systems achieve 99.9999% availability.
  • Secure Multi-Tenancy: With a zero-trust framework, per tenant data encryption, flexible network segmentation, and robust audit capabilities, VAST ensures secure cloud services at scale.
  • Fine-Grained Workload Isolation: Granular quality-of-service policies prevent multi-tenant I/O contention, ensuring performance and data access for numerous customers from a single cluster.
  • Infrastructure Cost Savings: The platform allows for the consolidation of storage silos with an affordable all-flash solution, reducing overhead costs related to data copies and sprawl.
  • Improved Operational Efficiency: Robust APIs and SDKs, along with the ability to perform all Day 2 operations online, enhance customer experience and reduce the need for extensive administrative support.

The VAST Data Platform serves as the essential software infrastructure for capturing, cataloging, refining, enriching, and preserving data through real-time deep data analysis and learning. This comprehensive approach empowers AI clouds to offer a diverse range of data services to their customers, significantly enhancing their AI capabilities.
