VAST Data, the AI data platform company, announced that the company has unveiled its newest software release, version 5.0, extending the capabilities of the VAST Data Platform with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enable significant cloud cost savings of up to 80 per cent.
Today, AWS customers can streamline and accelerate their AI workflows and optimise hybrid cloud deployments across multiple AWS regions via a single control plane. With the VAST Data Platform, organisations benefit from enterprise data management capabilities and infrastructure efficiencies to easily manage files, objects, and tables wherever computation happens. Additionally, cloud-native organisations can now start their journey with VAST in the cloud to gain access to the transformative capabilities of the VAST Data Platform.
As an AWS Partner, VAST offers organisations an alternative to existing approaches to data management, where they would otherwise need to seek out and integrate independent enterprise NAS solutions, object storage, parallel file systems and data warehouse tools in order to build end-to-end data pipelines. For the first time, enterprises can now consolidate all of their structured and unstructured data management into a unified data platform that can be deployed across private clouds and all AWS regions.
By unifying a multi-modal data management environment, organisations can avoid incurring excess infrastructure costs by eliminating cross-protocol data sprawl and leveraging VAST’s unique Similarity-based data reduction to further reduce the cost of data infrastructure.
Among the joint customers leveraging the VAST Data Platform on AWS is the Allen Institute:
“Every day we collect hundreds of terabytes of new data for neural genomics research, and we manage these massive datasets across our own private clouds and AWS for rapid, global data access,” said David Feng, Director of Scientific Computing at the Allen Institute. “The VAST Data Platform makes it simple for the Allen Institute to rapidly share and process data anywhere. These new hybrid cloud enhancements give our researchers and partners easy-to-use tools to build global AI pipelines that facilitate and accelerate our pursuit of new scientific discoveries.”
In addition, as part of software update 5.0, VAST unveiled new capabilities and enhancements, including:
“The VAST Data Platform is the simplest, fastest, most efficient and most secure way for customers to achieve AI-powered insights from all of their data, across private and public clouds,” said Jeff Denworth, Co-Founder of VAST Data. “Today we’re enabling customers to quickly deploy VAST across AWS regions and establish inter-cluster relationships for data availability – making it that much easier for cloud-native organisations to take advantage of the VAST Data Platform.”
