Reinventing Scale-Out Storage in the AI Era — VAST Forward Ep. 1

Imagine the possibilities if you could power all your workloads all the way from archive to high-performance data analytics to artificial intelligence, with one single all-flash cloud. In this talk, we introduce a new disaggregated architecture that, for the first time, makes it possible to realize the vision of a multiprotocol, all-flash data lake that combats data sprawl, data silos, and lowers the TCO by over 50%. Ultimately organizations unlock real-time performance, exabyte scale, and the assurance that their infrastructure will adapt as the applications evolve.

Unlock All-Flash Data Lakes At Archive Economics

Universal Storage is here to put an end to decades of storage compromise & storage tiering.  We’ve rethought how storage should be built by combining new technologies — Storage Class Memory, NVMe over Fabrics, Stateless Containers, and QLC Flash — and exploited them in ways never thought possible.

VAST’s revolutionary storage innovation enables Universal Storage to be used for all your data. Featuring global flash translation software that enables QLC flash to be used in enterprise environments for over a decade, guaranteed. Next generation erasure codes that bring the cost of error correction down to just 3% while delivering 100x more resilience than traditional erasure codes. Similarity-based data reduction that finds patterns across a namespace with granularity that’s 4,000 to 4M times smaller than traditional approaches, delivering the best reduction ratios of any storage ever, guaranteed.

Consolidate the stack. Unleash insights.
