VAST Data Platform capabilities include managing files, objects and blocks, tables, and streaming data within a single, unified architecture.
VAST Data has introduced new capabilities to deliver a unified data platform designed for the AI era. With the addition of Block storage functionality, the VAST DataStore now serves as a universal storage platform. VAST Data also launched the VAST Event Broker, an Apache Kafka-compatible event streaming service that facilitates real-time data ingestion and processing while enabling native querying of event topics through VAST DataBase APIs. By merging event streaming with structured analytics, enterprises can now handle all data types and workloads within a single system.
These developments position the VAST Data Platform as the only exascale solution capable of linearly scaling parallel data access performance for every data type —file, object, block, table, and streaming. By making all data accessible in a single system, enterprises can eliminate separate storage silos and address all workloads with a unified architecture. This approach delivers high performance, unlimited scalability, and optimal economics, accelerating the path to real-time insights and streamlined AI adoption.
With the addition of Block storage, VAST has redefined large-scale data management by combining previously siloed infrastructures into one platform. Key enterprise data services such as snapshots, replication, multi-tenancy, QoS, encryption, and granular RBAC are all provided natively in the VAST Data Platform. The introduction of VAST Event Broker unifies transactional, analytical, AI, and real-time streaming workloads. Organizations are now presented with real-time analytics, AI/ML data pipelines, and event-driven workflows via simplified management, stronger observability, and expanded SQL query capabilities.
The addition of native Block storage and the VAST Event Broker further enhances the platform’s capacity to support virtualized and containerized environments, including:
Boot from SAN: Simplified Management and High Availability: Booting from Storage Area Networks (SAN) allows enterprises to streamline server deployment and management by reducing dependency on local disks. This method enhances disaster recovery and improves redundancy. It also facilitates the rapid provisioning of new virtual or bare-metal servers while ensuring consistent performance across IT environments.
With the introduction of the VAST Event Broker, organizations gain integrated event-streaming and analytics capabilities, including:
Combining native Block storage with the VAST Event Broker, VAST Data remains committed to a single-platform vision that supports transactional, analytical, AI-driven workloads and real-time data streaming. Organizations can now seamlessly modernize their IT infrastructure and reduce management complexity.
