VAST Data

VAST Data builds the AI Operating System, a global data platform that unifies storage, database, and compute services in a single architecture, designed to let intelligent agents store, think, communicate and act. The company's core technical contribution is DASE (Disaggregated Shared Everything), an architecture intended to remove the traditional trade-offs between performance, scale and cost, and to make previously untapped data usable for real-time AI workloads.

The platform is used to power exabyte-scale AI pipelines from edge to cloud, across workloads spanning deep learning, GPU cloud infrastructure and real-time inference. Named customers include xAI, CoreWeave, Pixar and the NHL, and the company reports adoption by more than 25% of the Fortune 100. In 2024 VAST Data was valued at $9.1B.

Technical work at the company sits across storage systems, database systems, compute services and AI infrastructure, with deployments spanning global edge-to-cloud environments and verticals including GPU cloud provision, entertainment and enterprise infrastructure. The company describes its team as experienced practitioners who built the platform in response to limitations they encountered in legacy infrastructure.
