VAST Data

VAST Data builds an AI Operating System - a global data platform that unifies storage, database, and compute services to support AI and deep-learning workloads at scale. The company's DASE (Disaggregated Shared Everything) architecture is designed to eliminate traditional tradeoffs between performance, scale, and cost, enabling organizations to harness 90% of their previously untapped data for real-time AI workloads.

The platform powers exabyte-scale AI pipelines and is trusted by over 25% of the Fortune 100, alongside leading GPU cloud providers and named customers including xAI, CoreWeave, Pixar, and the NHL. VAST Data operates globally with edge-to-cloud deployment capabilities, serving enterprise infrastructure, cloud providers, and AI-focused organizations across sectors from entertainment to professional sports.

The company operates with what it describes as a challenger mindset, built by experienced professionals who worked through the constraints of legacy infrastructure. At a $9.1 billion valuation as of 2024, VAST Data positions itself as foundational infrastructure for the AI era, replacing systems that cannot keep pace with current AI demands.
