VAST Data Platform gains NVIDIA certification

AI data platform company VAST Data has had its platform certified as a high-performance storage solution for NVIDIA Partner Network cloud partners. The company said the certification with NVIDIA validates the Vast Data Platform’s ability to meet the stringent requirements of large-scale AI cloud infrastructure.

The platform claims to offer cloud service providers 99.9999% availability, as well as secure multi-tenancy with a zero-trust framework and per-tenant data encryption. It also offers robust APIs and SDKs as well as the ability to provide all upgrades and other Day 2 operations online. Service providers and enterprises can also use the platform to consolidate storage silos to reduce the overhead of data copies and sprawl, leading to infrastructure cost savings.

VAST Data VP for technology alliances John Mao said the platform will enable cloud service providers to offer a range of data-centric offerings that are deeply integrated with NVIDIA technologies. This allows for training and fine-tuning of AI models of all sizes and modes.

“This certification with NVIDIA builds on VAST’s already tremendous success with CSPs as the de facto AI data platform solution for large-scale, cloud infrastructure,” he said. “With the VAST Data Platform independently validated and certified through the NVIDIA Partner Network, organisations can more confidently and securely deploy their AI models at unprecedented scale across thousands of GPUs.”

NVIDIA’s network of cloud partners includes Australian providers such as xAmplify and Firmus.
