VAST Data

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

The company's systems run exabyte-scale AI pipelines from edge to cloud, and its customer base includes xAI, CoreWeave, Pixar and the NHL, along with leading global GPU cloud providers. More than 25% of the Fortune 100 use the platform. VAST Data reached a $9.1B valuation in 2024 and is described as one of the fastest-growing enterprise infrastructure companies in history.

Technical work spans AI infrastructure, data storage, database systems, compute services, deep learning infrastructure, real-time AI workloads and GPU cloud infrastructure. The industry sectors served include artificial intelligence, GPU cloud provision, media and entertainment, sport and enterprise data platforms.

The company describes its culture as one built by experienced professionals who lived through the limitations of legacy infrastructure and set out to build something better, with a challenger mindset and a mission-driven focus on overcoming those limitations for the AI era.
