Built from a modern foundation
Fast networking combines with low-cost flash and storage class memory to enable new algorithmic concepts.
Technology Foundation
Fast networking combines with low-cost flash and storage class memory to enable new algorithmic concepts.
NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF) enables commodity data center networks to transform into scalable storage fabrics that combine the performance of NVMe DAS with the efficiency of shared storage infrastructure.
QLC flash is the newest generation of high-density flash that enables the economic goals of the VAST concept while providing the NVMe flash performance to power the world's most demanding applications.
For the first time in 30 years, Intel has introduced a new non-volatile storage media that is positioned in the media hierarchy between flash and DRAM. Storage Class Memory memory is the enabling technology that makes it possible to field QLC in enterprise environments.

Running the logic of the VAST cluster across a dynamically scalable pool of containers.
learn moreInterconnecting servers and enclosures over commodity data center networks.
learn moreProviding fault-tolerant, global access to the state of the system.
learn moreindependently scale performance and capacity
Scale storage independently of the CPUs that run the logic of a VAST cluster — only buy capacity when you just need capacity, and performance when you just need more IOPS.
segment server pools by application
Server pools are key to enabling application consolidation onto one scalable all-flash platform, by provisioning dedicated resources for demanding applications or tenants. Pools can easily be scaled up and down as the needs of applications change, thanks to DASE.

Key Benefits
VAST Servers are loosely coupled in the namespace and all enjoy equal access to shared, persistent NVMe devices over NVMe-oF. This high performance infrastructure enables VAST Servers to be stateless machines that do not have to coordinate IO requests with each other, unlike shared-nothing storage systems. By eliminating cluster cross-talk, the VAST DASE Architecture scales better and is more resilient than legacy scale-out architectures.
no cache coherency challenges.
Performance scales linearly when operations no longer need global coordination.no batteries required.
VAST clusters are 100% non-volatile. Never worry about UPSs or batteries again.no rebuilds during server failure.
Statelessness eliminates rebuilds when servers fail, failover is instantaneous.docker-based auto-scaling.
Containerized architecture lays the foundation for autonomous, adaptive cluster scaling.The global view provided by VAST’s DASE architecture enables VAST Servers to achieve unprecedented levels of flash affordability & system longevity. New global algorithms are now possible, driving down acquisition costs by increasing cluster efficiency.
better scalabilty.
VAST clusters build a global namespace from one shared pool of metadata and data storage that can scale to data center proportions.game-changing flash efficiency.
VAST's new global flash translation system makes it possible to deploy QLC flash, even in transactional environments, for over a decade.superior system utilization.
VAST's global approach to data protection breaks the long-standing tradeoff between resilience and cost with just 3% overhead.revolutionary data efficiency.
New global data reduction algorithms deliver superior storage efficiency for structured, unstructured and even pre-compressed data.
