The VAST DATA NAS business platform has now been officially approved as a storage platform for Nvidia’s DGX SuperPOD AI development platform. According to VAST DATA, its platform is the first NAS solution certified to handle large volumes of AI and deep learning workloads, providing users with a certified datastore for Nvidia DGX SuperPOD. This should help them with scalable performance for machine learning and deep learning workloads, such as generative AI solutions, making AI easier and faster to use, as well as easier to manage.
VAST DATA has been working with Nvidia since 2016 to integrate high-performance storage systems and AI solutions. Under the hood, VAST DATA offers its own DASE architecture that should further expand the possibilities of high-performance storage, eliminating data tiers and infrastructure silos. This architecture provides encryption, authentication, remote key management capabilities, and a data catalog to better manage data management and security.
The multi-tenant architecture of the VAST DATA platform should provide GPU service providers with the right tenant domains for securing and isolating data, as well as providing QOS control capabilities. In addition, VAST DATA systems offer cost savings and enhanced protection capabilities with n-1 and 1-n replication technologies and up to 1 million ransomware-protected snapshots.
HPE has recently brought its GreenLake cloud experience to on-prem block and file storage.
