VAST Data, a leading AI data platform company, has been named a leader in the October 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for File and Object Storage Platforms. This recognition highlights the company’s “Completeness of Vision” and “Ability to Execute”, especially for its unified distributed file system and object storage software platform.

According to the company, the platform provides a robust foundation that enhances enterprise workloads and improves data management.

“Over the last year, VAST’s technology innovation, thriving partner ecosystem and customer-obsessed execution has positioned VAST as a clear market leader,” said Marianne Budnik, CMO of VAST Data. “We look forward to continuing to help our customers realise the value of their growing data sets with the industry’s simplest, fastest, most scalable and efficient data platform.”

Strong partnerships and enhanced security

VAST Data has built significant partnerships with industry leaders, such as HPE, Cisco, Supermicro, and major hyperscalers. These collaborations enable VAST to deliver secure, efficient AI infrastructure to both service providers and enterprise customers. By working with these partners, organisations can seamlessly scale their AI workloads, benefiting from optimised performance, improved security, and reduced complexity across various computing environments.

Security is a major focus for VAST Data, particularly through its commitment to a Zero Trust Architecture framework. The company helps businesses securely manage sensitive data, ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of breaches. Key features such as encryption, least-privilege access, and anomaly detection enhance the platform’s ability to protect valuable information.

VAST’s platform also plays a critical role in supporting many of the industry’s emerging AI clouds and model-building projects. Its high-performance, scalable infrastructure is essential for managing the expansive datasets required to train and deploy cutting-edge AI models.

Another customer, a CTO in the education industry, also rated the platform 5/5, stating, “We want our training models operating at capacity and not sitting by waiting for data to be ingested.
