NVIDIA certifies VAST Data Platform for partners

NVIDIA has certified Vast Data Platform as a storage solution for its partner network cloud providers.

VAST provides a unified set of storage and data services that empower cloud service providers (CSPs) to offer a comprehensive catalogue of data-centric offerings deeply integrated with NVIDIA technologies.

Designed to meet the stringent requirements of large-scale AI cloud infrastructure, the VAST Data Platform supports training and fine-tuning AI models of all sizes and modes, ranging from multimodal and small language models with less than ten billion parameters to the world’s largest models consisting of over one trillion parameters.

“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,” said John Mao, vice president of technology alliances at VAST Data. “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.”

The VAST Data Platform enables service providers to have capabilities that span the complete AI pipeline. This includes multi-protocol data ingest, accelerated data preprocessing for feature engineering, and high-performance storage for model training to edge data management for model serving and compliance requirements.
