COUNTRY FOCUS : WEST COAST help industrialise AI computing ,” said Jeff Denworth , co-founder , VAST Data .
“ This new architecture is the perfect showcase to express the parallelism of the VAST Data Platform . With NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs , we can now realise the full potential of our vision for disaggregated data centers that we ’ ve been working toward since the company was founded .”
This new VAST architecture – running VAST software on BlueField DPUs in the AI servers – is being tested and deployed first at CoreWeave , the specialised GPU cloud provider .
VAST and CoreWeave began partnering in 2023 to build some of the world ’ s most scalable AI machinery and to help many of the world ’ s leading LLM builders and blue-chip enterprise customers build their own AI factories .
“ With VAST ’ s operating system , next-generation accelerated computing solutions are paired with next-generation accelerated network infrastructure , enabling enterprises and service providers to benefit from simpler , more secure experiences with high-performance systems ,” said Rob Davis , Vice President of Storage Technology , NVIDIA .
Peter Salanki , VP of Engineering , CoreWeave , said : “ VAST ’ s revolutionary architecture is a game-changer for CoreWeave , enabling us to fully disaggregate our data centers . We ’ re seamlessly integrating VAST ’ s advanced software directly into our GPU clusters .
“ Leveraging NVIDIA BlueField DPUs , we ’ ve been at the forefront of creating sophisticated , softwaredefined data center abstractions .
“ Now , by natively incorporating storage and database services onto BlueField , we ’ re not just streamlining our infrastructure but we are also elevating the user experience for our customers by removing bottlenecks in the AI data computing pipeline . CoreWeave is not just keeping pace with the future of cloud data management – we are defining it .”
