VAST Data extends global namespace capabilities with Google Cloud
VAST ’ s multi-petabyte scale data platform now supports AI workflows in Google Cloud .
VAST Data has made the VAST Data Platform available with Google Cloud . By extending the VAST Data Platform ' s global namespace with Google Cloud , organisations have the flexibility to deploy multi-node VAST Clusters either independently with Google Cloud or in conjunction with on-premises VAST clusters , offering the full suite of platform features to support both hybrid and native Google Cloud environments .
Part of the VAST Data Platform , the VAST DataSpace offers a unified , consistent data management layer to access , move , manage and protect structured and unstructured data across edge , on-premises and hybrid multicloud environments , beyond a single cluster .
This is made possible by VAST ’ s market disrupting DASE architecture separating data processing logic from data persistence , enabling the scaling of capacity and performance independently .
Cloud that is completely transparent to applications and users – serving data to everywhere requested while adhering to security and access protocols .
• Enable Collaboration Across Distributed Teams : Globally distributed organisations with data sets spanning multiple data centers across different geographies and Google Cloud regions can now collaborate , not on copies of data , but through predictive prefetching – benefiting from fast access to files or objects stored locally in any location .
• Accelerate Feature Engineering for AI : The VAST DataBase accelerates AI and data pipelines , enabling feature engineering with apps like Apache Spark . Organisations can spin up Spark clusters with Google Cloud and gain radical compute efficiencies through integration with the VAST DataBase .
• Ensure Cyber Resiliency with a Zero Trust Architecture : With granular access control , multitenancy with strict isolation , robust encryption , key management and intelligent threat detection capabilities – the VAST Data Platform allows organisations to adhere to the foundational principles of Zero Trust across clouds , while providing features like data indexing , search capabilities and cataloguing using tags and metadata to deliver a comprehensive and secure data management system .
Similar to VAST ' s DASE architecture , Google Cloud ' s offering of flexible configurations lays the groundwork for synergistic , optimised cloud solutions – parallels ideal for powering AI and data-intensive workloads in the cloud .
John Mao , Vice President , Technology Alliances , VAST Data , said : “ We ’ re enabling Google Cloud customers to take advantage of VAST natively on their preferred cloud platform , simplifying hybrid cloud data management , protection and access to accelerated computing cloud services , enabling faster time to value and accelerating innovation .” p
As organisations ’ datasets and cloud adoption continue to grow , this architecture ultimately , this allows for efficient , limitless scale and collaboration between multiple applications or users across hybrid cloud / multi-location environments – without having to manage multiple copies of their data .
These new VAST Data Platform capabilities help customers and partners to :
• Simplify Data Management in Hybrid cloud Architecture : The VAST Data Platform ’ s global namespace enables a single unified view of data across enterprise data centers and Google
