This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on January 18, 2021 at 2:19 pmVAST Data Ltd announced that a major US Federal Agency has committed over $10 million on its Universal Storage to consolidate their data analytics infrastructure into a single, flash-based storage system that will support the needs of grand-challenge data science.
This is the latest in a series of customers to exceed $10 million in cumulative investment in this technology. The agency will utilize ity to unlock the secrets hidden within vast reserves of biological, population and health data.
“This new customer is the latest in a line of new data pioneers who are not making significant investments in VAST’s Universal Storage platform but are making the decision to no longer victimize applications and administrators with the complexity that comes from hard-drive based storage and tiered data environments,” said Renen Hallak, founder and CEO. “For this customer, VAST was ultimately selected because of its superior price, performance, and capacity proposition and its enterprise-grade reputation in helping customers scale beyond the limitations and roadblocks tied to legacy infrastructure.“
