Vast Data in Partnership with HPE

Vast Data Ltd announced that Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP (HPE) has incorporated Vast Data’s file software platform into the HPE GreenLake for File Storage service.

By leveraging Vast’s scale-out software architecture for the GreenLake for File Storage, enterprise customers can manage unstructured data with performance at scale to deliver superior time to data insight.

“Media creation is on the rise, across enterprise, commercial and consumer use cases. As a result, unstructured storage is becoming increasingly necessary and increasingly complex for organizations ranging from life sciences to media/entertainment and financial services,” said Tom Black, EVP and GM, HPE storage. “By using Vast Data software within reenLake for File Storage, we are able to deliver a scale-out file service, designed to accelerate data-intensive workloads, which can be managed via the GreenLake platform.“

The GreenLake for File Storage uses Vast’s Disaggregated, Shared-Everything (DASE) architecture, which IDC describes as “the storage architecture of the future.“

Built on Alletra Storage MP and delivered as part of the GreenLake cloud operational model, the HPE data service enables enterprises to run their unstructured data workloads from one control plane. From enterprise to AI applications, the Vast software allows customers to analyze all data in context and in the moment by consolidating infrastructure to accelerate training and inference time.

“By combining Vast Data’s next gen architecture with trusted hybrid cloud infrastructure and data services from HPE, customers now get the best of all worlds combined into a single, simple to consume solution from HPE,” said Renen Hallak, co-founder and CEO, Vast Data. “Vast is laying the foundation for the future of data management and AI workloads, and together with HPE, we’re continuing to innovate for the enterprise, where data is at the center of every application strategy and business decision.“

GreenLake for File Storage is available.

“As a Vast and HPE customer, we see the GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform as an innovative entrant in the cloud arena, which recognizes the challenge many businesses have in balancing on-prem vs. cloud,” said Chris Goddard, CTO and partner, G-Research, the trading name of Trenchant Limited. “The combination of GreenLake with Vast’s proven file system has huge potential to reduce data complexity and further scale the performance of large ML workloads, both in the cloud and in on-prem native environments. HPE and Vast have been true partners in helping our business achieve the high-performance operations we have today, and we continue to explore potential new innovations with them that could further accelerate our future growth.“

“In the last few years, Vast Data has proven itself in the most demanding data-rich environments,” said Steve McDowell, principal analyst and founding partner, NAND Research LLC. “This partnership with HPE opens up Vast’s performant, AI-ready technology to a broad swath of GreenLake customers looking for scale-out file service capabilities.“

“Softcat is invested in accelerating customer outcomes with comprehensive solutions, from edge to cloud,” said David Francis, head of vendor alliances, Softcat plc. “With over 15 years of successful partnership with HPE, we’re excited about today’s announcement of GreenLake for File Storage in partnership with Vast Data, which opens up new markets and use cases for our business, and ensures our joint customers have access to the industry’s most innovative, performant technologies and flexible consumption models to meet the needs of their organization.“
