Vast Data and Genesis Cloud Partner

VAST Data Ltd announced a partnership with Genesis Cloud GmbH, an IaaS provider for GPUs and accelerators in the cloud.

Together, the 2 partners are poised to make AI and accelerated cloud computing more efficient, scalable and accessible to organizations across the globe.

Genesis Cloud helps businesses optimize their AI training and inference pipeline by offering performance and capacity for AI projects at scale while providing enterprise-grade features. The company is using the VAST Data Platform to build a set of AI data services in the industry. With VAST, Genesis Cloud is leading a new gen of AI initiatives and Large Language Model (LLM) development by delivering automated infrastructure with performance and hyperscaler efficiency.

“To complement Genesis Cloud’s market-leading compute services, we needed a world-class partner at the data layer that could withstand the rigors of data-intensive AI workloads across multiple geographies,” said Dr. Stefan Schiefer, CEO, Genesis Cloud. “The VAST Data Platform was the obvious choice, bringing performance, scalability and simplicity paired with rich enterprise features and functionality. Throughout our assessment, we were incredibly impressed not just with VAST’s capabilities and product roadmap, but also their enthusiasm around the opportunity for co-development on future solutions.“

Key benefits for Genesis Cloud with the VAST Data Platform include:
