VAST Data extends global namespace capabilities to Google Cloud

VAST Data is an artificial intelligence data platform company that has provided the VAST data platform through Google Cloud.

By using Google Cloud to extend the global namespace of the VAST data platform, organizations can flexibly deploy multi-node VAST clusters independently from Google Cloud or in combination with local VAST clusters, providing a full set of platform capabilities to support hybrid and native Google Cloud environments.

As part of the VAST Data Platform, VAST DataSpace is a global namespace that provides a unified and consistent data management layer for accessing, moving, managing and protecting structured and unstructured data across edge, on-premises and hybrid multi-cloud environments. Beyond single clusters. This is achieved through VAST’s market-changing DASE architecture, which separates data processing logic from data persistence, allowing independent scaling of capacity and performance. As organizations’ data sets and cloud adoption continue to grow, this architecture brings greater scalability, greater flexibility and performance improvements for different workloads and their unique needs, as well as resource efficiencies and costs in the cloud save.

Ultimately, this allows efficient, unlimited scaling and collaboration between multiple applications or consumers across hybrid cloud/multi-location environments without having to manage multiple copies of their data. VAST’s integration with Google Cloud provides a smooth experience as they burst data from on-premises to take advantage of the powerful elasticity of the cloud.

With these new VAST data platform capabilities delivered by Google Cloud, VAST is helping customers and partners:

• Simplify data management in hybrid cloud architectures: The VAST data platform’s global namespace enables a single unified view of data across enterprise data centers and Google Cloud that is fully transparent to applications and users – making data available wherever it is requested. Also adhere to security and access protocols.
• Enabling collaboration among distributed teams: Globally distributed organizations with data sets spanning multiple data centers in different geographies and Google Cloud regions can now collaborate with predictive prefetching instead of data copies, enabling rapid data transfer from Benefit from accessing locally stored files or objects.
• Accelerate AI feature engineering: The VAST database accelerates AI and data pipelines, supporting feature engineering using applications such as Apache Spark. Organizations can use Google Cloud to launch Spark clusters and gain significant computing efficiency by integrating with VAST databases.
• Ensure network resiliency through a zero-trust architecture: With granular access controls, strictly isolated multi-tenancy, strong encryption, key management and intelligent threat detection capabilities, the VAST data platform enables organizations to adhere to the foundation of zero-trust across clouds. principles, while providing data indexing, search functions, and the use of tags and metadata cataloging to provide a comprehensive and secure data management system.
