The VAST AI Operating System is the data foundation for Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC)'s Horizon, the highest performing academic supercomputer in the world, underscoring a 2+ year strategic partnership that spans TACC’s Stampede3 and VISTA.

As the flagship of the National Science Foundation’s new Leadership-Class Computing Facility, the decision to extend VAST to Horizon was based on proven outcomes with Stampede3 and VISTA around performance, scale, resiliency and ease of administration.

The VAST AI OS is designed to converge AI and HPC infrastructure, feeding GPU-dense training and inference side-by-side with traditional simulation workloads, allowing labs to run next-gen AI and classic HPC pipelines without re-architecting data paths, and ultimately unlocking faster time-to-results – with less time moving data and more time running models, training AI, and publishing discoveries: vastdata.com/press-releases…

We’re bringing the energy (and the swag) to #SC25. Stop by Booth 3402 for live sessions, limited-edition shirts, and a chance to see how AI infrastructure should really scale.

In today's news: VAST Data and @googlecloud have partnered to address the challenge of hybrid AI data sprawl with the first fully managed service of the VAST AI Operating System on Google Cloud. Enterprises want to run AI where it performs best but fragmented storage and costly migrations often stand in the way.

This expanded partnership makes data placement a choice rather than a constraint. The VAST AI OS leverages the VAST DataSpace to allow enterprises to seamlessly connect on-prem clusters with Google Cloud, eliminating complex migrations and instantly making data available wherever AI runs.

The result: a fully managed AI OS on Google Cloud that unifies hybrid data with intelligent streaming, removes migration drag, and keeps GPUs fed – so organizations can deploy AI faster at lower cost with consistent, compliant data close to compute resources: vastdata.com/press-releases…

The VAST AI Operating System is the primary data foundation for the next generation of AI. VAST Data and @CoreWeave are proud to announce a $1.17 billion commercial agreement to extend the strategic partnership.

This expanded collaboration reinforces CoreWeave's commitment to the VAST AI OS and advances the shared mission to redefine the data and compute architecture for AI.

The unified infrastructure delivers instant access to massive datasets, breakthrough performance, and cloud-scale economics for both training and inference workloads.
