VAST Data, a data platform company specialising in the AI era, disclosed that its top-rated file software platform has been integrated by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) into its latest HPE GreenLake for File Storage service.
By utilising VAST’s exceptional scale-out software structure for this new service, corporate clients can efficiently handle unstructured data with high scalability and performance, resulting in faster time-to-insights.
VAST A/NZ MD Howard Fyffe says HPE has an incredible channel in Australia and New Zealand, and the new GreenLake for File Storage service adds proven, scalable, software-defined capabilities to local partners’ portfolios.
“This partnership will provide new opportunities for the channel while enabling A/NZ organisations to more efficiently manage their unstructured datasets,”
“Crucially, VAST’s innovative scale-out file software paired with one of the most trusted brands used in A/NZ will give enterprise organisations the confidence to lay down a modern data strategy to integrate AI and machine learning capabilities,” said Fyffe
Executive vice president and general manager, HPE Storage Tom Black said, “Media creation is on the rise, across enterprise, commercial and consumer use cases,,”
“As a result, unstructured data storage is becoming increasingly necessary and increasingly complex for organisations ranging from life sciences to media/entertainment and financial services,”
“By using VAST Data software within HPE GreenLake 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 HPE GreenLake platform,” said Mr Black
HPE’s latest offering, the HPE GreenLake for File Storage, is based on VAST’s Disaggregated, Shared-Everything (DASE) architecture, which has been hailed by IDC as “the storage architecture of the future.”
The new data service is constructed on HPE Alletra Storage MP and delivered through the HPE GreenLake cloud operational model, allowing businesses to manage their unstructured data workloads effectively from a single control point.
With VAST’s software, customers can easily analyse all data in real-time and context, from enterprise to AI applications, by consolidating infrastructure and accelerating training and inference times.
HPE/VAST partner xAmplify CEO Wayne Gowland said,“ Our customers and industries across the region no longer see AI and machine learning as a future capability,”
“They recognise those innovations are here and that they need the right strategy and infrastructure in place to manage the constant data transmission needs they bring,” said Gowland
“This partnership between two of our key partners, VAST Data and HPE, will go a long way towards shaping that strategy and ensuring our customers can transform their businesses faster while extracting maximum value from their data assets,” he said
Co-Founder and CEO of VAST Data, Renen Hallak said, “By combining VAST Data’s next-generation 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,”
“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 centre of every application strategy and business decision,” said Hallak
