We are thrilled to announce that VAST Data has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for File and Object Storage Platforms. We believe this recognition is a testament to the relentless innovation and commitment of our team, our partners, and our customers' trust in us. Being named a Leader signifies that VAST Data is at the forefront of transforming data infrastructure and platforms, and we are honored to share this recognition with all who have contributed to our journey.
Why We Feel We Were Recognized
The VAST Data platform’s unified distributed file system and object storage platform is built on a scale-out systems concept known as DASE that aims to eliminate many of the classic storage architecture constraints of the past. With this revolutionary architecture, we believe that we have built a system that breaks the trade-off between capacity, scale, performance and resiliency by utilizing innovative data structures, low-cost QLC flash, advanced data protection algorithms, and a next-generation compression method called Similarity, enabling customers to achieve high performance, low cost, extended hardware utilization, and efficient data protection with minimal overhead.
As Gartner states in their report, “Leaders provide mature offerings that meet market demand and have demonstrated the vision necessary to sustain their market position as requirements evolve. The hallmark of Leaders is that they focus on and invest in their offerings to the point where they lead the market and can affect its overall direction. As a result, Leaders can become the vendors to watch as you try to understand how new market offerings might evolve.
Leaders typically possess a large, satisfied customer base (relative to the size of the market) and enjoy high visibility within the market. Their size and financial strength enable them to remain viable in a challenging economy. Leaders typically respond to a wide market audience by supporting broad market requirements.”
As industries increasingly embrace AI, we continue to push forward with our innovative approach. We believe we have delivered a solution that not only supports today’s enterprise file and object workloads but also enables organizations to become AI-ready by consolidating these workloads into a unified data platform. The only platform that we believe meets their current requirements while providing the performance necessary for modern AI data pipelines.
Our Commitment to our Customers
We recognize that our partners and customers are the foundation for how and why we build our data platform. To maintain our innovation velocity, we relentlessly pursue the use cases and functionality that further enable their growth. From the outset, we’ve always strived to ensure that the VAST Data Platform met the critical application and infrastructure requirements given to us by our partners and customers. We take pride in being a trusted partner to our clients, many of whom have cited the unmatched support they receive throughout their VAST Data journey. We feel, this is reflected by our recognition as a 2024 Gartner™ Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice, earlier this year.
The Path Forward
While we celebrate this recognition , we are also committed to addressing the market's evolving challenges. We recognize the importance of providing a robust appliance strategy and ensuring production stability with our software releases. As we expand our capabilities, we focus on building solutions that enable seamless, scalable data infrastructure for enterprises worldwide who need to support all their Enterprise workloads today and simultaneously support the scale and performance required by modern AI data processing.
VAST Data is proud to be innovating in the era of AI, deep learning, and data-driven insights, and we look forward to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with our technology. Together with our customers and partners, we are shaping the future of data infrastructure.
Thank you for your continued trust and support. We’re excited to build the future of data with you.
