Gemini is the data platform business model reinvented for savings, simplicity, and choice. With Gemini, customers license managed software on hardware that is purchased directly from manufacturers at cost.
With Gemini, customers purchase managed software on hardware that can now be bought directly from our manufacturer at cost. Gemini provides customers more commercial flexibility and new ways to save on data platform solutions - all while delivering unrivaled levels of scale-out deployment simplicity.
Buy Like A Hyperscaler, Deploy Like An Enterprise
Never Pay The Refresh Tax, Never Migrate Again
Our Team Is Now Your Team
Not all customers operate at hyperscale computing levels, but Gemini provides everyone the same hardware cost visibility and buying power that hyperscaler cloud providers have to build their clouds. Gemini disaggregates the hardware and software purchase process to provide all the advantages of a software-defined business model, with none of the integration and deployment complexity.
Since Gemini provides hardware lifecycle choices, the refresh data platform cycle means you'll never need to migrate data again. VAST’s asymmetric architecture makes it possible to non-disruptively scale from petabytes to exabytes across multiple generations of hardware as you build your always-on flash cloud.
Level 3 Engineer For Onboarding and Daily Operations. Coordinate deployments to ensure nothing goes wrong. Co-Pilots are responsible for day-to-day health, capacity and performance monitoring and planning.
Customer Success Management. Co-Pilots ensure the prioritization of your critical feature requests and work with early-access customers to provide advanced software access for early testing.
Infinite Lifecycle Services. Co-Pilots are cloud operators who work for you. Each Co-Pilot is responsible for providing continuous education to you and your team, as well as handling all aspects of cluster expansions and upgrades.
In the quantitative trading industry, having the flexibility to dial up performance and grow on demand without a forced refresh or hardware tax is a key win for our business. Gemini has given us the freedom and flexibility to meet our data center needs at any given time, while also increasing our return on investment.
Unlike traditional vendors, VAST Data's Gemini model separates hardware and software, putting customers in control. This innovative purchase and deployment model delivers hardware cost transparency and direct buying power, complemented by VAST's white-glove support. Customers license VAST software from VAST and purchase required hardware directly from verified partners. This streamlined approach simplifies deployment and management, ensuring a high-performance, predictable data platform.
VAST delivers a flexible licensing approach based on the resources managed by the VAST software: Capacity (storage) and Compute (CPU Cores). Customers license the software from VAST while purchasing hardware directly from verified hardware providers, enabling complete transparency and the ability to scale compute and capacity independently. This disaggregated model is designed for modern AI workloads and offers flexible license terms.
Gemini provides several key benefits:
Savings: Customers can buy what they need when they need it – extending the already significant savings of the VAST AI Operating System
Simplicity: VAST Co-Pilots now handle every aspect of monitoring, upgrading, expanding and refreshing customer infrastructure such that it’s a low-touch/no-touch experience for customers. We’ve got customers now scaling clusters to 50PB and beyond. And when you get to that level of scale, it just makes more sense for us to handle the heavy lifting because our team knows the product best.
Choice: Customers can refresh whenever they like to get the best use of hardware in the way that’s right for their business. They can stop endlessly migrating and just scale via VAST’s disaggregated architecture.
No. Co-Pilot is a service that comes standard with every Gemini subscription. VAST Data has made a commitment to ensure that the VAST Data experience is the best in the industry and is dedicated to the success of our customers. VAST Co-Pilots constantly monitor customer systems, prioritizing feature requests, handling all of the planning and deploying as organizations expand VAST. Co-Pilots are expert cloud operators who work for you.
With VAST Data, software license transferability is a non-issue because you'll never need to migrate data or licenses. Our Gemini model separates software from hardware, allowing you to easily add or replace hardware across generations without disruption. Your VAST software license is persistent, tied to the resources under management, ensuring effortless scaling and continuous value as your needs evolve, unlike traditional vendors who rely on expensive hardware refreshes.
