Why Traditional Databases Fall Short in the Age of AI
Learn how VAST ends fragmented architectures, complex ETL, and performance bottlenecks.
“The key factors in choosing VAST were scalability and composability. So we can tune performance or we can choose volume as required. Leveraging the roadmap from DataBase to DataEngine, we're able to move data to where it's needed.”

Real-Time Analytics at Scale: How Evodian Modernized BI with VAST
Evodian replaced a traditional cloud warehouse with a VAST DataBase lakehouse, cutting latency from 12 hours to near real time, boosting ingestion from 10,000 to 1M+ rows/sec, and enabling operational analytics across its BI-as-a-Service platform.

The Foundation for Modern Analytics and AI
The VAST DataBase revolutionizes how you manage data. It provides a single, hyper-scale solution designed for the AI era and optimized for performance, simplicity, and efficiency.
Built for the AI-Driven Enterprise
VAST DataBase delivers AI-native speed, exabyte-scale performance, and unified governance in a single AI Operating System.

Unprecedented Performance
Keep AI, analytics, and transactional workloads at peak speed. VAST DataBase delivers up to 20x faster queries and 40x faster transactions, with single-ms latency and linear scaling to exabytes—removing bottlenecks and ensuring consistent performance.
Built for AI from the Ground Up
Automate and accelerate AI pipelines, while delivering higher accuracy and faster insight. VAST DataBase unifies vectors, structured, and unstructured data in one platform, enabling real-time AI without silos or complex data pipelines.

Unified Data Foundation
Simplify your data landscape and lower costs by managing all data types in one platform. VAST DataBase applies consistent governance across structured, unstructured, and vector data, eliminating silos and enabling faster, trusted insights.
The Intelligent Foundation for AI and Analytics
The VAST DataBase transforms what’s possible with your data, delivering a unified, AI-ready architecture that scales effortlessly.
Similarity-Based Reduction
Achieve up to 3:1 reduction with VAST's global deduplication and proprietary similarity-based compression. Unlike traditional systems that only detect identical blocks, VAST identifies similar patterns across the entire namespace and optimizes columnar data—all in-line, with no impact to performance.
Co-Located Joins
VAST enables instant Co-Located Joins on massive tables. By eliminating the data "shuffle" and complex partitioning, the VAST DataBase executes joins locally within the architecture, delivering dramatically faster query response times.

How does VAST DataBase differ from traditional data warehouse solutions?
How does VAST DataBase differ from traditional data warehouse solutions?
Traditional data warehouse architectures require separate systems for different workloads, creating complexity and latency. VAST collapses the traditional data stack—warehouses, event brokers, vector databases, ETL pipelines—into a single, AI-native platform. This eliminates the need to stitch together multiple systems and provides consistent governance from source to insight.
How does VAST compare to data lakehouse architectures?
How does VAST compare to data lakehouse architectures?
VAST delivers significant performance improvements over traditional data lakehouse stacks:
- 40x faster updates and deletes
- 20x faster filtering performance
- 10x lower CPU utilization
- 32x smaller scan sizes with VAST's Element Store compared to Parquet
- Zero-copy updates and appends with no vacuuming, versioning, or compaction required
Is VAST DataBase a real-time analytics platform?
Is VAST DataBase a real-time analytics platform?
Yes. VAST delivers sub-second queries on real-time data with no staging or lag. The platform includes a Kafka-API compatible Event Broker that can ingest nearly two million events per second, streaming each topic directly into native, columnar tables. This makes every event immediately available for high-performance, SQL-based analytics without external brokers or staging layers.

Will I still need an external vector database with VAST DataBase?
Will I still need an external vector database with VAST DataBase?
No. VAST treats vectors as a first-class data type, stored directly in the VAST DataBase alongside structured metadata and raw content. This native integration eliminates the need for external vector databases, pipelines, or index management.
What are the cost benefits?
What are the cost benefits?
VAST customers routinely consolidate multiple legacy systems onto a single VAST deployment, cutting total cost of ownership (TCO) by over 60%. The platform achieves this through:
- Infrastructure efficiency from the DASE architecture
- Built-in data reduction capabilities
- Elimination of multiple separate systems and their associated overhead
- 10x lower CPU utilization compared to traditional solutions
