Overview
Backup, restore, and recovery at the speed of flash.
By applying new thinking to decades-old storage problems, VAST has broken the long-standing tradeoff between performance and the cost of capacity to make affordable flash restores possible. VAST Data’s Universal Storage bucks the traditional model of purpose-built backup appliances (PBBA) that deduplicate data across spinning disks and are not designed for fast data recovery. Combining VAST Data’s all-flash Universal Storage solution with Commvault’s Complete Data Protection platform enables organizations to instantly recover from any data loss scenario, including ransomware attacks, at a cost comparable to hard drive economics.
VAST combines QLC flash, revolutionary data reduction, and highly efficient erasure codes to bring flash to price points suitable for backup, allowing customers to combine Commvault’s backup orchestration and data management engine with VAST’s unified all-flash file and object storage platform. VAST and Commvault deliver complementary data reduction capabilities to further drive optimal enterprise performance, efficiency, and TCO. Together, Commvault and VAST offer an all-flash scale-out architecture that can meet stringent recovery time objectives (RTOs) by providing rapid restore performance at a cost 40 percent lower than legacy PBBAs such as Dell EMC PowerProtect DD.
With VAST, you have an incredibly performant platform that will take the deduplication, encryption, and compression provided by Commvault further with its similarity based data reduction, helping further reduce your data footprint with an all-flash platform. VAST's Universal Storage is what makes massive, high-speed, instant ransomware recovery possible.

Key Benefits
Universal Storage + Commvault: better together.
For the first time in 20 years, VAST Data has introduced a new type of distributed system architecture. VAST's Disaggregated and Shared Everything (DASE) storage system was built from the ground up to eliminate the tradeoffs imposed by legacy scale-out architectures. Our Universal Storage system was engineered to deliver the performance and I/O parallelism of SAN storage while providing the simplicity and elasticity of NAS, while making all-flash infrastructure affordable enough that you never need to think about storage tiering again.
Unprecedented Data Efficiency
Data Insights
Users gain key data insights and analytics via VAST’s integration with Commvault’s Intelligent Data Services Platform, including e-discovery and audits of sensitive data and anomaly detection to mitigate future threats.
Indestructible Snapshots
The Indestructible Snapshots feature in VAST’s Universal Storage helps companies safeguard data by preventing critical backup copies and snapshots from being altered or destroyed by nefarious actors that are inside or outside of the organization.
