Deploy all-flash infrastructure for all your active data sets. VAST's new advancements in commodity flash management, data protection and reduction deliver a lower TCO than hybrid storage alternatives.
Overview
Universal Storage for Enterprise Backup & Recovery
Ransomware’s Worst Enemy
Universal Storage is an all-flash, scale-out file system upon which enterprises can build the ultimate ransomware defense strategy. Powered by an entirely new system architecture, VAST eliminates the capacity and performance limitations of traditional target appliances to enable fast backups and immediate recovery from any large-scale ransomware attack.
Make flash an affordable reality for data protection with unparalleled storage efficiencies. Accelerate recovery by 50X over legacy PBBAs. Universal Storage is a next-generation distributed data store combining the simplicity of a NAS with the scalability, capability, and affordability of a data lake.
Overview
Legacy backup and recovery aren’t built for the ransomware era.
The ongoing shift of cyberthreats toward ransomware attacks has moved IT organizations to reevaluate data protection from simple data backups and restores to enterprise-wide system recovery. Too many organizations discover their legacy purpose-built backup appliances (PBBAs) can’t provide the recovery performance they need when they need it. PBBAs aren’t built for rapid restores. They are designed to meet backup windows and minimize storage costs. In fact, most PBBAs back up data 4–10 times faster than they can restore, leaving customers to discover their recovery limitations at the worst possible times.
VAST Data’s revolutionary Universal Storage enables organizations to restore 50x faster than legacy PBBAs and restore entire IT estates in real time. Combining hyperscale flash storage with breakthrough levels of storage efficiency and data reduction, VAST makes all-flash backups and restores an affordable reality for system operators seeking to future-proof and fortify their data protection agenda.

The world of data protection is changing, driven by events like ransomware and the need to deliver fast, concurrent and scalable restores. All-flash is now justifiable from an RTO perspective, but the financials still need to stack up. Architecture matters, and with efficient use of persistent memory and QLC flash, VAST Universal Storage provides a cost-effective all-flash solution that is faster on restore than backup, breaking the mold of secondary storage that has dominated for the last two decades.

Key Benefits
The foundation for business continuity.
VAST Data breaks the decades-old tradeoff between storage performance and capacity with a new storage architecture that enables unlimited processing on affordable flash, at up to exabyte scale. VAST’s DASE architecture allows studios to scale performance and capacity independently by disaggregating the capacity provided by QLC flash from the performance provided by the stateless VAST Servers. With support for all leading backup applications, VAST makes it simple for organizations to modernize data center infrastructure and fortify their data protection strategy.
