VAST Data - Future Innovations for AI and the AI OS with Solidigm

Explore VAST Data's strategic roadmap for 2026 and discover their revolutionary AI OS platform in this 12-minute conference presentation from Tech Field Day. Learn how VAST Data, founded in 2016, is transforming legacy systems for the AI era through their innovative shared-everything architecture that addresses critical scaling and efficiency challenges. Understand the fundamental problems with traditional "shared nothing" architectures that plague storage, eventing infrastructure, and vector databases, including scaling difficulties, high write amplification, weak analytics capabilities, and memory-bound limitations. Discover how VAST Data's unified architecture delivers superior performance with 1.5 million transactions per server while dramatically reducing server count compared to legacy systems. Examine their breakthrough vector database solution that supports trillions of vectors within a single consolidated database, eliminating complex sharding requirements and enabling seamless scalability for real-time applications like live video feed analysis. Gain insights into their unified security model that maintains consistent permissions from original data to derived vectors, ensuring large language models only access authorized information while preventing unintended data exposure. Learn about data-driven workflows that automatically trigger processes such as video embedding and vector storage when new data arrives, and explore how their storage-class memory captures data rapidly in row format before migrating to QLC in columnar format for robust analytics.
