VAST Data broke the traditional trade-off between performance and capacity. Its Disaggregated Shared-Everything (DASE) architecture separates stateless compute nodes from NVMe flash enclosures, so performance and capacity scale independently, from terabytes to exabytes, with tier-1 all-flash speed at economics closer to archive storage. Today that architecture underpins the VAST AI Operating System: a unified platform for storing, cataloguing, processing and serving data to AI. XENON sold and delivered the first VAST Data systems in Australia and has been building on the platform ever since.
AI Factories
VAST was the first enterprise NAS certified for NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, and its NVIDIA Cloud Partner reference designs cover GB300 and HGX-class deployments. VAST InsightEngine with NVIDIA automates AI pipelines from ingest to inference, combining NVIDIA NIM microservices with exabyte-scale vector search. Paired with XENON’s SuperPOD and AI Factory certifications, that makes a complete, certified data foundation for your AI factory.
HPC
The VAST DataStore delivers parallel-file-system-class performance with the simplicity of NAS and object protocols, proven at leading research facilities. No tiering, no tuning: every file and object sits on flash, ready for the next job.
HFT
Quantitative trading firms, including some of the world’s best-known quant houses, run on VAST, with entire market data histories on a single flash tier for research and backtesting at NVMe speed. The VAST DataBase unifies transactional, analytical and vector workloads. XENON presented alongside NVIDIA and VAST Data at STAC Summit Sydney 2025.
Data Management
VAST DataSpace provides a global namespace spanning data centre, edge and cloud, while the VAST DataEngine brings event-driven compute directly to your data. Similarity-based data reduction keeps flash economics compelling as you scale.
Services
XENON designs, sizes, deploys and supports VAST solutions, and can wrap managed services around VAST’s Gemini subscription model, so your platform grows with your data rather than in hardware-refresh leaps.
These solutions are tried, tested and running in production across Australia. Talk to XENON’s experts about what VAST can do for your data.
