\"VASTVAST Data <\/span>has announced<\/span><\/a> the launch of Gemini, the enterprise storage appliance model reinvented for the age of hyper-scale. The platform, which disaggregates the business of hardware and software, enables VAST to sell managed software on hardware that users can buy at cost as integrated appliances that ship directly from the manufacturer. With Gemini, VAST enables users to buy like hyper-scale cloud operators without the challenges commonly associated with building always-on, scalable clouds of low-cost flash infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

VAST Data<\/span><\/a> has developed the first all-flash storage platform that transforms the economics of flash storage in order to make flash infrastructure affordable for all classes of data, effectively making the hard drive and storage tiering obsolete. VAST\u2019s platform is applied across a range of industries, offers next-generation life science advancements, and helped financial services organizations to stabilize the economy during the coronavirus outbreak. Last year, VAST also <\/span>raised $100 million<\/span><\/a> in Series C funding, led by Next47.<\/span><\/p>\n

This new offering provides the benefits of a software-defined business model in terms of flexibility, while also preserving the simple and multi-generational cluster appliance model that users have come to expect from VAST Data. This release marks the vendor\u2019s transition into a software business and is intended to align VAST\u2019s business objectives with the needs and goals of its customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a press statement, Renen Hallak, Founder and CEO of VAST Data, said, \u201cafter deploying hundreds of petabytes of storage around the world, we\u2019ve learned so much about what our customers want and need. The promise of disaggregation shouldn\u2019t just be about the technology, but equally about how that technology is deployed. Instead of purchasing hardware and software together and being caught up in an endless refresh cycle as we\u2019ve seen for the past 30 years, Gemini offers the freedom, flexibility, and simplicity, all at an affordable cost, that organizations need to deploy an infinite storage lifecycle.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
