Nebius and VAST Data Combine Breakthrough Tech for AI Innovation
Enterprises are seeking innovative solutions to make organizational learning curves flatter, and trusted partnerships with industry innovators will help speed adoption. One such partnership that caught my eye at GTC features two players that are integrating cutting-edge technologies to deliver a powerful solution to the market. Nebius, a global AI cloud provider, and VAST Data, a leader in high-performance data solutions, are delivering a truly transformative approach to AI infrastructure that is poised to deliver needed tools for enterprises worldwide. Daniel Bounds, CMO of Nebius, and Chris Morgan, VP of AI Solutions at VAST Data, recently shared insights with TechArena into how their collaboration is revolutionizing AI cloud infrastructure. Let’s unpack what we learned.
Nebius offers a full-stack approach to AI workloads, providing an integrated platform across distributed infrastructure. What truly sets Nebius apart is how it has constructed its software layer to ensure a robust and easy-to-use experience for customers. As Daniel emphasized, this “secret sauce” is what makes the difference. It’s not just about having oodles of GPUs, but making sure customers are able to fully leverage this valuable infrastructure through an intuitive, user-friendly experience.
This is where VAST Data comes in. Known for its high-performance data solutions, VAST’s technology is helping Nebius push the envelope even further. By integrating VAST’s technology into Nebius’ stack, the companies are enabling customers to access not only powerful GPUs, but also an optimized data environment that can handle the most demanding AI pipelines. VAST’s platform ensures that the data management of AI is handled efficiently, giving users the ability to scale their operations without compromising performance.
As AI becomes more mainstream in the enterprise, the shift from model training to model inference is a major milestone and reality to manage. Chris highlighted that this transition is where the real value of AI lies for many businesses. Enterprises are increasingly looking to incorporate AI into their day-to-day operations, not just for training models but for integrating them into known workflows to drive positive business outcomes.
When we look deeper at Nebius, we find a wide range of flexible services. Whether it’s their AI studio, which enables on-demand inference, or a full suite of self-service and managed services, Nebius provides customers with a tailored experience based on their specific needs. As the demand for AI continues to grow, so too does the need for infrastructure that can handle large-scale, complex workloads, and this is where VAST’s data platform really shines. Nebius is tapping VAST technology to address this challenge by providing a solution that’s not only powerful, but also scalable, adaptable, and user-friendly.
What’s the TechArena take? We’re excited to see Nebius differentiate itself with an AI-centric cloud service offering, and we’re delighted to see how they’re leveraging VAST for the enterprise. Most of all, we went into GTC seeking signs of enterprise adoption, and while we’re not yet overwhelmed by scores of customer adoption stories at scale, VAST proved by be a foot forward player ready to deliver value to scale inference across enterprise verticals and functions. We can’t wait for what comes next.
