Trading teams rely on algorithms that require fast access to vast amounts of data to predict and capitalize on market events. In addition to traditional market data, trading desks also use synthetic data to train machine learning models, and new markets like cryptocurrency are generating even more data. The amount of data that must be available in real-time for analysis exceeds the capabilities of traditional storage platforms.

The VAST Data Platform brings a radical new approach to this challenge, where unstructured and structured data are fully synthesized on a unified architecture to extract insights from massive data sets. The VAST DataBase is an exabyte-scale transaction and analytical system that provides flash-optimized queries across massive data sets. The DataBase powers native SQL applications and accelerates popular query engines like Spark, Trino, and Dremio. Researchers gain the agility to discover correlations over unstructured and structured data to predict and understand market conditions like never before.

The VAST Data Platform is unified and built as a singular intelligent system, designed entirely from the ground up to make AI-accelerated data workflows simple to deploy and manage on-premises and in the cloud. VAST is engineered to be fast enough for your most demanding pipelines, scalable enough for all your trading data, and affordable enough that you never need to think about tiering again.
