VAST DataEngine

Breathe Life​ Into Your Data​

The VAST DataEngine transforms how your organization processes and learns from data, bringing insights to life as the dynamic compute and execution layer of the VAST AI Operating System.

No more batch processing: Embrace continuous, real-time data flow.

No more isolated data silos: Achieve unified, seamless data processing. Just continuous, intelligent computing for your most demanding AI workloads.

The VAST DataEngine redefines data computing within the VAST AI Operating System. It merges logic and state to activate files, objects, and tables from edge to cloud. This powerful automation is core to your AI and analytics workloads.

Breaking the Data-Application Divide

For decades, applications and data have existed in separate worlds, leading to fragmented data pipelines and a batch-oriented mentality. This division isolates real-time data streams from deep data analysis.

The VAST AI Operating System shatters this tradeoff by integrating data processing and event notifications natively within the system. By seamlessly integrating functions and triggers, it enables dynamic automation, driving real-time responses and intelligent data workflows.

With the VAST DataEngine, data and changes to data trigger immediate action. This intelligent, continuous processing forms the basis for perpetual AI training and inference, paving the way for the AI-powered discoveries of the future.

Data Platforms Need To Evolve

Programmable Computing for AI

The VAST DataEngine is a powerful, containerized computing environment that you deploy on your choice of CPUs, GPUs, and DPUs—from edge to cloud. By embedding AI processing logic directly into the VAST AI Operating, the system can schedule and execute real-time events, instantly triggered by data activities. This delivers unparalleled agility and efficiency for your most demanding AI workflows.

A Programmable Computing Engine in Software

Programmable Environment for AI

The VAST DataEngine offers a powerful programmable environment, allowing developers to bring their own Python code to life directly within the VAST AI Operating System. This enables customers to build highly customized, automated AI pipelines using their own functions and triggers. Customers can now engineer precise solutions for tasks such as:

  • Automated Data Labeling & Tagging

  • Model Inference at Ingest

  • Semantic Search Indexing

  • Real-time Anomaly

  • Detection Dynamic Data Augmentation for AI Training

DataEngine Overview
Real-Time Event Streaming & Ingestion

Next-Generation Event Streaming Infrastructure

The VAST DataEngine delivers next-generation event streaming infrastructure, featuring the VAST Event Broker. This enables events to be written natively and in real-time as a table into the VAST DataBase’s exabyte-scale transactional and analytical capabilities. For the first time, it’s now truly possible to analyze all your streaming data continuously, unlocking immediate insights for real-time analytics and dynamic AI applications.
