About VAST Data
VAST Data sells software that stores and manages data on flash drives for AI and analytics work. It is sold by subscription and can run in data centres, public clouds and at the edge. Its design, called disaggregated shared-everything, separates the servers that run the software from the flash storage enclosures, so each can be scaled on its own and every server can reach all of the data. The company was founded in 2016 by Renen Hallak, Jeff Denworth and Shachar Fienblit, and Hallak is chief executive.
VAST Data was founded in 2016 and is based in New York, NY, United States. It is listed under Memory & Storage, HPC & AI Systems. Reported funding is Series F at $30B valuation, Apr 2026.

What VAST Data works on
Memory & Storage
Memory and storage hold the data that processors work on. Memory such as DRAM is fast and loses its contents when power is removed. Storage such as flash (NAND) is slower, cheaper per bit and keeps data without power.
HPC & AI Systems
High-performance computing (HPC) means using very large clusters of processors working together to solve problems that one machine cannot handle in a reasonable time. These clusters are called supercomputers. They run weather models, physics simulations and, increasingly, AI training.
