VAST Data is the developer of a data platform designed to accelerate time-to-insight for workload-intensive applications. The company's software helps enterprise organizations overcome the historic barriers to building all-flash data centers, enabling businesses to access operational efficiency and faster performance to implement advanced analytics.
The company was founded in 2016 by storage industry veterans, including CEO Renen Hallak who previously built products for XtremIO (acquired by Dell EMC). VAST's leadership team has deep expertise in flash storage, data reduction, and distributed systems - key enablers of their transformative Universal Storage platform. With nearly $100M in total funding and major deployments at Fortune 500 customers, VAST has demonstrated significant early traction.
Looking ahead, VAST aims to establish itself as a dominant player in the rapidly growing $400B AI data infrastructure market over the next decade. The company is aggressively hiring top talent across engineering, sales, and marketing as it expands its global presence. VAST presents an opportunity to work on cutting-edge storage technologies that are reshaping how enterprises leverage data.
