HPC file systems have traditionally been complicated to use and lacked features that have been standard for a long time outside of the HPC world. Not a good basis for the road ahead. VAST does not only elegantly solve the classic HPC & AI storage problems, but keeps innovating way beyond this by adding new concepts that completely change how users interact with the data platform. In this video, you'll see a demo of "the catalog", one of many new features of VAST, and get to hear what customers think about the storage architecture of the future.
