The Platform for Real-Time Content
Capture, create, catalog, stream & analyze at the speed of flash. Outshine the competition, improve time-to-market, and monetize your archives.
The VAST Data Platform is the first all-flash architecture that delivers cutting-edge performance for the most demanding production workflows at the cost of an archive.
Liberate and monetize the full potential of your content. Get the high-throughput and low latency required for the most demanding workflows.
The VAST Data Platform streamlines content creation and delivery with a global namespace that unifies edge, core, and cloud - all at the cost of an archive.
Evolving media workflows need a future-proof platform
Today’s media and broadcast studios typically deploy a complex mix of storage systems with each dedicated to a small portion of the workflow.
Studios need streaming storage to feed high-bandwidth editorial and playout applications, transactional storage for rendering/VFX workflows, and large, low-cost storage for media archiving and VOD origin storage.
These systems become silos that complicate workflows, impede the collaboration of distributed teams, and make implementing cloud-based pipelines a challenge.
The VAST Data Platform combines the consistent, low-latency performance of all-flash with the economics of archive storage systems.
With VAST, studios can consolidate their production and archive requirements into a single, easy-to-manage platform that scales to exabytes all while supporting hundreds of high-res video streams or high-scale rendering requirements.
Studios are able to easily support concurrent projects with granular QoS policies that ensure high-priority workflows are never starved for performance.

Edit, render and stream data from all-flash infrastructure that easily supports the throughput and latency requirements of 4K, 8K and even higher resolution assets.
By combining the consistent performance of all-flash and the economics of archive storage systems, VAST Data’s Universal Storage allows media companies to break the longstanding tradeoff between capacity and performance that has complicated media workflows for decades.
With VAST, studios can now consolidate their production and archive requirements into a single, easy-to-manage namespace that can scale to exabytes, provides quality of service for each aspect of the workflow – all while supporting hundreds of 4K video streams or high-scale rendering requirements.
Kanal 75 Success Story
PDF - INTERNATIONAL SPORTS BROADCASTER STREAMLINES LIVE STREAMING WITH VAST
One of the largest multimedia companies in the Nordic region, Kanal 75 produces TV, internet and news content focused on horse racing and the betting culture surrounding it. The company produces more than 100 hours of TV each week and delivers more than 1000 live productions each year for viewers in Europe, Australia, South Africa, and the USA.
“After a lengthy evaluation period in which we looked into alternative tiered storage and very expensive all-flash solutions from others, we were impressed by the simplicity and cost efficiency of VAST’s solution. In contrast to our previous setup, VAST’s solution has allowed us to provide consistently predictable broadcast performance and is delivering additional savings in the form of data reduction on our video assets.”
