An Engine for Alpha Generation
A new class of trading strategies has emerged that relies on enriched market data, alternative data, and large-scale simulations to enable predictive trading.
The VAST Data Platform delivers the scale, performance, and ease of management to empower trading teams to understand market dynamics by analyzing vast reserves of data.
The VAST Data Platform is built on an edge-to-cloud architecture that delivers unified structured and unstructured data services where the power of a parallel file system with the simplicity of a NAS meets the scalability and affordability of a data lake.
New trading strategies require a holistic view of data at massive scale
Trading teams rely on algorithms that require fast access to vast amounts of data to predict and capitalize on market events.
In addition to traditional market data, trading desks also use synthetic data to train machine learning models, and new markets like cryptocurrency are generating even more data.
The VAST Data Platform brings a radical new approach to this challenge, where unstructured and structured data are fully synthesized on a unified architecture to extract insights from massive data sets.
The VAST DataBase is an exabyte-scale transaction and analytical system that provides flash-optimized queries across massive data sets.
Researchers gain the agility to discover correlations over unstructured and structured data to predict and understand market conditions like never before.
Accelerate Complex Queries
The VAST DataBase plugins accelerates queries by up to 100X*
Plugins available for Spark, Trino, Dremio, and additional query engines plus native SQL and analytics applications.
Point of comparison: VAST DataBase + Spark vs. Spark + S3
