Cisco and VAST Data - AI Data Platform

Enterprises eliminate silos, modernize storage, and operationalize retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines at scale with Cisco UCS, Cisco Nexus Hyperfabric AI, and VAST Data OS.

Cisco and VAST Data centralize compute, networking, and AI-native storage into a single, validated architecture that accelerates insights and enables agentic AI.

Modernize enterprise storage

Achieve AI-first storage with VAST Data on Cisco UCS C225 M8 Rack Server EBox, powered by the VAST Data Platform and managed by Cisco Intersight. Eliminate tiering complexity, scale linearly, and deliver archive-like economics on flash.

Accelerate AI with AI PODs

Deploy pre-validated AI infrastructure with compute, storage, and fabric—powered by VAST Data Platform natively integrated into Cisco AI PODs. Simplify deployment, scale seamlessly (32–128+ GPUs), and ensure predictable performance for training and inference.

Power enterprise RAG

Transform raw data into AI-ready knowledge with VAST InsightEngine on Cisco AI PODs powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO-based Cisco UCS C845A M8 servers. Automate embedding, indexing, and retrieval to fuel secure RAG pipelines with NVIDIA AI Enterprise.

Secure by design

Embed zero-trust, ransomware-resilient storage and inline network security with Cisco Hypershield and Isovalent—following Cisco Secure AI Factory principles. Manage governance, compliance, and resilience across the AI stack.

Three ways to deploy VAST on Cisco

Select the best integration path for your AI factory—whether modernizing storage, building full-stack AI infrastructure, or delivering ready-to-deploy RAG solutions.

VAST Data on Cisco UCS
