Deploying and Orchestrating VAST AI OS Across Cloud Platforms | VAST Data

AI operates across multiple locations, and your data strategy should reflect this. Many organizations maintain numerous copies of the same dataset to support their pipelines, resulting in significant hardware costs and operational inefficiencies. VAST Polaris serves as the central control plane for the VAST AI Operating System. By unifying data across edge, on-premises, and major cloud providers, it eliminates unnecessary replication. Polaris provides a single global namespace, enabling efficient operations without data movement. Whether you are optimizing for cost or performance, Polaris intelligently routes workloads to the most suitable locations. This approach allows you to focus on advancing your business rather than managing data transfers. Jonsi Stefansson, General Manager, Cloud at VAST Data, presented at VAST Forward 2026.
