VAST Data Liberates Containerized Applications From The Hard DriveVAST’s New Container Storage Interface (CSI) Brings Affordable All-Flash Infrastructure to Containerized Applications Eliminating Performance Issues Related to Simplicity, Scale, Affordability, and Speed NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VAST Data, a storage company breaking decades-old tradeoffs, today announced the general availability of its new Container Storage Interface (CSI). VAST Data’s CSI enables users to programmatically deploy and manage storage services for a variety of container platforms that have adopted the CSI standard. Announced in February of 2019, VAST Data’s Universal Storage architecture has combined new technology such as QLC flash, 3D Xpoint and NVMe over Fabrics networking with new VAST algorithms to transform the economics of flash and make it finally affordable to put all of your data on flash. VAST’s CSI driver works with modern container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes and Red Hat Open Shift to enable the programmatic provisioning of persistent storage volumes. Beyond the benefits of all-flash, containerized applications can also benefit from the advanced capabilities that are inherent to VAST Data’s Disaggregated, Shared Everything (DASE) storage architecture:
“We are continuing our march toward being a truly universal storage platform by bringing VAST to container environments,” said Jeff Denworth, VP of Products and Co-Founder at VAST. "With our CSI, we are drastically improving the performance of NFS-backed persistent volumes through the implementation of storage CPU pooling and RDMA, which makes this ideal for companies using containers for today's demanding artificial intelligence workloads. We can now enable enterprises to bring all-flash performance and capacity at the price of HDD to container platforms that have adopted the CSI standards.” The VAST Data CSI driver is available today, and can also be pulled from Docker Hub at https://hub.docker.com/r/vastdataorg/csi.
