The new AI stack is here… VAST Data is the #AI infrastructure leader.

VAST Data nearly tripling its #valuation over the last two years to $9.1B is worthy of the @Nasdaq Tower in the heart of Times Square!

@Lost_Signal @Lost_Signal If you haven't seen it yet, I did some exploration on nconnect and presented my findings and a demo to vExperts last month. With our vExpert acct, you can access it here: https://t.co/WvrJpXMaqG

From Indestructible Snapshots to Global Snapshot Clones to Veeam Ready - Object Immutability, we've come a long way in the past year!

If you're at #VeeamON make sure to stop by Booth S1 to get a demo from Rob and the team. And if you're not, feel free to contact us for a virtual introduction.
We'd love to meet you!
