VAST AI Operating System running natively on NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs collapses legacy storage tiers to deliver shared, pod-scale KV cache with deterministic access for long-context, multi-turn and multi-agent inference<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

VAST Data<\/strong><\/a>, the AI Operating System company, today announced a new inference architecture that enables the NVIDIA Inference Context Memory Storage Platform \u2013 deployments for the era of long-lived, agentic AI. The platform is a new class of AI-native storage infrastructure for gigascale inference. Built on NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs<\/a> and Spectrum-X Ethernet<\/a> networking, it accelerates AI-native key-value (KV) cache access, enables high-speed inference context sharing across nodes, and delivers a major leap in power efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As inference evolves from single prompts into persistent, multi-turn reasoning across agents, the notion that context stays local breaks down. Performance is increasingly governed by how efficiently inference history (KV cache) can be stored, restored, reused, extended, and shared under sustained load \u2013 not simply by how fast GPUs can compute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VAST is rebuilding the inference data path by running VAST AI Operating System (AI OS)<\/a> software natively on NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs<\/a>, embedding critical data services directly into the GPU server where inference executes, as well as in a dedicated data node architecture. This design removes classic client-server contention and eliminates unnecessary copies and hops that inflate time-to-first-token (TTFT) as concurrency rises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combined with VAST\u2019s parallel Disaggregated Shared-Everything (DASE)<\/a> architecture, each host can access a shared, globally coherent context namespace without the coordination tax that causes bottlenecks at scale, enabling a streamlined path from GPU memory to persistent NVMe storage over RDMA fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInference is becoming a memory system, not a compute job. The winners won\u2019t be the clusters with the most raw compute \u2013 they\u2019ll be the ones that can move, share, and govern context at line rate,\u201d said John Mao, Vice President, Global Technology Alliances at VAST Data<\/strong> \u201cContinuity is the new performance frontier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If context isn\u2019t available on demand, GPUs idle and economics collapse. With the VAST AI Operating System on NVIDIA BlueField-4, we\u2019re turning context into shared infrastructure \u2013 fast by default, policy-driven when needed, and built to stay predictable as agentic AI scales.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond raw performance, VAST gives AI-native organizations and enterprises deploying NVIDIA AI factories a path to production-grade inference coordination with high levels of efficiency and security. As inference moves from experimentation into regulated and revenue-driving services, teams need the ability to manage context with policy, isolation, auditability, lifecycle controls, and optional protection \u2013 all while keeping KV cache fast and usable as a shared system resource. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

VAST delivers those AI-native data services as part of the AI OS, helping customers avoid rebuild storms, reduce idle-GPU resource waste, and improve infrastructure efficiency as context sizes and session concurrency explode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cContext is the fuel of thinking. Just like humans that write things down to remember them, AI agents need to save their work so they can reuse what they\u2019ve learned,” saidKevin Deierling, Senior Vice President of Networking, NVIDIA<\/strong>. “Multi-turn and multi-user inferencing fundamentally transforms how context memory is managed at scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
