SHARON AI and VAST Data have joined forces to provide cutting-edge AI solutions for businesses and government agencies. The VAST InsightEngine offers seamless data processing capabilities, allowing organizations to continuously ingest and analyze structured, unstructured, and streaming data in real-time. This enables them to feed inference systems with low-latency, massively parallel vector and hybrid search functionalities, facilitating complex workflows with ease.
According to Ofir Zan, AI Solutions & Enterprise Lead at VAST Data, the ability to reason securely over large datasets in real time is crucial for the advancement of enterprise intelligence. By integrating the VAST InsightEngine within the VAST AI OS, organizations can ensure unified governance, security, and lineage, enforcing policy-based access controls, encryption, and auditability across all queries.
By leveraging the combined expertise of SHARON AI and VAST Data, enterprises can transition from experimental AI workflows to robust, production-ready processes. In sectors like financial services, where high throughput and low latency are paramount, the partnership enables organizations to scale their inference capabilities using a large native vector index, ensuring efficient search functionalities across massive datasets.
In fields like public safety and smart cities, the integration of SHARON AI’s sovereign GPU cloud with the VAST InsightEngine offers significant benefits. By ingesting and analyzing vast amounts of video and metadata in real time, organizations can enhance operational efficiency, improve situational awareness, and respond to incidents promptly while safeguarding sensitive data within national borders.
Wolf Schubert, CEO of SHARON AI, highlights the importance of providing secure and high-performance AI infrastructure to enterprises and government institutions. With the launch of their supercluster in Melbourne’s NEXTDC Tier IV M3 data center, SHARON AI reaffirms its commitment to delivering sovereign AI solutions tailored to the Australian market.
The collaboration between SHARON AI and VAST Data has already yielded promising results, with the University of New South Wales (UNSW) leveraging SHARON AI’s cloud resources for advanced AI research. UNSW researchers are exploring various applications, including improving reasoning in language models, fine-tuning state-of-the-art LLMs for tasks like QA, and accelerating global weather forecasting through high-resolution data-driven models.
