In the early days, VAST Data's focus was primarily on storing enormous amounts of data. "Even before we talked about AI, data had to be stored somewhere," Pernsteiner notes. The company started out in the world of HPC (High Performance Computing). The choice of this sector was strategic: in that world, the scale and performance requirements are enormous. With this choice, VAST more or less forced itself to set the bar very high.

The use of key-value stores in Pure's products allows for organized and efficient data retrieval, optimizing storage performance by reducing write amplification and enhancing read/write efficiency.
