VAST provides a unified, all-flash data platform purpose-built for AI-native Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), delivering a comprehensive suite of services to support scalable, secure, multi-tenant infrastructure. With native support for NFS, S3, and Block protocols—combined with advanced data reduction, QoS, and fine-grained access controls—CSPs can offer high-performance storage across diverse AI and analytics workloads. Multi-tenancy is deeply integrated across the platform, ensuring the strict isolation of data, network paths, and control-plane access, allowing multiple customers to share the same system safely without compromise.
This guide provides CSPs with a practical overview of how to deploy, configure, and operate the VAST platform in multi-tenant environments. It covers system architecture, provisioning workflows, automation, and monitoring—enabling delivery of secure File, Object, and Block services with delegated control and full observability. Guidance is also provided for containerized environments such as Kubernetes, where tenants require dynamic, persistent storage integrated with orchestration workflows.
Each section includes step-by-step setup instructions, Web UI and REST API examples, and references to advanced materials to help CSPs build robust, efficient services tailored to their operational model.
