The goal of this partnership is to build a globally distributed, vertically integrated AI cloud.
Nscale has comprehensive control over its infrastructure, from environmentally conscious data centres to advanced orchestration software, while VAST contributes a unified data platform to ensure efficient GPU operation and seamless data integration across different locales.
Innovative AI cloud solutions
Tom Burke, Chief Revenue Officer at Nscale, emphasised the significance of robust infrastructure in AI developments, stating, “The future of AI will not be defined by raw compute alone, but by the strength of the foundations we build.”
He highlighted the partnership with VAST as instrumental in tackling the complexities of scalable AI systems and delivering innovative data solutions.
New standards for AI infrastructure
VAST Data’s Co-founder, Jeff Denworth, commented on the strategic nature of this partnership, expressing that it is pioneering a global AI infrastructure. He remarked, “This is not just about building another cloud, it is about creating the global fabric that will power the next generation of AI.”
Through this collaboration, the companies are setting a new benchmark for AI infrastructure, demonstrating the potential of integrating advanced data management systems with expansive AI processing capabilities.
The combined expertise of VAST and Nscale underlines their commitment to developing scalable, responsible, and enterprise-grade AI solutions, catering to the increasing demand for AI-driven applications. This partnership is set to redefine the standards of AI infrastructure in the age of autonomous AI advancements.
VAST Data, the AI Operating System company, announced a partnership with Nscale, the Europe-headquartered AI infrastructure provider, to deliver one of the industry’s most advanced AI cloud fabrics.
With recent expansion announcements across Europe, and with plans to scale to 300,000 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs globally, Nscale is building AI infrastructure that spans Europe and North America to support enterprises training, fine-tuning, and deploying models at unprecedented scale.
Nscale has burst onto the global stage as one of Europe’s fastest growing companies, having already announced marquee deployments, and now placing VAST Data at the core of their market pioneering offerings.
VAST AI Operating System
Utilizing the VAST AI Operating System and the NVIDIA Cloud Partner reference architecture, Nscale can optimise AI infrastructure efficiency, unify data access across continents, and operationalize the next generation of AI workflows. The vision is bold: a fully vertically integrated, globally distributed AI cloud.
Nscale controls every layer of the stack, from renewable-powered data centres to orchestration software and observability tools, while VAST is a key partner in Nscale’s offerings with a unified data layer that sustains GPU efficiency and ensures seamless data access across regions. Together, this partnership delivers a feature-rich platform for enterprises to run AI at scale.
Future of AI
“The future of AI will not be defined by raw compute alone, but by the strength of the foundations we build,” said Tom Burke, Chief Revenue Officer at Nscale.
“That means infrastructure that can scale globally, operate responsibly, and deliver when it matters most. With VAST as one of our data layers, we are able to take on the complexity of hyperscale AI and make it seamless for our customers – putting rich data services at the centre of the modern AI cloud. Together, we are creating a new standard for the next era of enterprise AI infrastructure.”
VAST AI OS
“This is not just about building another cloud, it is about creating the global fabric that will power the next generation of AI,” said Jeff Denworth, Co-founder, VAST Data.
“By serving as a partner in the next phase of Nscale’s GPU build-out, the VAST AI OS proves what the industry already knows: AI innovation is impossible without a data platform that can keep up. Working with Nscale and, we are defining the model for hyperscale AI infrastructure and showing the world what the future looks like.”
As Nscale accelerates its global expansion, this partnership underscores a shared commitment to deliver AI infrastructure that is scalable, sustainable, and enterprise-ready, built for the age of agentic AI.
