Komprise Joins VAST Cosmos as a Technology Partner for Unstructured Data Classification, Lifecycle Management and AI Ingestion

Komprise delivers intelligent data migration, transparent tiering and curated AI-ready datasets for customers of the VAST Data AI Operating System.

CAMPBELL, Calif., March 13, 2026 — Komprise, the leader in analytics-driven unstructured data management, today announced it has joined the VAST Cosmos Community as a technology partner. Collaborating with VAST Data, the AI Operating System company, Komprise is delivering intelligent data lifecycle management and AI data curation for enterprises standardizing on the VAST AI Operating System for high-performance AI workloads.

VAST Cosmos is a global community of developers, builders and experts in innovative AI solutions. VAST Data empowers enterprises to unlock the full potential of their data by providing AI infrastructure that is simple, scalable, and architected from the ground up to power deep learning and GPU-accelerated data centers and clouds.

Komprise Intelligent Data Management delivers a rapid, cost-effective way to discover, analyze and move petabytes of file and object data across large NAS and cloud estates into VAST. As an analysis-first software solution for data migration, tiering and ongoing data lifecycle management, Komprise ensures enterprises can efficiently and resiliently move the right data to the VAST AI Operating System and achieve maximum value from their VAST Data investment.

Komprise prepares unstructured data for AI with analysis across silos, a Global Metadatabase, sensitive data detection and mitigation, automated data classification and Smart Data Workflows to deliver the right dataset to VAST for AI pipelines.

“Enterprises are racing to operationalize AI, yet they lack control over large, unmanaged data estates,” said Paul Malkon, VP of Global Alliances at Komprise. “By joining the VAST Cosmos ecosystem, we ensure customers get holistic visibility into all of their unstructured data so they can find and move the right data to the VAST AI Operating System to meet AI and other high-performance workloads and non-disruptively tier cold data to their archival storage of choice.”

Komprise for VAST Customer Benefits

  • Gain visibility and plan smarter AI migrations. Analyze across storage silos to classify and identify the right datasets for high-performance AI workloads on VAST.
  • Intelligent data movement at scale: Migrate up to 27x faster than common migration tools, reducing idle GPU time and accelerating AI initiatives.
  • Faster, lower-risk migrations: Confidently move petabytes of file and object data into VAST with full integrity, transparency and with permissions preserved and checksums validated on every file.
  • Scalable AI performance: VAST serves data at the speed AI demands. Komprise feeds VAST with high-quality, curated data at enterprise scale.
  • Transparent tiering for NAS and cloud: Keep hot data on VAST while transparently tiering cold data elsewhere with zero disruption to users or applications.
  • Continuous, governed AI data curation: Build workflows to confine sensitive data, extract custom metadata, eliminate duplicates, filter non-authoritative data and automatically deliver the latest curated datasets to AI pipelines.

By combining VAST’s high-performance, unified AI data platform with analytics-driven unstructured data management from Komprise, enterprises can reduce migration risk and achieve faster ROI from AI.

“Enterprises are looking for a simpler, more consistent way to deploy production AI, backed by validated integrations they can trust,” said John Mao, Vice President, Global Technology Alliances at VAST Data. “We’re proud to welcome Komprise into the VAST Cosmos Community, expanding the ecosystem of industry-leading solutions built on the VAST AI Operating System and helping customers accelerate their AI data pipelines while maintaining governance and control across their global unstructured data environments.”
