VAST Data, the AI data platform company, has announced the integration of the VAST Data Platform with NVIDIA AI-Q. This collaboration delivers a unified foundation for building, accelerating, and scaling AI agents across enterprise environments.

The company revealed that pairing its platform with the NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint enhances capabilities for real-time multimodal data access and intelligent agent orchestration. The integration supports enterprise-scale AI systems.

A live demonstration of this collaboration was showcased during NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote at COMPUTEX. The demo highlighted how AI agents can access and reason over structured and multimodal data in real time.

The NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint, featured in the keynote, provides a reference implementation for rapid metadata extraction. It also supports heterogeneous connectivity between agents, tools, and data. This simplifies the creation of agentic AI query engines with transparency and traceability.

VAST reported that the integration brings together NVIDIA Blackwell accelerated computing, AI-Q, and VAST’s unified platform. It combines database, compute, and data services to enable intelligent agent orchestration with unprecedented speed and scale.

Jeff Denworth, Co-Founder at VAST Data, noted the shift in infrastructure needs in the agentic era. He stated that enterprises need immediate and unrestricted access to data for smarter decision-making. By embedding NVIDIA AI-Q, the platform is designed to meet these demands with real-time, multimodal intelligence and dynamic pipelines.

With this integration, enterprises gain real-time, high-throughput access to multimodal data, including:

• Images, videos, chat, email, and documents
• Structured data from ERP, CRM, and data warehouses

Using NVIDIA NeMo Retriever, the platform extracts and reranks relevant data before passing it to advanced reasoning models. This secure, AI-native pipeline transforms raw data into actionable insights.

Justin Boitano, Vice President of Enterprise AI at NVIDIA, emphasized that AI-driven data platforms are key for operationalizing sophisticated agentic AI. He said that the partnership with VAST enables faster access to insights from business data.

VAST and NVIDIA also offer several enterprise-grade benefits:

• High-speed, low-latency data access at petabyte to exabyte scale
• Real-time agent optimization with NVIDIA Agent Intelligence toolkit
• Global data discoverability with VAST’s unified namespace
• Privacy-preserving integration and fine-grained access controls

Together, the VAST Data Platform and NVIDIA AI-Q aim to empower enterprises to build intelligent, multi-agent systems with full observability and governance.
