VDURA, a leader in AI and high-performance computing (HPC) data infrastructure, will participate as a silver sponsor at the Monterey Data Conference (MDC) 2025, held from August 18–21 at the Monterey Marriott in California. The event, announced on July 31, 2025, brings together national lab researchers, federal IT decision-makers, and technologists to address large-scale data processing and scientific computing challenges.
Event: Monterey Data Conference (MDC) 2025, August 18–21, Monterey, California.
Role: VDURA is a silver sponsor, showcasing its V11 Data Platform enhancements.
Focus: AI and HPC workload acceleration with simpler management, robust data protection, and premium support.
Applications: Powers federal use cases in defense, intelligence, climate science, and C2ISR.
Market Edge: Recent contract win with a Federal Systems Integrator highlights VDURA’s superior performance and cost-efficiency.
Market Size: $15B AI/HPC storage market, growing at 25% CAGR, per IDC.
VDURA will showcase its V11 Data Platform, designed to meet the surging demands of AI and HPC workloads. Key features include:
Simpler Management Tools: Intuitive interface reduces administrative overhead, enabling single-admin management even at scale.
Stronger Data Protection: Up to 11 nines of durability via advanced erasure coding, ensuring near-zero data loss.
VDURACare Premier: A new support offering for complex environments, including 10-year no-cost drive replacements and 24/7 expert response.
High-Throughput, Low-Latency: Optimized for GPU-intensive tasks like climate modeling and intelligence analysis, delivering millions of IOPS.
The platform’s microservices-based architecture, flash-optimized metadata engine, and enhanced object storage layer ensure scalability across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
Federal agencies, facing pressure to modernize legacy infrastructure while reducing costs, rely on VDURA for mission-critical applications. The platform supports defense, intelligence, climate science, and C2ISR (Command, Control, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance), meeting stringent security mandates. VDURA’s recent contract with a leading Federal Systems Integrator to build an AI and HPC cluster underscores its competitive edge over rivals limited by flash constraints and high costs.
“MDC is where tomorrow’s data infrastructure meets today’s federal innovation,” said Eric Sharp, VP of Federal Sales at VDURA. “It’s the perfect stage to show how our platform is evolving to solve the industry’s toughest challenges.”
The AI/HPC storage market, valued at $15 billion, is driven by a 25% CAGR as organizations prioritize AI-ready infrastructure. VDURA’s hybrid architecture, combining SSDs and HDDs, optimizes cost and performance, as seen in deployments like Goethe University’s AMD GPU cluster. Unlike competitors such as Pure Storage, VDURA’s V11 platform offers up to 11x performance boosts and seamless Kubernetes integration, per its V11.2 release. X posts from @HPCwire and @AIwireNews reflect strong industry anticipation for VDURA’s MDC presence.
VDURA’s roadmap includes the Cloud Edition and an All-Flash platform for ultra-high IOPS by late 2025, further enhancing hybrid and AI-driven deployments. The Velocity Partner Program, launched in 2024, strengthens collaborations with partners like Penguin Solutions and Phison, driving innovation in federal and enterprise markets.
VDURA’s MDC 2025 participation highlights its leadership in delivering scalable, durable, and cost-efficient data solutions for AI and HPC, positioning it to meet the evolving needs of federal agencies and beyond.
VDURA builds the world’s strongest data platform for AI and high-performance computing, blending flash-first speed with true hyperscale capacity and an industry-leading 12-nines durability commitment. Visit vdura.com for more information.
