\n Canadian sovereign AI cloud provider standardizes on VAST AI OS to deliver secure, high-performance infrastructure across its national data centers for the next era of intelligent systems<\/p>\n
VAST Data<\/a>, the AI Operating System company, announced that BUZZ High Performance Computing (\u201cBUZZ HPC\u201d), a wholly owned subsidiary of HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSX.V: HIVE) (Nasdaq: HIVE) (FSE: YO0), one of Canada\u2019s fastest-growing sovereign AI cloud providers, has selected the VAST AI Operating System\u00a0as the foundational data layer underpinning its national AI infrastructure. With VAST, BUZZ HPC delivers secure, high-throughput access to training data and model artifacts, while providing scalable, multitenant infrastructure for advanced AI workloads \u2013 including training, inference, real-time reasoning, and agentic computing \u2013 all with full data sovereignty.<\/p>\n As BUZZ HPC expands across Canada and the Nordics, it supports a global community of enterprises, government organizations, startups, academic institutions and research teams advancing the frontiers of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. VAST enables BUZZ HPC to serve a broad range of use cases across its growing GPU cloud, with the scalability, performance isolation, auditability and multitenancy required to meet the needs of model builders, scientific researchers and enterprise developers.<\/p>\n \u201cOur mission is to empower innovators across Canada and beyond with the tools they need to build the future of AI \u2013 securely and independently,\u201d said\u00a0Craig Tavares, President and COO at BUZZ HPC. \u201cThe VAST AI OS lets us scale effortlessly while delivering the security and performance our customers demand, and VAST\u2019s AI-native architecture aligns perfectly with our vision of a flexible, sovereign, multitenant AI cloud.\u201d<\/p>\n Also Read:\u00a0AiThority Interview with Dr. Petar Tsankov, CEO and Co-Founder at LatticeFlow AI<\/a><\/p>\n Powering BUZZ HPC\u2019s sovereign AI cloud capabilities, VAST AI OS allows BUZZ HPC to deliver everything from training to agentic AI enablement, including:<\/p>\n Sovereign Data Control:\u00a0AI sovereignty begins and ends with data infrastructure, and\u00a0VAST\u2019s Zero Trust architecture\u00a0enforces compliance and accountability with local data residency and national regulations, providing end-to-end auditability and strict access governance. For BUZZ HPC customers including government, research and regulated enterprise users, this ensures not just where data lives, but how it\u2019s protected, accessed and used. BUZZ HPC is using VAST\u2019s AI Operating System to deliver the performance, scale and compliance that national AI demands, establishing a blueprint for how sovereign AI clouds can provide secure, agentic infrastructure without compromising collaboration or control. BUZZ HPC has integrated VAST\u2019s AI OS into its broader cloud offering, enabling future cloud console features to deliver an end-to-end experience for developers, enterprises and government AI teams.<\/p>\n \u201cBUZZ HPC is laying the groundwork for the next generation of intelligent systems by giving Canadian government agencies, organizations, and model builders a sovereign cloud they can trust,\u201d said\u00a0Pezhman Sharifi, Director at VAST Data Canada Inc. \u201cWith the VAST AI OS at the core of their infrastructure, we are unlocking new capabilities in secure, agentic AI \u2013 helping innovators to build and train models with unprecedented speed, scale, and control.\u201d<\/p>\n Also Read:\u00a0Developing Autonomous Security Agents Using Computer Vision and Generative AI<\/a><\/p>\n
\nGlobal Namespace for Seamless AI Development:\u00a0BUZZ HPC is using\u00a0VAST DataSpace\u00a0to provide developers and researchers with consistent, high-throughput access to training data, checkpoints and model artifacts across distributed environments, accelerating collaboration and simplifying AI operations.
\nMultitenant Performance at Scale:\u00a0BUZZ HPC has implemented\u00a0VAST\u2019s unique Disaggregated, Shared-Everything\u00a0(DASE) architecture, which separates compute from data while maintaining a unified namespace, allowing BUZZ HPC to scale performance and capacity independently, with built-in support for securely isolating performance between customers. VAST empowers BUZZ HPC to deliver consistent service across tenants, and eliminate the bottlenecks of legacy infrastructure while serving multiple use cases across training, inference, and beyond \u2013 all from a unified platform.
\nAgentic AI Enablement:\u00a0BUZZ HPC customers can leverage the\u00a0VAST AgentEngine, which delivers the real-time performance and orchestration required to support autonomous agents and reasoning-based workloads allowing users to move beyond static storage into active, intelligent computing.<\/p>\n
