VAST Data, an AI Operating System company, has been selected by BUZZ High Performance Computing (BUZZ HPC), a subsidiary of HIVE Digital Technologies, as the foundational data layer for its national AI infrastructure. This partnership will enable BUZZ HPC to deliver secure, high-throughput access to training data and model artifacts, as well as scalable, multitenant infrastructure for advanced AI workloads. The collaboration aims to support a global community of AI users as BUZZ HPC expands across Canada and the Nordics.

The VAST AI Operating System will provide BUZZ HPC with the ability to serve a broad range of use cases across its growing GPU cloud, including training, inference, real-time reasoning, and agentic computing. This integration will allow BUZZ HPC to scale effortlessly while delivering the security and performance demanded by its customers. The VAST AI OS's Zero Trust architecture ensures compliance and accountability with local data residency and national regulations, providing end-to-end auditability and strict access governance.

BUZZ HPC, headquartered in Canada with a global reach, is one of the first and few Canadian sovereign AI platforms operating at scale. Since 2017, it has deployed supercomputing environments across Canada and the Nordics. The partnership with VAST Data aligns with BUZZ HPC's mission to empower innovators with secure and independent AI tools. The VAST AI OS will enable BUZZ HPC to deliver everything from training to agentic AI enablement, including sovereign data control and real-time performance for autonomous agents and reasoning-based workloads.

The VAST AI OS's unique Disaggregated, Shared-Everything (DASE) architecture allows BUZZ HPC to scale performance and capacity independently while maintaining a unified namespace. This architecture supports securely isolating performance between customers and eliminates the bottlenecks of legacy infrastructure. The partnership will also enable future cloud console features to deliver an end-to-end experience for developers, enterprises, and government AI teams.

"Our mission is to empower innovators across Canada and beyond with the tools they need to build the future of AI – securely and independently," said Craig Tavares, President and COO at BUZZ HPC. "The VAST AI OS lets us scale effortlessly while delivering the security and performance our customers demand, and VAST’s AI-native architecture aligns perfectly with our vision of a flexible, sovereign, multitenant AI cloud."

VAST Data's AI Operating System will power BUZZ HPC's sovereign AI cloud capabilities, enabling it to deliver the performance, scale, and compliance that national AI demands. This partnership sets a blueprint for how sovereign AI clouds can provide secure, agentic infrastructure without compromising collaboration or control.
