Integration of companies’ technologies to accelerate AI infrastructure delivered by neoclouds

Mirantis, delivering Kubernetes-native infrastructure for AI, today announced it has joined the VAST Cosmos Community, a global community of developers, builders and experts in innovative AI solutions, as a Technology Partner. Collaborating with VAST Data, the AI Operating System company, Mirantis is helping joint customers orchestrate complex, multi-vendor AI infrastructure stacks at scale for neoclouds.

As part of the Cosmos Partner Program, Mirantis will collaborate with VAST Data to establish a standardized integration path for VAST technologies within the Mirantis k0rdent AI ecosystem. By combining k0rdent’s flexible, scalable Kubernetes multi-cluster platform engineering and operations framework with VAST AI Operating System, neoclouds will be able to reduce integration friction and accelerate high-performance inference and AI services delivery — where GPU utilization and data throughput directly influence infrastructure economics.

“Neoclouds are under constant pressure to get more from every GPU hour,” said Kevin Kamel, vice president of product management, Mirantis. “By working with VAST Data through the Cosmos Community, we’re building a repeatable, standards-based path to bring high-performance data services into the k0rdent AI ecosystem, helping operators scale faster, simplify operations, and focus on outcomes instead of one-off integration work.”

Modern AI infrastructure performance increasingly depends on eliminating data bottlenecks that can leave expensive GPU capacity underutilized. VAST Data’s platform unifies data services to support AI workflows across training, inference, and agentic systems.

Mirantis and VAST Data are aligning their efforts with broader ecosystem initiatives focused on standardized AI infrastructure designs, including NVIDIA-led reference architectures that define how compute, networking, and storage are composed for large-scale GPU environments.

“AI infrastructure leaders are moving toward validated building blocks instead of bespoke stacks,” said John Mao, vice president of Global Technology Alliances, VAST Data. “In joining VAST’s Cosmos Community, Mirantis brings orchestration expertise that helps operators operationalize the VAST AI Operating System in real-world AI factories – accelerating deployment, reducing integration burden, and improving the path to performance at scale.”

The collaboration is aimed at neoclouds that are building GPU clouds and AI services that need to:

• Maximize GPU utilization by reducing storage and data pipeline bottlenecks;

• Scale deployments with repeatable patterns rather than bespoke integrations;

• Accelerate time-to-market for AI infrastructure services through Kubernetes-native automation.
