About this tag
VAST DataEnclave is a confidential-AI runtime that VAST Data announced on September 22, 2026, as part of its DataEngine platform. Built on NVIDIA Confidential Computing, it is designed to let proprietary or open AI models run against sensitive enterprise data inside customer data centers, trusted clouds, or air-gapped sites. The stated goal is a two-way trust arrangement: organizations avoid sending regulated data to an outside AI service, while model vendors avoid handing unprotected weights to enterprise administrators. VAST DataEnclave entered preview with shipments planned for Q1 2027, so the security guarantees remain promises rather than verified results for now.
