Leading Market Intelligence Program Honors Innovation in Analytics, AI, DataOps and Next-Generation Data Technologies

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 16, 2026 – Vcinity, Inc., a leader in AI data movement and access solutions, today announced that it has been selected as winner of the “Data Access Solution of the Year” award in the 7th annual Data Breakthrough Awards program conducted by Data Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global data technology market today. 

Vcinity was Named the "Data Access Solution of the Year" in the 2026 Data Breakthrough Awards

Vcinity enables organizations and agencies to move and access unstructured data anywhere, regardless of location. Its solution combines secure, high-speed data movement with near-real-time remote data access, giving enterprises the flexibility to move data when needed or access it in place without replication. With Vcinity, organizations can optimize how, when, and where data is used across distributed environments, powering AI, analytics, and operational workflows without the delays, costs, or risks of traditional data transfer approaches. 

Vcinity’s solution involves no compression, deduplication, or pre-processing. This means encrypted and uncompressible data can flow at full speed, and petabyte-scale datasets can predictably move or be accessed across high-latency or congested networks with deterministic performance. At the same time, Vcinity provides optimal data security, safeguarding sensitive data with end-to-end encryption and advanced obfuscation to ensure compliance and mitigate risk. 

“We’re redefining what modern data access entails. With Vcinity, compute can use data immediately—wherever it is, rather than having to wait for a copy—unlocking a level of operational agility that competitors cannot match,” said Harry Carr, CEO at Vcinity“Receiving this recognition for a second consecutive year underscores the growing market demand for seamless data access. As Accelerated Compute clusters become more geographically dispersed, and data volumes surge and time sensitivity increases, secure, high-speed access to data wherever it resides isn’t just a performance advantage—it’s becoming the final frontier to enable the multitude of tomorrow’s workloads. 

The annual Data Breakthrough Awards program is one of the industry’s most competitive and respected global recognition platforms, highlighting the companies and solutions shaping the future of the data economy. The 7th annual program attracted thousands of nominations from leading organizations worldwide, reflecting the explosive growth and strategic importance of data technologies spanning analytics, infrastructure, DataOps, AI, storage, observability and real-time intelligence. 

Modern enterprises are challenged with accessing massive, distributed datasets with the speed, scale, and agility that today’s applications, analytics, and AI demand. Traditional approaches degrade over distance, drive storage bloat, or force user and application patience, constraining productivity and limiting innovation,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, Data Breakthrough. “By creating a hyper-efficient, agile data pipeline across edge to core to cloud infrastructures, Vcinity enables applications and workloads to work with live, decentralized datasets without the limitations of distance, latency, or network constraints. This breakthrough deserves ‘Data Access Solution of the Year!’” 

As organizations across every industry accelerate digital transformation and AI adoption, the ability to capture, manage, analyze and operationalize data has become mission critical. Modern enterprises depend on advanced data platforms and intelligent infrastructure to drive faster decision-making, improve operational efficiency and unlock new opportunities for growth and innovation. Data Breakthrough Award winners represent the companies and solutions delivering the technologies that make this transformation possible.
