Vcinity Named “Data Access Solution of the Year” in 6th Annual Data Breakthrough Awards Program
San Jose, CA – April 3, 2025 – Vcinity, a leader in global access to and movement of file and object data in any on-prem or cloud environment, today announced that it has been selected as winner of the “Data Access Solution of the Year” award in the 6th 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 software accelerates access to data through two capabilities: data movement and remote data access. Organizations can create continuous data pipelines with secure, efficient, and ultra-fast copy or transfer of unstructured data from one location to another without compression or deduplication. This is suited for edge-to-core or edge-to-cloud ingest workloads, backups, and/or migrations.
Users can create an immediately actionable continuous data pipeline with near-zero access time and/or interact with data that cannot be moved. For AI, accuracy and speed is accelerated via quicker AI and large language model (LLM) training, and near- real-time retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities over distance, also resulting in reduced AI hallucinations in results.
The platform’s Remote Data Access allows users and applications to securely interact with dispersed data, regardless of distance in near real-time from anywhere—all while that data stays in place. With Vcinity, businesses can leverage their data seamlessly, as though it were local, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge. This allows organizations to act on critical information faster and more effectively.
“We’re thrilled to accept the ‘Data Access Solution of the Year’ award from Data Breakthrough. At Vcinity, we say ‘it’s about time.’ Through our software, data access that once took days or hours, now takes minutes or seconds, accelerating application performance and business outcomes,” said Harry Carr, CEO of Vcinity. “We’ll continue to deliver software that transforms the way organizations can leverage their data by offering next-generation data accessibility that connects applications anywhere to data generated anywhere.”
The annual Data Breakthrough Awards is the premier awards program founded to recognize the data technology innovators, leaders and visionaries from around the world in a range of categories, including DataOps, Data Analytics, AI, Business Intelligence, Data Privacy, Data Storage and many more. The 6th annual Data Breakthrough Award program attracted thousands of nominations from across the globe.
“Vcinity redefines how organizations manage and utilize their data to maximize its value. Organizations assume data is readily available and easily accessible, but most of the time, data isn’t where you need it. Traditional approaches to data accessibility introduce delays and inefficiencies that hinder decision-making, slow down workflows, and inflate costs,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, Data Breakthrough. “Vcinity is establishing the next generation of data accessibility, empowering organizations to use data with unparalleled speed, security, and flexibility. By making dispersed data instantly accessible, Vcinity revolutionizes what’s possible for businesses striving to stay competitive in today’s data-driven landscape.”
The Vcinity platform also provides optimized security and compliance, safeguarding sensitive data with end-to-end encryption, faster data transfers, and in-place data utilization. In addition, organizations can integrate Vcinity into their current systems without having to overhaul existing infrastructure.
