WekaIO(Weka), the fastest-growing data platform for AI/ML, HPC and analytics, FinServ, and life sciences research, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named WekaIO as one of its 100 Coolest Cloud Companies for 2021. This annual list recognizes the leading cloud technology providers in five critical categories: infrastructure, monitoring and management, security, storage, and software.

This year’s 100 Coolest Cloud Companies were selected by the CRN editorial team based on their demonstrated commitment to working with channel partners and their innovation in product and service development. CRN’s 100 Coolest Cloud Companies list not only honors exceptional technology suppliers, but it has become a trusted resource for solutions providers looking for cloud technology providers to partner with—presenting a list of the companies best positioned to support their cloud service’s needs.

Weka’s modern data storage platform was architected to accelerate I/O to CPU and GPU-enabled compute clusters, whether the data resides on premises, in the public cloud, or in a hybrid of both. Powered by the Weka File System (WekaFS™), the platform delivers a full enterprise grade solution with all of the features found in legacy solutions, while providing a future-ready platform with extensibility to the cloud.

“Cloud services are quickly becoming the critical components needed to build successful and secure IT solutions,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO at The Channel Company. “The honorees on this year’s 100 Coolest Cloud Companies list have proven that they support partners in the ever-evolving cloud computing business with leading innovative solutions and growth in cloud-based technologies. Our team applauds those on the list for 2021 and looks forward to watching them drive positive change in the cloud domain.”
