“We appreciate the judges’ recognition of the significant feature enhancements made to WekaFS in the last year, especially factoring in the value and ease-of-use aspects of the system,” said Ken Grohe, President and CRO at WekaIO. “WekaFS is now used by eight of the Fortune 50 enterprise organizations. Our customers implement us for performance but expand with us for ease-of-use, cost-economics, scalability, and a host of other reasons. Weka runs anywhere your data lives and is rapidly becoming the defacto platform for I/O-intensive workloads such as AI/ML, high-performance computing (HPC), HPDA, and technical computing.”
WekaFS was architected to accelerate I/O to CPU and GPU-enabled compute clusters, whether the data resides on-premises or in the public cloud or a hybrid of both. WekaFS provides a full enterprise-grade solution with all the features found in legacy appliances while future-proofing their IT investments with advanced security and full cloud integration.
