Maximum Scale At Any Performance

Achieve the unimaginable. Weka’s shared, parallel file system delivers high throughput and ultra-low latency, giving you linear performance at Exabyte scale.

Delivers hundreds of GB/sec to a single client, where performance scales linearly as system grows.

Fastest File Storage For AI and HPC

New applications in technical computing, analytics, and deep learning have placed unprecedented demands on storage I/O, throughput, latency, and scalability.

WekaFS is the fastest shared parallel file system and delivers unmatched performance at ANY scale while offering the same enterprise features and benefits of traditional storage. It meets all storage challenges, delivering 10x the performance of legacy network attached storage (NAS) systems and 3x the performance of local server storage. WekaFS is an innovative file system, built for those who solve big problems, and runs anywhere on any standard server hardware, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or shared across both. It gives you control of hardware choices and achieves dramatic cost savings for IT infrastructure.

Optimised Parallel File System

WekaFS software is optimized to leverage the speed and low latency of NVMe technology and supports both small and large file access - either randomly or sequentially - at the lowest latency.

It can be deployed on any standard X86 infrastructure as a dedicated storage server (appliance model) or integrated into the application cluster (converged). The software also supports a hybrid cloud model, allowing enterprises to leverage on-demand public compute resources for cloud-bursting, remote backup, and disaster recovery.

Better Than Local File System Performance

Poor NAS performance has forced many organizations to serve data from local flash drives for improved application performance

But copying data to a server from a networked storage system defeats the purpose of a shared file system and adds considerable wall clock time to production runs. WekaFS delivers faster performance than a local file system, and can fully saturate a 100 Gbit network link, delivering over 10 GB/sec to a single application client. Predictable and seamless performance scaling is also a challenge for traditional NAS filers and legacy parallel file systems, resulting in poor utilization of expensive compute resources. With WekaFS, performance scales linearly as the infrastructure grows.

Exascale Capacity With Integrated Tiering

WekaFS delivers the features that enterprise customers have come to expect. It supports instantaneous snapshots, clones, remote snapshots to object storage for disaster recovery, user quotas, high availability, direct-to-cloud backup, private cloud multi-tenancy, and cloud-bursting.

The patented data layout and protection scheme distributes both data and metadata evenly across the entire file system to ensure the highest level of protection and eliminate hot spots and I/O bottlenecks. The storage cluster can survive up to four concurrent failures without loss of service. The WekaFS software has advanced authentication and encryption suitable for the most demanding enterprise environments. Integrated tiering to any S3 object store delivers the highest performance and maximum scalability, all in a single namespace. Weka's unique snap-to-object feature allows users to easily create a replica of the production data and instantly push it to any S3 object store -in premises or in the cloud - enabling snapshot-based replication. The cloud copy can be used for workload migration to another application cluster or to provide a fast recovery point objective (RPO) service guarantee.
