Data Infrastructure Built for the Cloud & AI Era

Our Story

Long before AI went mainstream, WEKA’s cofounders recognized that traditional data storage solutions couldn’t meet the scale and performance demands of modern unstructured data and compute-intensive workloads.

WEKA Story

Founded in 2013, WEKA started with a simple mission: to challenge the storage industry status quo, addressing modern workloads in a totally different way. Over the past decade, what began as a screaming fast software-defined parallel filesystem evolved into ultra high-performance data platform software designed from the ground up for speed, simplicity, scale, and to run seamlessly across edge, core, and cloud environments.

But technology doesn’t stand still–and neither does WEKA.

As a catalyst for AI and HPC innovation, WEKA is transforming from a data platform approach to a revolutionary containerized microservices architecture, pioneering a new category of adaptive AI infrastructure, designed to power the age of reasoning with NeuralMesh™.

With over 140 patents and more than a decade of research and development, NeuralMesh is the world’s only storage system purpose-built to meet the demands of accelerated compute workloads. NeuralMesh interconnects data, compute, and AI services across any data environment–from edge, core, hyperscale clouds, neoclouds and beyond–with extreme precision and efficiency, enabling you to build dynamic AI factories that run anywhere.

WEKA Data Platform

Whether you’re a neocloud provider building AI services, an enterprise implementing AI workflows, or an AI company training frontier models, NeuralMesh provides an intelligent, adaptive software foundation for enterprise and agentic AI innovation that can support the requirements of your organization’s data environment today – and scale with your AI ambitions into the future.

Introducing NeuralMesh: The Foundation for Enterprise AI and Agentic AI Innovation

WEKA CEO and cofounder Liran Zvibel shares the origin story of WEKA, the industry shift that’s reshaping infrastructure needs, and the company’s bold evolution from a data platform to a containerized microservices architecture built for the AI era.
