Data Infrastructure Built for the Cloud & AI Era
Our Story
Modern, AI-native organizations sink or swim based on their access to massive volumes of data. They shouldn’t have to choose between speed, simplicity, scale, or sustainability when storing, managing, processing, and analyzing their data. Instead, these elements should be foundational in every data environment, not points of compromise.
That’s why we’re building a software-defined, platform-based data management approach to support the explosive and ever-growing data needs of artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-performance computing, and other next-generation workloads – flawlessly, sustainably, and without boundaries, whether your data lives on premises, in the cloud, or both.
In 2013, as this next generation of performance-intensive workloads was infiltrating enterprises at an accelerated pace, our founders set out with a blank sheet of paper, a novel programming language, and a vision to create a fundamentally different approach to managing data that would eradicate the compromises of the past while supercharging the future.
What we built is the WEKA®️ Data Platform, designed from the ground up with a clear purpose: Seamlessly and sustainably deliver speed, simplicity, and scale that meets the needs of modern enterprises and research organizations.
WEKA’s advanced, software-defined architecture supports next-generation workloads in virtually any location with cloud simplicity and on-premises performance. It transforms stagnant data storage silos into dynamic data pipelines to fuel AI, ML, and HPC workloads that seamlessly span edge, core, cloud, hybrid, and multicloud environments. This enables innovation at the speed of science with limitless creativity and the ability to turn ideas into outcomes quickly – all while lowering costs and embracing 21st-century sensibilities for a healthy planet.
