WEKA is a software defined Parallel file system for AI and other performance intensive workloads leading to a paradigm shift in how data is stored, processed, and managed.
Overview
WEKA is a revolutionary software-defined parallel file system that transforms how enterprises handle their most demanding AI, ML, and high-performance computing workloads. Purpose-built for organizations seeking to bridge the performance gap between on-premises and cloud environments, WEKA delivers unprecedented speed, scalability, and cost efficiency.
At its core, WEKA is built on an innovative architecture that accelerates AI model training by 10x while achieving 90% GPU utilization, dramatically reducing time-to-insight for complex workloads. The platform seamlessly integrates with AWS and supports multiple storage protocols (S3, POSIX, NFS, CSI), enabling 90% faster data pipelines and efficient hybrid cloud workflows.
What sets WEKA apart is its intelligent data management system that automatically extends your namespace to HAQM S3, optimizing storage costs while maintaining accessibility. The platform's dynamic scaling capability ensures you only pay for resources when needed, delivering up to 65% reduction in storage infrastructure costs compared to traditional solutions.
WEKA is particularly valuable for:
Drug Discovery: Accelerate cryo-em workflows from weeks to hours
Genomics: Reduce genomic processing workflows from months to days
Content Production: Achieve 120 frames per second rendering in cloud environments
AI Foundation Model Training: Train models at exabyte scale while maintaining terabyte-level costs
AI inference at Scale: Sub-millisecond latency at petabyte scale to drive responsive AI applications
HPC Organizations: Execute complex scientific simulations with unprecedented efficiency
HiTech and EDA: 30x improvement in checkout times and support full chip and semiconductor design in AWS
With the recent addition of HAQM SageMaker HyperPod support, WEKA enables organizations to accelerate distributed model training, reduce checkpoint times by 90%, and cut model data load times by 50%. This integration delivers 5x faster storage performance, transforming month-long training epochs into days while maintaining over 90% GPU utilization.
For enterprises seeking to future-proof their data infrastructure while maximizing ROI, WEKA offers the perfect blend of on-premises performance with cloud flexibility, making it the definitive choice for next-generation computing needs
*NOTE: HAQM EC2 instances and HAQM S3 cost is not included in the WEKA Data Platform licensing.
