Every Microsecond Saved Translates to Increased Profitability

Bringing financial teams a low latency, high performance, and scalable storage infrastructure has never been easier.

USE CASES

Speed to Rise Above the Competition

In financial services, winners run complex models faster. WEKA® NeuralMesh™ provides ultra-low latency access for time-sensitive data pipelines, enabling AI teams to make split-second decisions and outpace the competition.

Quantitative Trading

When most public market trading runs on algorithms, the firm that tests more strategies per week compounds an edge. NeuralMesh removes the I/O wait between idea and result.

High Frequency Trading (HFT)

HFT lives on predictable latency, not average latency. NeuralMesh holds performance steady through peak market activity so scenario analysis and backtesting stay on schedule.

Real-Time Sports and Prediction Markets

Live events move odds by the second. NeuralMesh ingests event data and feeds prediction models fast enough to price in real time as the user base grows.

Banking and Capital Markets

Retention rules keep decades of records on hand while seasonal demand swings hard. NeuralMesh scales capacity and performance separately, so an audit lookback doesn't slow trading.

Fraud Detection

A fraud model has milliseconds to decide while an authorization is open. NeuralMesh serves years of transaction history at that speed, so scoring happens inline, not overnight.

Payments Analytics

Payment volumes spike without warning, and every disputed charge needs its history pulled. NeuralMesh absorbs the spike while keeping years of settlement detail queryable.

Risk Modeling

Monte Carlo and stress-test runs read huge scenario sets in parallel. NeuralMesh feeds them at high concurrency, which is what turns an overnight risk batch into an intraday one.

How WEKA Customers are Beating Their Competition

Financial firms need real-time data access to speed checkpointing, raise throughput, and lower total cost, both on premises and in the cloud.

0%
decrease in infrastructure cost
Achieved by layering a performance tier over cheaper capacity instead of buying more NVMe, with no loss of performance.
0x
faster than legacy all-flash NAS
Measured by a capital markets client that moved analytics off NAS and kept seamless backup to its object store.
0%
reduction in complex backtesting runtime
An overnight backtest became an afternoon job, which changes how many strategies a team can test in a week.
0%
cut in database run time vs. local NVMe
Measured against local NVMe on the same database workload, so the data path stops being the limit.

WHY WEKA

Compound a Research Velocity Advantage

Adding GPUs stops helping once storage is the constraint. The lever still available is the data path underneath the compute you already own.

Test More Strategies per Week
Extreme concurrency lets you run dozens to hundreds of models and backtests at once instead of queuing them, so research throughput stops being capped by the storage layer.

Test More Strategies per Week
Extreme concurrency lets you run dozens to hundreds of models and backtests at once instead of queuing them, so research throughput stops being capped by the storage layer.
Hold Latency Steady Through Peak Volume
Predictable low latency matters more than a good average when markets move. NeuralMesh is built for random access and extreme concurrency rather than sequential I/O, which is where legacy arrays fall down.
Get More From the Hardware You Own
A performance tier over cheaper capacity beats buying more NVMe at nine-month lead times. One firm cut infrastructure cost 86% without giving up performance.

Keep Quants Out of the Storage Queue
Automatic tiering runs without admin intervention, so your researchers always have their simulation data and your infrastructure team never gets pulled in to stage it.
Move Data Once, Not Between Protocols
POSIX, NFS, SMB, and S3 come off one namespace, so market data goes from ingest to compute without copies, and there is one source of truth to audit against.
Run the Same Stack On Premises and in Cloud
Software-defined and vendor-agnostic, so you can burst for a heavy simulation window without migrating data, and your architecture survives the next hardware refresh cycle.
