WEKA + AWS = No More Compromises
Performance without Sacrificing Simplicity.
Speed On-Premises and in the Cloud.
Scale On-Demand.

The Fastest
Most scalable
Storage Solution on AWS.
WEKA on the AWS Cloud or AWS Outposts is an ideal platform for applications such as Artificial Intelligence and technical compute workloads (HPC) that demand low latency performance and scalability in an affordable way. WEKA is ideal for mixed workloads where applications can have unpredictable file sizes (small and large). No tuning required.

I looked at a lot of storage systems in AWS and chose WEKA because of the ability to tier to S3 storage for best cost given the volume of data we are creating. But ultimately the level of support that WEKA gave was the deciding factor.
Samuel Reid, Head of Technology, Untold StudiosWatch NowIf you’re not utilizing S3 well in the cloud, then you are missing a trick. WEKA’s ability to provide seamless, fully automated tiering into S3 was one of the big selling points for us.
Alan McSeveney, Head of TechnologyLearn MoreThe ability to write to S3 and read back very quickly using WEKA, changed our game a lot. We can now consider experiments that earlier, because of all these headaches, might have taken us 3 months, and now we can do these exact same experiments in less than 1 week

WekaFS is deployed on AWS EC2 I3 instances with local NVMe to form a high performance storage layer. The software extends the namespace to an S3 bucket for large scale capacity and optimal cost. The entire data set is available to the applications without the need to move or copy data. The namespace can extend from Terabytes to Petabytes. The same data can be accessed by multiple protocols – S3, NFS, SMB, POSIX and NVIDA GPUDirect.

Explore WEKA on the AWS Marketplace
WekaFS is the most performant file system on the AWS Marketplace and has taken first place on the definitive Supercomputing Performance benchmark, the IO-500. Compared to FSx for Lustre, WekaFS delivers 5x better performance for a comparable SSD capacity. And better still, WekaFS is less than half the cost, delivering an true enterprise class product with multi-protocol support and namespace extensibility to S3 without the pain of copying data from one service to another.

Key Use Cases
- Financial Services
- Health & Life Sciences
- Media & Entertainment
Financial Services
Financial Services organizations rely on quantitative modeling
to help mitigate risk, detect fraud and develop new trading
algorithms. WEKA offers a modern cloud storage architecture
that delivers on-premises performance to the most demanding
I/O intensive workloads and latency-sensitive applications.
Used by leading quantitative trading companies, WEKA helps
them gain a competitive advantage and improve trading
outcomes.
Health & Life Sciences
Storing and analyzing large data sets in the cloud, whether it is
next-generation sequencing, imaging, or microscopy requires a
modern approach for faster insights and better economics.
WEKA accelerates time to insights by eliminating the
performance bottlenecks across the Life Sciences data
pipeline, while significantly reducing the cost and complexity of
managing data at scale.
Media & Entertainment
The AWS cloud is an ideal place to start your digital media production journey with infinite VFX compute and storage capacity at your fingertips to take on the biggest to
the smallest project. WEKA delivers the performance throughput to keep up with high frame rates and high bit-depth workflows. Artists can share a single data set between Mac and Windows applications – all served from a single data set. Built-in the AWS
cloud, it allows you to store your projects on S3 while getting the highest performance from its NVMe tier. Dropped frames become a thing of the past, play uncompiled or
unrendered content without a hiccup.
