Weka.IO, the leader in high performance, scalable file storage for data
intensive applications, has been named a Cool Vendor by Gartner, Inc.,
the world's leading research and advisory company, in the Gartner Cool
Vendors in Storage Technologies, 2018 report. We feel that this is a
highly prized distinction that recognizes companies disrupting the
status quo with fresh ideas that enable digital transformation.
"In our view, it's been a great year for WekaIO and this recognition
from Gartner is further confirmation that our exceptional
software-defined storage technology is well positioned to support deep
learning, analytics, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads,"
said Liran Zvibel, CEO and Co-founder of WekaIO. "We believe that
Gartner reports like the Cool Vendor kind can assist CIOs in filtering
out hype and targeting new solutions that can catapult the digital
transformation continuum. To us, it's an honor to be included in this
year's report and to be recognized as one of the companies disrupting

WekaIO's flagship product, Matrix, is the fastest software-based, shared
storage solution in the industry, on any server platform, on-premises or
in the cloud. Performance is substantiated on SPEC SFS benchmarks, where
WekaIO outperformed all previously submitted dedicated appliance results
by 2X, reaching 1200 simultaneous software builds. Matrix is ideal for
data intensive use cases where time to results is of paramount
importance. Examples include artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning, business analytics and risk analysis, genomics and bioimaging.
Standard industry benchmarks and customer deployments have validated
that WekaIO Matrix is delivers faster performance than state-of-the-art
all-flash arrays, which we feel, means Matrix fully embodies the Gartner
Cool Vendor premise of innovative, impactful and intriguing technology."
