Wekaio Today

Three seasoned engineers—Liran Zvibel, Omri Palmon, and Maor Ben-Dayan—understood the problem intimately. Having built storage systems at companies like XIV (acquired by IBM), they saw a fundamental flaw: legacy file systems (like NFS, Lustre, and GPFS) were designed for spinning hard drives, not the parallel speed of flash.

WekaIO instead gives every worker their own small box of puzzle pieces (local flash) and a telepathy link (NVMe-oF) to everyone else’s box. When a worker needs a specific piece, they don’t ask one person—they grab it directly from the box where it lives. The work happens in parallel, without waiting. WekaIO evolved from a software-only product to a complete data platform. It now supports hybrid cloud, allowing companies to burst their workloads from on-premises flash to public clouds like AWS and Azure without changing a line of code. wekaio

In the mid-2010s, a quiet crisis was brewing in data centers. Flash storage—blazing-fast SSDs—had arrived, but the software running the servers couldn't keep up. It was like putting a Formula 1 engine inside a horse-drawn carriage. The hardware was ready to scream, but the operating system and traditional file systems were choking on the data. When a worker needs a specific piece, they
