HPE Solutions with Weka
Are your most demanding compute jobs slowed by performance bottlenecks? Workloads in financial services, life sciences, manufacturing, and artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) need a modern data platform that eliminates those performance barriers. HPE Solutions for Weka is a scalable data platform that is ideal for performance-intensive workloads. The WEKA Data Platform is built on WekaFS, a data-efficient, flash-native, POSIX file system that delivers the high IOPS and low-latency throughput needed for demanding compute requirements. The platform provides policy-based tiering, so data can span between NVMe flash to object storage in a single namespace for easy management and cost-effective economics. The same software is available in the cloud with integrated data mobility. For performance-intensive workloads the WEKA Data Platform employs an innovative storage architecture to provide performance at exabyte scale to solve today’s biggest data-intensive problems.

What's New
- Hewlett Packard Enterprise now offers WEKA enhanced perfromance software products in usable terabytes (TB) with additional discounts for multi-year and opportunity registration.
- In addition to AWS and Oracle® cloud, WEKA products for Google Cloud™ (GCP™) and Azure are available from HPE. This enables HPE customers to deploy WEKA in their hybrid cloud environments.
- WEKA can continuously and without interruption, incrementally update file system changes to the cloud environment for hybrid cloud workloads.
- WEKA has updated protocol stacks, implementing a new version of SMB, SMB-W, that provides up to 3x performance improvement as well as NFSv4
- HPE offers WEKA services including installation, dark site support, and general professional services. 24x7 remote support is still included in all product SKUs.
Key Features
Reduced Time to Results - Due to High Performance and Microsecond Latency
HPE Solutions for Weka is designed for flash using NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) technology, WekaFS software accesses the underlying flash media directly in its native 4KB format, so that both small files and large data sets can be processed in record time.
Low latency InfiniBand or 100GbE support means that data does not have to be local to the customer for best performance. Data is dynamically distributed across the cluster for parallel access, resilience, and consistent performance and scalability.
The WekaFS software from HPE can leverage a single infrastructure to work on-premises or in the cloud (public or private) and elastically scale to match the requirements of your CPU or GPU resources.
Reduced CAPEX and OPEX - Through Improved Resource Utilization
HPE Solutions for Weka's full POSIX compliance means applications won't need to be rewritten to take advantage of WekaFS performance.
This architecture allows shared POSIX-based access to your data without the requirement for unnecessary copies for data protection, providing full storage resource utilization.
Multiprotocol support - POSIX, NFS, Object/S3, NVIDIA® GPUDirect Storage (GDS), Camera Serial Interface (CSI), and Server Message Block (SMB) allows one platform to serve your data lifecycle needs.
The WekaFS supports expansion of the global namespace by tiering to any S3-compatible object store (HPE provisioned, third party, or public cloud) for cost-effective storage at massive scale.
Cloud Scale and Economics for Increased ROI
HPE Solutions for Weka's provides an innovative snapshot to S3 feature which enables cloud bursting, remote backup to the cloud, and cloud-based disaster recovery.
Supports private or hybrid cloud environments without modification.
With WekaFS software from HPE, you can create a flexible infrastructure tuned for HPE hardware that can not only handle peak workloads but also scales for performance and capacity growth as system requirements evolve.
Complete Feature Set and Outstanding Performance for Demanding Enterprise Workloads
HPE Solutions for Weka's native flash implementation and support for high-performance interconnect fabrics helps eliminate the bottlenecks associated with legacy storage approaches, and the solution can be easily monitored, tuned, and managed using an intuitive browser-based administration console.
The solution supports Ethernet and InfiniBand of up to 200 Gbps and beyond, allowing full use of existing network, while accommodating future upgrades for improved performance and low latency. The software-defined platform enables flexible adaptation to future generations of infrastructure.
The WekaFS software from HPE supports small and large files, random and sequential access, and accelerates metadata access with distributed parallel access.
WekaFS delivers many enterprise features that are mandatory, including snapshots, clones, encryption (at rest and in-flight), key management, user authentication, client authentication, tiering, cloud-bursting, quotas, Kubernetes persistent storage, network high availability, and much more.
