This designation recognizes that the Weka File system (WekaFS), a scalable parallel file system for performance workloads, has demonstrated integration with AWS Outposts deployments. AWS Outposts is a managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent hybrid cloud experience.

Achieving the AWS Outposts Ready designation differentiates Weka as an APN member with a product tested on AWS Outposts. AWS Outposts Ready products are available and supported for AWS customers, with deployment documentation for AWS Outposts. AWS Service Ready Partners have demonstrated success building products integrated with AWS services, helping AWS customers evaluate and use their technology productively, at scale and varying levels of complexity.

“Customers are looking for better ways to store and manage their data across the enterprise as part of a comprehensive digitization initiative,” said Joshua Burgin, GM, AWS Outposts, AWS. “With WekaIO WekaFS for AWS Outposts, customers can benefit from high performance and a comprehensive data management solution for any application in their environment, on AWS Outposts, or in AWS Regions, for a truly consistent hybrid experience.“

AWS Outposts is for workloads that require low latency access to on-premises systems, local data processing, or local storage. Weka supports all  industry use cases with AWS Outposts such as AI/ML, healthcare, telecommunications, M&E, financial services, retail, and manufacturing automation.

“WekaFS was born on AWS, we deliver a no-compromise single infrastructure that delivers on the full promise of the cloud-highest performance with lowest latency, agility, cost-efficiency, ease-of-management and unlimited capacity scaling,” said Liran Zvibel, CEO and co-founder, WekaIO. “As an AWS Outposts Ready Partner, we are able to help AWS customers overcome the challenges of achieving fast application performance and data management at any scale and achieve their desired outcomes regardless of the implementation they pursue-edge to core or cloud. Weka is one of the early APN Technology Partners to participate in the launch of the AWS Outposts Ready program and the solution is available today.“

To support the integration and deployment of AWS Outposts ready solutions, AWS established the AWS Outposts Ready Program to help customers identify products integrated with AWS Outposts. Customers can spend less time evaluating new tools, and more time scaling their use of products that are integrated with AWS Outposts deployments.
