About Quobyte

Bringing Hyperscaler-efficiency to Enterprise AI The world’s most demanding workloads — from AI and Machine Learning to massive High-Performance Computing (HPC) projects — are often limited not by the power of GPUs, but by the storage that feeds them. Traditional enterprise storage is too slow, unscalable and inflexible and HPC storage is plagued by complexity and a lack of reliability. Quobyte was founded to solve this fundamental problem. Our story begins with two ex-Googlers, Felix Hupfeld and Björn Kolbeck. They saw firsthand the immense power of the hyperscaler approach: resilient, scalable software running on commodity hardware that could be managed by small, efficient teams even at a tremendous scale. The storage industry is still dominated by vendors and startups recycling the same outdated technologies and ideas, even though the scale of modern AI has completely outpaced their capabilities. Our founders recognized this limitation. They knew that to unlock the next generation of performance, a radical new approach was needed: applying the design principles of hyperscaler systems and distributed computing to enterprise storage. Successful AI projects operate at a scale most companies have never encountered before. While most businesses aren't the size of Google, the intense demands of AI and HPC make hyperscaler-efficient operations an absolute necessity. That’s why Quobyte is engineered directly after the principles of the "Datacenter-scale computers" championed by Google, ensuring you get the performance and operational simplicity needed to win at AI. Quobyte Architected for AI™ We created Quobyte to bring this game-changing efficiency and scalability to you. The result is storage Architected for AI™: a system that completely shatters the limitations of legacy vendors. How did we do it? We built Quobyte from the ground up on two guiding principles: operational simplicity and bulletproof resiliency. This led us to develop a storage system that is fundamentally different under the hood: a distributed system with a flat, single-layer architecture. This design makes our storage predictable, easy to understand, and capable of scaling horizontally well into the tens of thousands of servers. Our bulletproof resiliency is implemented entirely in the software — no need for exotic components or fragile hardware redundancy – and works at data center scale and beyond. This is the true enabler for hyperscaler-efficient operations, meaning storage teams can work on their own schedule, not constantly driven by hardware failure. The end result is a software-defined storage system that’s so simple and resilient, we’ve made it available as a download. We don't have to hide behind inflexible appliances, restrictive managed services, or complex systems that customers aren't allowed to touch. We put the power of the hyperscaler storage directly into your hands.
