ScaleFlux develops and ships Computational Storage devices that combine low-latency 3D‑NAND flash with on‑drive compute to address I/O and algorithmically intensive bottlenecks. Its technology is deployed across database, big data, and data warehousing applications and is shipping in volume for revenue production. The company says its Computational Storage minimizes application run-time, optimizes flash capacity utilization, and enhances total cost of ownership for cloud and webscale data centers. ScaleFlux positions its product as easy to deploy as a standard PCIe SSD and as a foundation for modern data center infrastructure. Management plans to use new funding to accelerate global expansion and to expand the number of supported applications and use cases. Founded in 2014 and based in San Jose, Calif., ScaleFlux has raised over $40M in total funding to date. ScaleFlux ships production-qualified Computational Storage Subsystem (CSS) products that move compute to data by combining low-power Xilinx FPGAs with terabytes of 3D NAND and advanced flash controller technology. CSS offers turnkey Linux plug-in software and installs via standard PCIe HHHL AIC and 2.5" U.2 drive form factors. The company emphasizes power-efficient offloads for compute-intensive applications and lists use cases including Aerospike, Hadoop, HBase, KV-store databases, MySQL, and Spark. ScaleFlux highlights partnerships and platform integrations to demonstrate applicability and market potential. The company says its CSS can be tuned or modified over time to add value‑add computational storage features. Founded in 2014 and based in San Jose, ScaleFlux describes itself as a well-funded startup focused on volume deployment of computational storage.
