UltiHash

Today, we’re live with the UltiHash launch on Product Hunt! ?? I’d love to get your support and feedback. If you have a few minutes today, check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dwNZeF_5 For all hunters curious to test UltiHash, you can easily set it up with Minikube in your dev environment and use our free 10 TB license. I recorded a video about UltiHash and how to get started on Product Hunt —> link straight to the video in the comments.

The real bottleneck in AI today isn’t about processing speed – it’s about how quickly processors can access the massive amounts of data needed to train models. Over the last few years, improvements in memory have been lagging behind the performance gains of processors. As a result, considerable time is spent on moving data to and from processors, which can easily become a bottleneck in AI training and inference processes. UltiHash was founded by Tom Lüdersdorf in 2022 to develop software solutions to store and retrieve data quickly and efficiently for AI and advanced analytics applications. They allow users to build a modern data lakehouse in the cloud and on-premises, reducing storage resources without compromising speed. In late 2023, UltiHash raised a 2.5M pre-seed round led by Inventure and joined by PSV, Tiny Supercomputer Investment Company, Futuristic.vc, The Nordic Web, and several business angels. Learn more about the future of object storage for AI and data analytics from my interview with the founder and CEO, Tom Lüdersdorf:?

"This is exactly what you want for AI and analytics workflows, where time-to-value from data trumps most other considerations." That's the take on UltiHash from?Steve McDowell, Chief Analyst at?NAND Research, from this?SiliconANGLE & theCUBE?profile covering our general availability launch today. We completely agree. From startups to large corporations, datasets are growing exponentially, making it a struggle to store data and access it at the speed needed for AI and analytics - without skyrocketing costs. UltiHash addresses this with advanced deduplication that eliminates redundant data at the byte level, so volumes can expand without proportional cost increases. You can test it out for free on your own data ultihash.io. https://lnkd.in/eCdj7Z3i

Thrilled to announce the general availability launch of UltiHash! Our object storage is purpose-built for AI and advanced analytics, cutting storage resource use by up to 60% without sacrificing speed. It’s got byte-level deduplication, an S3-compatible API to connect all your tools, and a Kubernetes-native design for easy deployment in the cloud and on-prem. UltiHash has been designed to meet the demands of large-scale data operations in modern lakehouse architectures. It’s been a crazy two-year ride building UltiHash in stealth, testing it out with everyone from fellow startups to major players - and all this while AI has been gaining momentum like never before. Huge shoutout to our partner Bosch for helping us validate UltiHash as part of their dev infrastructure for self-driving vehicles. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing team - Juliette, Stefan, Max, Simon, and Maksim. Thank you all for putting in the long hours, and making it fun along the way. We’ve supported each other, stayed true to our low-ego, high-skill, no-bullshit mindset. Couldn’t ask for a better team! We’re stoked about all the new features coming in Q4, and the team is here to help you get the most out of UltiHash. You can test UltiHash for free right now at https://www.ultihash.io/ And for us at UltiHash, the work is just getting started! #UltiHashLaunch?#objectstorage #AI

We’re excited that UltiHash has been mentioned in WIRED’s list of the hottest startups in Berlin! Thank you! I’m a big fan of Berlin, and since we decided to build UltiHash here in 2021, I haven’t looked back. Do I occasionally feel FOMO for the SF tech crowd? Absolutely—Berlin’s data infra ecosystem is still young and relatively small in comparison. But building in person with the energy of the UltiHash team here in Berlin has been incredibly exciting. Plus, validating our product early on with local enterprises like Bosch, who have their innovation campus in Berlin, has been a fantastic experience. We’re committed to engineering our software in Berlin, alongside amazing companies like Qdrant, SLAY, Dryad Networks, Ovom Care, Jina AI, Endel, Cambrium, theblood, BlueLayer and many more not mentioned. https://lnkd.in/eTf3Yssb

Excited to be part of the ?thos launch in Berlin tomorrow! ?? I'll be introducing UltiHash, our data storage solution for AI? If you're around, come by our booth for a chat! Looking forward to talking about AI, model training or RAG implementations. ??

?? Excited to share a win with you – UltiHash has taken first place at the ESMT Demo Day 2024! It was a special moment for our team, especially standing on stage with amazing Juliette Lehmann, an ESMT alumna herself! Huge thanks to our dedicated team for all their hard work, and to everyone who cheered us on. Presenting in front of such a dynamic audience and fielding questions from the judges Johanna Junkermann, Philipp Semmer, Helmut Kranzmaier was an amazing experience. Grateful to ESMT Berlin for organizing this fantastic event and to the inspiring startups we competed alongside. The future is bright! Here’s to what’s ahead! ??

At UltiHash, we’re constantly exploring ways to stay ahead of the curve in the #B2BSaaS industry. Recently, we had the opportunity to participate in a B2B SaaS survey led by BCG X! Drawing insights from over 100 companies, BCG X developed a comprehensive playbook outlining four key priorities for B2B SaaS companies to succeed in 2024 and beyond.
