SMARTER STORAGE AT THE EDGE

While others move the data to the computing, we drive the computing to where the data sits

Our Story

The inspiration for Cachengo started with our visionary CEO and Founder, Ash Young, who has spent the last 30+ years pioneering new technology in the storage industry.

The storage architecture and software stack that is commonplace today was his idea over 20 years ago, back when most people had never even heard of Linux or open source. As the status quo inevitably shifted the time finally seemed right to make a change.

The early storage solutions were expensive, large and consisted of multiple rack-mountable parts. Ash realized this and felt things could become more mainstream if the appliances were all-in-one, utilized a more open-source approach to the OS, and could leverage commodity components.

Our Mission

We set out to provide the best performing and easiest to deploy storage systems to meet the increased global demands for Edge Computing, Machine Learning (ML), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) by replacing the over-use of single, large CPUs with several smaller ones, embedded onto each drive to perform localized computing where the data actually sits.

Our Vision

We set forth on a path to dramatically alter the status quo computing paradigm that relies heavily on migrating data from disk, to CPU, back to disk – to one where the computing is truly distributed and is driven to each drive. This results in a dramatic reduction in data center footprint and greenhouse gases in the environment.

Our Headquarters

While many in our company began their careers in Silicon Valley, we wanted a location that would allow us to easily bring manufacturing back to the United States. After much soul-searching we decided to plant our roots in West Tennessee, which we now proudly call our home.
