HellaStorm, Inc. is a privately held high tech company focused on Hyperscale Data Movement solutions (Video, IoT, Big Data). Our best-in-class leadership and engineering team with 100+ years of combinded experience was founded in 2012 in Atlanta GA. HellaStorm's hardware-based massively parallel Stream Processing Unit (SPU) for data streaming and capture applications leverages our core IP to accelerate the data movement, key protocols, and file system. The SPU enables low and deterministic latency 'time to first byte'​ independent of load. With significantly higher throughput, each HellaStorm SPU-based streaming video appliance can replace between two and five (or more) software powered streaming servers and with a power requirement that is a fraction of the amount required previously. With power needs so extreme in hyper-scale streaming data center environments, the lower draw per Gb/s, coupled with the high throughput is revolutionary and multiplies the service capabilities of the existing data center footprint. HellaStorm can multiply your streaming capacity by 2x, 5x, 10x or more, enabling huge savings on data center expansion. Applications for the SPU include video aquisition, aggregation, streaming, linear broadcast, live, on-demand, gaming, social networking, and AR/VR. HellaStorm is revolutionizing such markets as Mobile Edge Compute (MEC), high density data centers, IoT, telemetry, and the connected car. We are US based, with offices in Atlanta and Silicon Valley.
