NGX is a European enterprise storage vendor founded in 2015 and headquartered in Ankara, Türkiye, within a university-linked technology park. Branding itself as "Made in Europe," the company operates R&D centers in India and commercial operations across four continents. Its founding premise is straightforward: data storage should be powerful, flexible, and manageable across every protocol from a single platform.
The company frames its value proposition around a clear industry pain point. Enterprise storage has become fragmented, expensive, and operationally overwhelming, with organizations juggling separate NAS, SAN, and object storage platforms, each with its own tools and infrastructure costs. The AI era compounds this complexity, as training and inference workloads demand fast access to enormous datasets, microsecond NVMe latency, and extreme throughput at scale. NGX's argument is that these converging pressures require a fundamentally new storage architecture built for extreme performance and data scale from the ground up.
The company offers a unified portfolio organized into five product lines. The NGX-H is a dual-controller hybrid system scaling to 38PB, supporting Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NFS, SMB and S3. The NGX-AFA mirrors that architecture but runs exclusively on NVMe SSDs for latency-sensitive workloads up to 34PB. The NGX ExaScale is a scale-out NVMe block storage platform using NVMe-oF with RDMA/TCP, designed for AI and HPC workloads and scaling to hundreds of petabytes in future releases. The NGX HyperIO is the scale-out object storage platform, built on high-density nodes with erasure coding, geo-dispersed protection, self-healing, and multi-site replication, suited for analytics, backup, and large-scale archival. Finally, a Scale-Out NAS capability built on top of the AFA and Hybrid platforms supports AI workloads, HPC, and data lake architectures at exabyte scale. Across all products, the platform includes inline compression and deduplication, thin provisioning, full RAID levels, and three-way and four-way mirroring.
NGX also offers a MetroScale Cluster capability for active-active datacenter deployments, delivering zero RTO and zero RPO, validated for SAP, Oracle, Red Hat, and Microsoft Windows environments. Its customer base is 99% enterprise, spanning verticals including finance, healthcare, defense, media, oil and gas, and education, with use cases covering virtualization, VDI, HPC, AI/ML, backup, and business continuity. Technology partners include Intel, Nvidia, Veeam, VMware, Kioxia, and Western Digital. The company is actively expanding into Poland, Spain, Malaysia, South Korea, and the UAE, and is currently developing the third generation of its unified storage platform, reinforcing its positioning as a full-lifecycle storage vendor with no hardware vendor lock-in.
