    The Lightning IQ platform makes the impossible, possible, with its revolutionary design and performance - capable of mapping and indexing petabytes of metadata and full-text in hours.

    Blistering speed

    Scan and index petabytes of metadata and full-text in hours. Transform your data driven initiatives and go from data chaos to data quality across your entire enterprise.
     

    Innovative architecture

    Distributed, event-driven, asynchronous and stateless micro-services deliver best-in-class performance and provide a platform for rapid innovation.
     

     

    High-risk data identification

    Quickly identify ROT, find PII, and/or the location of confidential or critical intellectual property.
     

    Effortless deployment

    Fully automated deployment both on-prem or in the cloud eliminates the time-consuming, error-prone "configuration" typically associated with data scanning.
     

     

    AI-Readiness 

    Lightning IQ scans petabytes of enterprise data to uncover hidden risks - across file shares, cloud drives, and legacy systems - before they become AI liabilities.
     

    Terabytes in minutes; petabytes in hours

    Scale up and down - horizontally and vertically - as needed. No drive too small, no network cluster too big for Lightning IQ.

Solve problems that legacy tools cannot.

Most platforms were built for gigabytes, not petabytes. They struggle with speed, scale and silos. Lightning IQ is different.
  • Works on live storage without moving data.
  • Scans every day, not every quarter.
  • Delivers actions, not just visibility.
  • Operates across vendors with no proprietary footprint.
  • Designed for compliance-grade control at enterprise scale.
Where legacy data management tools fail, Lightning IQ succeeds.
 
Where storage-native tools fall short, Lightning IQ connects the gaps. 



 

New revenue streams are just a lightning scan away.

  • Software-only deployment, no hardware lock-in.
  • Built for both local and global services and consulting orgs.
