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

Lightning-fast data scanning.
Scan and index petabytes of unstructured data in hours. And, yes, this includes full-text indexing.
No other software comes close.


Modern architecture.
Distributed, event-driven, asynchronous and stateless micro-services deliver best-in-class performance and provide a platform for rapid innovation.
Designed from the ground up for a petabyte world.
Automated deployment.
Fully automated deployment both on-prem or in the cloud eliminates the time-consuming, error-prone "configuration" typically associated with data scanning.
One click is all it takes.


Dynamic scaling.
Scale up and down - horizontally and vertically - as needed. No drive too small, no network cluster too big for Lightning IQ.
Designed to meet your most pressing data challenges - no matter where they reside.
Continuous monitoring.
System health, service performance and infrastructure are continuously monitored - providing instant notifications in case of unexpected behavior.
Lightning IQ eliminates guesswork.


Resilient and fault tolerant.
Category-defining availability with an innovative self-healing design allows for real-time monitoring at petabyte scale.
Reliable and predictable performance where you need it most.
Pluggable and extensible.
Specialized file processors operating independently allow for endless combinations and expansion of the scanning scope.
Data never rests - neither does Lightning IQ.


Built for today and the future.
Lightning IQ was purpose-built to tackle the rapidly evolving petabyte-sized data challenges found in every organization. From AI readiness to cyber security assessments to PII identification - only Lightning IQ can give you real-time insights into your petabyte world.
Fast changes everything.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you REALLY scan petabytes in hours?
Yes - and we'd love to show you in a personal demo.
Do your scans include full-text?
We apply highly optimized indexing and search algorithms that dramatically reduce the disk space requirements for indexes and makes searching spectacularly fast.
What you are saying is unbelievable.
Yeah - we get that a lot.
Can you scan Azure or other Microsoft storage?
Yes.
Can you scan AWS and Google Cloud storage?
Yes.
How about Dell, NetApp clusters?
Yes.
Can this software be managed and used by a single operator?
Yes, the software can be installed, deployed and run by a single user.
You can create scans, modify settings, control scan speeds, define scan locations and review scan results without needing to code or have an IT developer..
Do you offer custom development services?
Yes, if you want to scan or analyze a data type outside of our current list of supported files, we do provide development services in addition to standard licensing fees.
