Hammerspace

Local Access to Global Data

About Hammerspace

Hammerspace is radically changing how unstructured data is used and preserved. Our Global Data Platform unifies unstructured data across edge, data centers, and clouds. It provides extreme parallel performance for AI, GPUs, and high-speed data analytics, and orchestrates data to any location and any storage system. This eliminates data silos and makes data an instantly accessible resource for users, applications, and compute clusters, no matter where they are located.

Global Namespace

Hammerspace's Global Namespace is a revolutionary data management solution designed to unify and simplify the access, movement, and management of data across diverse storage environments. By abstracting the physical location of data, Hammerspace creates a global namespace that allows users to access and manage their data seamlessly, regardless of where it resides. This approach eliminates data silos, enhances collaboration, and optimises resource utilisation across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid storage infrastructures.

Benefits of Hammerspace Global Namespace

Enhanced Collaboration: Facilitates easier collaboration across teams and locations by providing a consistent and unified data access experience.
Operational Efficiency: Reduces the complexity of managing disparate storage systems and automates routine tasks, freeing up IT resources for more strategic initiatives.
Cost Optimisation: Optimises storage costs by intelligently placing data on the most appropriate storage tier based on usage and value.
Improved Data Mobility: Enables seamless data movement across different environments, supporting hybrid and multi-cloud strategies.
Data Resilience: Enhances data protection and disaster recovery capabilities through automated replication and failover mechanisms.

Hammerspace Helps Make Your Customer’s Data Global

Hammerspace is a software-defined data orchestration and storage solution that unifies data into a single, global namespace across geographic locations, different storage types, and multiple data centres and clouds.

The Hammerspace Global Data Environment provides users and applications the experience of ‘local’ access to all their data, no matter where it’s stored, or where the users or applications are located.

Read/Write From Anywhere

Leverage all of your data, from anywhere in the world, no matter where it is stored.

Unify Data Silos

Unify all of your data from edge, across datacenters, and the cloud into a single, accessible data set.

Overcome Data Gravity

Move your data with ease to the compute resources or applications that help you innovate.

How It Works

The Hammerspace solution provides a truly global file system which integrates advances in machine learning and NAS protocols to free data from the constraints of legacy storage solutions.

Metadata Replication

By managing metadata separately from data, it becomes possible to make file data appear virtually anywhere without copying it. Across sites, data is replicated asynchronously with multi-site collision detection so that data is never lost.

Machine Learning Policy-Engine

A machine learning engine runs a continuous simulation between data and available infrastructure resources. The model provides a rich understanding of the global data environment by continuously collecting performance telemetry from workloads for each file accessed. Data management decisions are made in real time at file-level granularity, balancing performance and cost across the hybrid cloud.

Live Data Mobility

Data is non-disruptively mobilized to deliver agility and high-performance access to data across the hybrid cloud using scale-out data services. Live data mobility between storage systems and cloud services is achieved using advanced data layout techniques to seamlessly move data through the file system, even during active read/write.
