Store and Protect Data Across Any Infrastructure

Eliminate storage silos while delivering the performance, protection, and flexibility required for AI

Protection That Follows Your Data

Traditional data protection is tied to storage systems. Snapshots, replication, and recovery policies are defined separately for each platform, creating operational complexity and inconsistent protection across environments.

As data expands across data centers, clouds, edge locations, and AI infrastructure, protection strategies built around individual storage silos become increasingly difficult to manage.

Hammerspace takes a different approach.

By elevating the file system into a global namespace, Hammerspace allows protection policies to be defined once and enforced consistently across storage systems, sites, and clouds. Protection follows the data wherever it resides, regardless of the underlying infrastructure.

The result is a unified approach to storing, protecting, governing, and orchestrating file and object data across the entire data environment.

Define Protection Objectives. Let the Platform Enforce Them.

Protection requirements should not depend on the capabilities of a particular storage system.

Hammerspace allows administrators to define objectives for durability, availability, governance, sovereignty, and data placement. The platform continuously manages file placement and protection across available infrastructure to satisfy those requirements.

Benefits

  • Define durability and availability objectives for data.
  • Apply protection consistently across heterogeneous storage.
  • Enforce governance and sovereignty requirements automatically.
  • Protect data across sites, regions, and clouds.
  • Eliminate storage-specific protection silos.
  • Continuously maintain alignment with business requirements.
Whether data resides on flash, disk, object storage, cloud infrastructure, or future storage platforms, protection policies remain consistent and portable.

Rather than configuring protection separately for individual storage systems, organizations define business requirements once and allow the Hammerspace Data Platform to enforce them across the global namespace.

Multiple Layers of Data Protection

Modern data environments require more than a single protection mechanism.

Hammerspace combines global snapshots, file versioning, replication, and metadata protection into a unified framework that protects data across storage systems, sites, and clouds. These capabilities work together to provide multiple layers of recovery and resilience while maintaining consistent data access through the global namespace.

Global Snapshots Across the Entire Data Environment

Traditional snapshots are typically limited to a single storage system. As organizations distribute data across multiple platforms, sites, and clouds, protection becomes fragmented and increasingly difficult to manage.

With Hammerspace, snapshots operate globally at the data layer, enabling point-in-time recovery across the global namespace regardless of where data is physically stored. Administrators can recover data from a consistent point in time without navigating multiple storage systems or protection tools.

Continuous File Versioning

Snapshots capture data at specific points in time. File versioning provides an additional layer of protection by preserving previous versions of files as changes occur.

Together, snapshots and versioning help organizations recover from accidental deletions, corruption, ransomware events, and unwanted changes while minimizing data loss.

Replication Without Boundaries

Data can be protected across sites, regions, and cloud environments while remaining visible through a single global namespace.

Rather than creating isolated protection silos, Hammerspace applies protection policies consistently across distributed infrastructure, helping ensure that data remains available, recoverable, and compliant wherever it resides.

Protect the Metadata That Protects Your Data

In the Hammerspace Data Platform, metadata is the foundation that makes data visible, accessible, and manageable across the environment. It maintains the global namespace, tracks data location and placement, enforces policies, and coordinates access across storage systems, sites, and clouds.

Protecting metadata is therefore critical to protecting the entire data environment.

Hammerspace uses multiple protection mechanisms to safeguard metadata, including local and distributed mirroring, cross-site replication, metadata checkpoints, offline recovery exports, and quorum-based protection. These layers work together to ensure the resilience and availability of the platform’s control plane.

Why It Matters

  • Maintain a consistent global namespace across sites and clouds.
  • Preserve data visibility and accessibility during failures.
  • Protect the policies that govern placement, protection, and sovereignty.
  • Accelerate recovery and business continuity operations.
  • Ensure the integrity of the data platform itself.

The result is a highly resilient metadata architecture designed to maintain visibility, access, and policy enforcement across distributed environments.

Enterprise Data Services Built Into the Platform

Hammerspace includes the core data services required to store, protect, and manage enterprise file and object data at scale.

Unlike traditional environments where these capabilities are tied to individual storage systems, Hammerspace applies them consistently across the global namespace through a single management framework.

Versioning

Snap and Clones

Erasure Coding

Dedupe and Compression

Multi-site Replication

Automated Data Placement

Data-in-Place Assimilation

Live Data Mobility

This is particularly important for AI initiatives where sensitive training data, research data, and proprietary intellectual property must be governed consistently across distributed infrastructure.

Protect Data Without Creating New Silos

Hammerspace unifies storage resources into a single data platform where protection policies follow the data, not the infrastructure.

With Hammerspace data storage, organizations can:

  • Protect file and object data across heterogeneous storage environments.
  • Define protection objectives once and enforce them everywhere.
  • Combine snapshots, versioning, and replication for layered protection.
  • Apply governance, protection, and sovereignty policies consistently across sites and clouds.
  • Protect data across AI, HPC, and enterprise environments.
  • Leverage existing storage investments while modernizing infrastructure.
