Hyperscale NAS Architecture
Combine HPC performance with standards-based NAS simplicity to accelerate data pipelines and maximize GPU resource utilization.
What is Hyperscale Nas?
A New Storage Architecture for AI, HPC, and GPU Computing
Traditional storage options don’t meet the needs of enterprise AI and GPU computing. Scale-out NAS systems can not meet the performance or scale requirements, while legacy HPC parallel file systems are too complex and lack enterprise features.
Hyperscale NAS is a new NAS architecture – a standards-based parallel file system architecture – that combines the performance and scale of HPC file systems with the simplicity of enterprise NAS, so you can meet the extreme performance requirements of GPU computing while reducing costs and complexity.

Scale Performance Linearly to Thousands of Nodes Using Standards-Based NFS Connectivity
Like other parallel file systems, Hyperscale NAS delivers high-throughput, low-latency performance to compute clients, and that performance scales linearly to thousands of nodes.
Visit the Parallel NFS Resource CenterBut unlike other legacy parallel file systems that rely on complex proprietary clients to establish that performance, Hyperscale NAS uses capabilities built into the NFSv4.2 client that are now part of every modern Linux OS. These capabilities, specifically the use of Parallel NFS with Flex Files, were engineered by Hammerspace and contributed to the Linux specification years ago to create an intelligent parallel file system client built right into Linux.
Turn Stranded Local GPU Server Storage into a New Tier 0 of Ultra-Fast Shared Storage
Maximize GPU/CPU Resource Utilization
Deliver high-throughput, low-latency performance to keep large GPU and CPU clusters utilized and minimize idle time.
Reduce Infrastructure Costs and Complexity
Reduce server and networking costs by up to 2x, while increasing performance with an efficient direct data path architecture.
Standards Based
No proprietary client, no exotic networking technology, and no special storage technology required.
Enterprise Reliability, Availability, Serviceability (RAS)
Configure clusters for maximum reliability, availability, and fault tolerance. Policy-based data protection is efficient and automated.
