Hammerspace for Media and Entertainment
Siloed Data and Legacy Infrastructure Are Slowing Creative Production
Yet most media pipelines are still built on legacy storage silos and manual data copying that make it difficult to share large media files between distributed creative teams, and deliver the performance for real-time playback, rendering, and transcoding.
These data challenges not only delay project timelines but also limit creative flexibility and profitability.
“Having to actively manage files is just something we don’t have to do anymore.”
– Craig Cesareo, CTO, Psyop
Unify Data from Distributed Studios, Storage Systems, and Cloud Vendors Into a Single Global Namespace
“We had our first Hammerspace cluster up and running in Los Angeles in about four hours and were doing local read/write speed tests. By day two, we had joined clusters in Los Angeles and New York and had effectively demonstrated a multi-site single namespace in less than two days.”
-John Kleber, CTO, BUCK
Hammerspace Enables
Global Collaboration at Scale
Sustained, High-bandwidth Data Access and Ultra-low Latency
Hybrid and Multi-cloud Agility
Metadata-Driven Workflows
Common Use Cases
Distributed Media Production & Post-Production
Enable global collaboration across studios and remote teams. Hammerspace provides a global namespace that makes shared content instantly accessible anywhere, eliminating manual file transfers, which accelerates production workflows
Cloud Rendering & Burst Compute
Extend on-premises workloads to any cloud on demand, without large file migrations. Burst render jobs are orchestrated transparently behind the scenes, without interruption to artists or adding complexity to IT staff.. Assets automatically move or stream to where compute is available, reducing render time and cloud compute costs
VFX, Animation & AI-Assisted Creation
Deliver high-throughput, low-latency performance for rendering, compositing, and AI-driven content creation. Scale performance linearly to handle massive datasets and future-proof architecture for AI
Content Distribution & Archiving
Automate data movement from active production to delivery and archive. Hammerspace orchestrates content placement across performance and capacity tiers to manage storage costs across the entire media workflow without the complexity and disruption that traditional migration or file-copy methods require
