Unify Your Data Estate and Simplify Your AI Journey
Hammerspace unifies file and object data into a single global namespace, providing centralized control of all your unstructured data. By automating data placement and orchestration, it ensures users and applications always have the right data at the right time, in the right location, without disruption.
From Scattered Data to Strategic Advantage
The rise of AI has transformed the use, sharing, management and storage of unstructured data in a world where data is increasingly fragmented across silos, sites, and clouds.
The challenge is how to unify access and control of your data to satisfy existing business needs while also accommodating the performance requirements of AI without costly migrations or disruptive rip-and-replace upgrades.
That’s exactly what the Hammerspace Data Platform delivers. It unifies access and control of your data across any storage type in any data center or cloud, anywhere, while giving you the agility to extend existing infrastructure to support new AI workloads.

Unify Your Data, Not Your Storage
Eliminate the barriers between data silos. Hammerspace provides a single unified data platform that spans on-premises and cloud resources, giving users and applications a single, secure way to see and access data across incompatible storage types, clouds, or across multiple sites.
Global Namespace
Multi-protocol Support
POSIX-compliant access with pNFS, NFS, SMB, and S3—with no proprietary clients or agents.
Unify On-Prem & Cloud
Create a single, global namespace that spans edge, core, and cloud storage.
Data-in-Place Access
Give multiple applications and users unified access to a single data set without costly migrations or data copy proliferation.
Automated Data Services, Driven by Business Needs
Hammerspace uses the power of metadata to give you centralized, automated control of your digital assets no matter where they’re stored. Apply simple business rules once, and the system enforces them everywhere, ensuring consistent governance, protection, and workflow automation across all storage types and locations.
Objectives-Based Policies
Turn business requirements into automated Service-Level Objectives (SLOs) that continuously align data with rules for performance, cost, and tiering.
Data Services
Apply enterprise-class data services for data protection, placement, and workflow automation across distributed storage silos.
Actionable Metadata
Enrich your data with custom metadata to automatically trigger actions for placement, tiering, protection, and analysis.
Accelerate Workflows with Data Orchestration
The Hammerspace Orchestration engines are continually working in the background across all storage types and locations to ensure that your data is in alignment with your SLOs. For administrators, this means global visibility and control. For users and applications, it means uninterrupted access: files and objects remain available, even as data is moved between storage tiers, sites, or clouds.
Tiering, migration, or orchestrating workloads to on-premises or cloud based GPUs for high-performance workloads is automated without vendor lock-in or disruptive migrations of traditional data management point solutions.

Live Data Mobility
Hammerspace moves data behind the scenes, even while it is in use, with no disruption to users.
Accelerating Workflows
Stage data to the right compute resources triggered by job schedulers, custom metadata cues, or policy-based Objectives.
No more migrations
Create a seamless fabric across any storage type, ensuring that tech refresh or infrastructure changes are non-disruptive.
Freedom to Use Any Storage, Without Lock-In
Your storage strategy should drive your architecture—not be limited by it. Traditional systems create silos and lock-in with proprietary file systems, agents, or special networks.
Hammerspace eliminates those barriers with open standards. You get complete freedom to use any storage—from existing on-premises or cloud providers to high-performance architectures for the most demanding workloads—without restrictions or lock-in.
