The Hammerspace Difference for High-Performance Computing

A standards-based parallel global file system that unifies your data across vendors, sites, and clouds, without proprietary lock-in.
Standards-Based Parallel File System

High-Performance Throughput Without Vendor Lock-in

Hammerspace delivers a standards-based parallel global file system built on NFSv4.2 and pNFS, not a proprietary client stack. This gives HPC environments:

  • Validated Performance

    Parallel I/O speeds competitive with traditional HPC file systems. Validated by public benchmarks such as IO500 and MLPerf for Storage.

  • Instant Compatibility

    Deploy immediately on any modern Linux distribution. No kernel patches. No special client software. Just standard, performant connectivity.

  • Future-Proof Design

    An open architecture that evolves with ongoing Linux NFS and pNFS innovations, protecting your investment from proprietary dead-ends.
Global Namespace

Unify Your Data Estate into a Single, Borderless View

Hammerspace provides a single global file system that eliminates physical and vendor boundaries.

  • Storage Without Boundaries

    Hammerspace collapses disparate storage vendors and hybrid cloud environments into a single, high-performance namespace with native protocol access.

    • Span multiple storage vendors and generations in a single data center

    • Extend across multiple data centers, campuses, and regions

    • Unify on-premises storage with cloud-based GPU clusters while preserving native NFS or S3 access

Multi-Protocol By Design

Bridge Disconnected Workflows with Native, Multi-Protocol Support

Hammerspace is multi-protocol at its core, ensuring seamless access for every team. NFS, SMB, S3, & CLI are treated as first-class connectors.

NFS

Optimized for HPC & Linux workflows

SMB

Seamless for Windows & mixed environments

Parallel S3

Fully featured for object workloads

The S3 Advantage

Because S3 is integrated directly into the global namespace, you can bridge NFS-based HPC workflows to cloud object storage instantly. Train AI in the cloud using on-prem datasets without extra copy steps or cache management.

  • No slow gateways

  • No creating separate silos

Policy Driven Data Orchestration

Automate Your Data Lifecycle with Intelligent, AI-Ready Metadata

Modern HPC and AI require meaningful metadata to drive automated actions. Hammerspace builds contextual, enriched metadata into the file system, enabling:

  • Custom Tags

    Describe experiments, datasets, projects, and compliance needs

  • Automated Inheritance

    Automated custom metadata inheritance eliminates human error

  • Intelligent Movement

    Adds intelligence to policy-driven data movement between Tier 0, scratch, project, and archive

  • Global Visibility

    Global visibility into what data exists and where, across all storage systems

The Hammerspace Advantage

Hammerspace builds contextual, enriched metadata into the file system, enabling: 

  • Automated placement, protection, & lifecycle management

  • AI-readiness from creation (no migration needed)

  • Consistent governance & security everywhere
