The Hammerspace AI Data Platform
Based on the NVIDIA Al Data Platform reference design, Hammerspace’s AIDP solution is a turnkey approach to solving the challenge of fragmented Enterprise data. Customers can quickly go from untamed chaos to a unified Al-ready data source, without deploying an expensive net-new storage system, undergoing large data migrations, or having to manage 15 or more disconnected tools.
Leveraging NVIDIA’s RTX Pro 6000 GPUs, accelerated networking, and Al Enterprise software, Hammerspace’s AIDP solution is the fastest path to an automated Al data pipeline, delivering Al-ready data where it is needed, when it is needed for inference, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and Agentic workflows.
This powerful combination leverages the best of Al data pipeline automation from NVIDIA and Hammerspace, on optimized hardware to create a simple way for enterprises quickly access the value of their multi-modal unstructured data.
Make Existing Storage NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage
NVIDIA GPUDirect is a family of technologies that provides for more direct read/write access between NVIDIA data center GPUs and connected storage systems. NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage uses Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) to streamline the path between GPUs and storage.
Specific to Hammerspace, NVIDIA GPUDirect enables a direct path for data exchange between NVIDIA GPUs and Hammerspace to enable faster data access. And Hammerspace can make existing storage systems GPUDirect Storage, simply by making those storage systems part of a Hammerspace Global Data Platform.
There are three options to make storage GPUDirect Storage, including:
- Any RDMA-capable NAS storage
- Any block storage (typically NVMe flash) attached to a Hammerspace Data Services (DSX) node
- Any non-RDMA NAS storage fronted by a DSX node
