Hammerspace has partnered with Supermicro to deliver the Data Platform software as a series of appliances based on Supermicro server hardware.
Introduction
Hammerspace Data Platform software unifies unstructured data across sites, clouds, and any storage, provides extreme parallel performance for AI, GPUs, and high speed data analytics, and automates data placement non-disruptively with data orchestration.
Hammerspace has partnered with Supermicro to deliver Data Platform software as a series of appliances based on Supermicro server hardware. These appliances deliver the power of Hammerspace on pre- certified hardware that is optimized for price-performance, with the convenience and simplicity of an appliance purchasing model.
Appliance Types and Options
Hammerspace can be configured to address a broad range of performance and capacity needs, including
the extreme levels of performance required in AI and HPC workloads. Metadata and data servers are scaled independently using the server types shown below.
In addition to commodity servers, Hammerspace can also run on any of the leading NAS, Block, Object, and Cloud storage platforms.
| Server Types | Metadata Servers | Data Servers | |
| Description | Anvil Metadata Servers | Data Services (DSX) Nodes | Linux Storage Servers |
| Function | Runs Hammerspace Anvil metadata services | Used to scale out client access, scale performance, provide cross-platform data services, and provide multi- protocol access via NFSv3, SMB, and S3 protocols | Used to scale performance and capacity when clients access storage directly using the Parallel NFSv4.2 protocol, or scale capacity when building storage clusters based on commodity servers |
