Scratch & Simulation
Deliver extreme performance to your compute clusters without the complexity of proprietary clients or tightly coupled hardware.
A Flexible Alternative to Legacy Scratch
Hammerspace is designed be the scratch space or to complement existing scratch storage solutions.
Global Namespace Coexistence
For the largest, most specialized scratch spaces, Hammerspace can coexist with established parallel file systems while providing global namespace, data mobility, and multi-protocol access for the rest of the environment.
Simplify Deployment & Operations
Hammerspace can serve as your primary scratch space, dramatically reducing the administrative burden and operational overhead typical of legacy HPC storage.
Key Advantages Over Traditional HPC Scratch
1. Standards-Based Performance with pNFS
Eliminate the “client tax” associated with traditional parallel file systems.
- No Proprietary Client Installs: Hammerspace utilizes NFSv4.2 (pNFS). If your compute nodes run Linux, the client software is already there.
- Instant Scaling: Because there are no specialized drivers to manage, you can scale your compute cluster and connect to scratch storage instantly.
2. Hardware Agnostic & Flexible Deployment
Break free from vendor lock-in and rigid infrastructure requirements.
- Heterogeneous Storage Support: Use your existing network infrastructure and diverse storage pools instead of being forced into proprietary hardware and network stacks.
- Flexible Architecture: Deploy on the hardware that best fits your budget and performance requirements, ensuring your scratch tier grows with your needs—not the constraints of a vendor roadmap.
