Hammerspace and Cloudian

Combine Parallel File System Performance and Exabyte-Scale Object Storage in a Global Namespace that Spans Sites, Clouds, and Storage

Read the Solution Brief

Consolidate, Manage, and Protect Massive Unstructured Data Sets

Unstructured data is 90% of all data being generated today, and it is growing rapidly. It is massive in scale, is difficult to manage across its lifecycle which often spans edge, core, and cloud environments, and difficult to protect. Hammerspace and Cloudian offer a solution that combines the parallel file system performance and data orchestration of Hammerspace, with the Exabyte-scale and robust data protection of the Cloudian HyperStore object storage platform.

The combined solution helps to manage the relentless growth of unstructured data and unlock value in that data to drive digital transformation and enterprise AI initiatives.

Seamlessly Orchestrate Data Between Tier 0, Tier 1, and Object Storage

Hammerspace’s unique parallel file system architecture – Hyperscale NAS – was designed for large-scale GPU computing. It delivers HPC performance for low-latency and high-throughput applications like AI training using standard NFS connectivity. No proprietary client software. No exotic networking required. No dependencies on proprietary storage hardware. 

Hammerspace can utilize storage from any NFS storage server and make those volumes part of the Hammerspace data platform. Likewise, buckets from object storage systems like Cloudian can be accessed through Hammerspace, so any data stored on Cloudian HyperStore systems can be served to users, applications and compute clusters using NFS, SMB, S3, and NVIDIA GPUDirect.

Hammerspace data orchestration policies automate the movement of data between any tier of storage within the Hammerspace global namespace, which can span tiers of storage including object storage, and also spans sites, hybrid-cloud, and multi-cloud environments. 

Cloudian Delivers Exabyte-Scale, Secure, S3-Compatible Object Storage

The Cloudian HyperStore AI Data Lake provides enterprise-grade S3-compatible object storage, with on-prem data sovereignty and military-grade security features including ransomware defense with S3 Object Lock data immutability. Its limitlessly scalable, modular architecture supports diverse use cases from AI/ML training and inference workflows to real-time data analytics, data backup and regulatory compliance. 

Proven in demanding environments, HyperStore delivers seamless multi-site distribution and non-disruptive expansion, allowing you to manage limitless capacity as a single unified system. 

With comprehensive security certifications and the highest S3 API compatibility, HyperStore enables secure processing of massive unstructured datasets with automated data lifecycle management and protection.

About Hammerspace

Hammerspace is radically changing how unstructured data is used and preserved. Our Global Data Platform unifies unstructured data across edge, data centers, and clouds.
