As AI and HPC workloads continue to push the limits of storage infrastructure, organizations need a solution that delivers exceptional performance, scalability, and reliability without breaking the bank. That’s why Hammerspace and ScaleFlux have partnered to offer a certified high-performance storage solution that improves flash performance, capacity efficiency, and endurance.
A Smarter Approach to AI and HPC Data Storage
Modern AI training and inference demand high-throughput, low-latency storage at scale. The challenge? Most storage architectures struggle to keep up, leading to bottlenecks that slow down innovation.
Hammerspace is a software-defined file and object data platform built for hybrid and multi-cloud AI/HPC environments. It seamlessly orchestrates data across storage systems, sites, and clouds, ensuring that data is always in the right place at the right time. Paired with ScaleFlux NVMe SSDs—featuring unique System-on-Chip (SoC) controllers—this solution delivers sustained, linearly scalable performance with enhanced storage efficiency.
Breaking Performance Barriers
By integrating ScaleFlux CSD 5000 SSDs into Hammerspace metadata and data servers, we’ve set new records in AI/ML performance. In the MLCommons MLPerf Storage Benchmark, our combined solution exceeded results from other leading HPC file systems—demonstrating the power of optimized flash storage for AI workloads.
Key benefits include:
- Unmatched System and Application Performance – The efficiency of Hammerspace’s parallel architecture, combined with ScaleFlux NVMe SSDs, delivers sustained high-throughput with low-latency performance.
- Faster Queries and Transactions – Optimized for mixed read/write workloads, this solution ensures rapid data access and processing, enabling AI models to be trained and deployed faster.
- Less Wasted Capacity, Lower Costs – Hammerspace reduces infrastructure requirements by 2x compared to traditional scale-out NAS, while ScaleFlux SSDs enhance capacity utilization and endurance.
- Seamless Data Orchestration – Hammerspace automates data movement across hybrid- and multi-cloud environments, eliminating storage silos and ensuring that AI applications can access data when and where they need it.
Optimized Flash Storage for AI/HPC Workloads
ScaleFlux SSDs take NVMe storage to the next level, combining industry-standard form factors with advanced write-reduction and metadata management technologies. This results in improved performance, extended endurance, and better capacity per dollar—making it the ideal storage choice for demanding AI and HPC applications.
By combining the strengths of Hammerspace and ScaleFlux, organizations can achieve high-performance, scalable storage that accelerates AI workflows, maximizes infrastructure efficiency, and reduces operational costs.
