Hammerspace

Hammerspace provides a data orchestration software platform that enables organizations to access, manage, and move enterprise file data across multiple storage environments through a single interface. The platform's Global Data Environment allows companies to manage data across on-premises systems, data centers, and public clouds including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Seagate Lyve Cloud. Its core technology decouples data from infrastructure using a global file system that reduces the need to create multiple copies of data, allowing applications to retrieve original files from their source location. As of February 2024, the company manages over 100 petabytes of data for a single customer deployment and has experienced 650% year-over-year growth in capacity under management. In May 2023, Hammerspace acquired Rozo Systems, incorporating their patented Mojette Transform erasure coding technology which enables performance delivery of 1Tb/s+ using eight commodity servers on a 200Gb/E network. The platform offers features like data compression, deduplication, encryption, and access controls while enabling automated data movement without disrupting user access.

Key customers and partnerships

The company's customer base includes Blue Origin, which uses Hammerspace across five facilities and cloud infrastructure for industrial design, manufacturing, and marketing data sharing. Other notable customers include the National Science Foundation, Royal Caribbean Group, Jellyfish Pictures (which uses the platform for visual effects work on Star Wars movies and Stranger Things), and hyperscale Large Language Model environments. In the case of Jellyfish Pictures, the company partnered with Microsoft Azure to orchestrate content to its globally distributed workforce through on-premises Anvil metadata servers with data services nodes containing high-speed NVMe SSDs connected to Hammerspace instances across multiple Azure regions.
