As part of the IT Press Tour in Silicon Valley, I had the opportunity to sit down with David Flynn, CEO of Hammerspace, to explore how the company is redefining the future of enterprise data storage. At a time when AI-driven workloads and hybrid cloud computing are pushing storage demands to new heights, Hammerspace is stepping in with a fresh approach. Their Global Data Platform is designed to eliminate data silos, providing seamless access and orchestration for unstructured data across edge locations, data centers, and cloud environments. Hammerspace is experiencing a breakout year, with tenfold revenue growth driven by the surging demand for AI storage solutions and hybrid cloud infrastructure. The conversation delves into how the company is enabling enterprises to move beyond traditional storage limitations. David explains the critical role of Parallel Network File System, or pNFS, in delivering high-performance storage solutions. We also discuss why it's gaining traction as organizations seek ways to process massive amounts of data with greater efficiency. Together, we explore the state of pNFS adoption, how Hammerspace is driving its evolution, and why it is a key pillar of its platform strategy. Another important aspect of the discussion is the difference between global namespaces and true data orchestration. While global namespaces have gained attention in enterprise storage, David explains why simply having a global namespace is not enough. Orchestration is the missing piece that allows data to be moved, accessed, and utilized efficiently across distributed environments. By combining orchestration with a truly global namespace, Hammerspace is making data instantly accessible to users, applications, and compute clusters, no matter where they are located. As AI workloads become increasingly complex, the need for a new approach to data management is clear. Enterprises require storage solutions that can keep up with the demands of high-speed analytics, GPU-driven AI, and hybrid cloud strategies. Hammerspace is positioning itself as a leader in this space, offering a way to bridge the gap between traditional storage architectures and the needs of modern enterprises. The company's rapid growth is also reflected in its recent leadership expansion. With a new Chief Revenue Officer joining the team and Hammerspace earning recognition as Product of the Year in TechTarget's Storage Awards, the company is making significant strides in shaping the future of enterprise data storage. With so much change happening in data infrastructure, what does the future hold for AI storage and enterprise data management? Will solutions like Hammerspace become the new industry standard for high-performance storage and orchestration? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Reach out and share your perspective, and stay tuned for more insights from the front lines of technology.

AI training is a uniquely data-hungry application, and it requires a special data pipeline to keep expensive GPUs fed. This episode of Utilizing Tech focuses on the data platform for machine learning, featuring Molly Pressley of Hammerspace along with Frederic Van Haren and Stephen Foskett. Nothing is worse than idle hardware, especially when it comes to expensive GPUs intended for ML training. Performance is important, but parallel access and access to multiple systems is just as important. Building an AI training environment requires identifying and eliminating bottlenecks at every layer, but many systems are simply not capable of scaling to the extent required by the largest GPU clusters. But a data pipeline goes way beyond storage: Training requires checkpoints, metadata, and access to different data points. And different models have unique requirements as well. Ultimately, AI applications require a flexible data pipeline not just high-performance storage.

Hammerspace offers a global filesystem that creates a single namespace across multiple storage systems and cloud storage providers. Hammerspace's name is inspired by the name for the magical place that cartoon characters get them from (e.g. Bugs Bunny pulling a huge hammer out of his pocket). They've taken a different approach to a global filesystem, using metadata to significantly minimize actual data movement and increase performance. Molly Presley, their SVP of Marketing (and friend of the pod!), explains the interesting use cases for this technology.

Join me for an interview with Anand Ganesh, Founding Software Architect at Hammerspace, to discuss how storageless data solves traditional B2B storage security problems. What is storageless data? How does Hammerspace encrypt data at rest? How do disaster recovery, backup, and snapshot data protection mechanisms work in Hammerspace? Why does data-as-a-service eliminate the need for fail-overs (passive-to-active transitions)? How do permissions work? How does intelligent data classification work in Hammerspace? How does Hammerspace help a customer recover from a ransomware attack? Do we have to trust our storage vendors such as AWS, Google, Azure, or even on-prem data centers? How do you securely delete data in a globally distributed system, like Hammerspace?
Data is everywhere and part of every strategic business conversation how do we use it better? How do get more value from it? How do we truly make it a business asset? The answers to those questions are driving a whole new way of thinking in the way we deliver IT services to a business. New workflows, new development architectures and exploiting technology shifts to try to break the shackles that traditional infrastructure often enforces on how we can use data to meet our business needs. This has led to a steady evolution, virtualisation, cloud and architectures such as serverless which allows us to run our code and services independent of any underlying platform. What if we could achieve that same flexibility for our data? If your business could use its data without restriction what would that allow you to do? That was the thesis of a blog post that I read recently from David Flynn the CEO of my guest Doug Fallstrom’s company Hammerspace and is the topic for this weeks show. Join us as we discuss. • Why we need to be data-centric. • Getting additional value from our data. • Users don’t care where the data is and why should they? • Talk to the non-storage people in your business to know how they use data. • Tips for shifting to a data focussed approach. • The Hammerspace Tech. • The power of the “as a service” model.

Transformation for Innovation with Deal Daly: Technical leaders part in the Innovation Game As a tech leader, how do you transform your organization for innovation? And why you need to be involved in the first place? Deal Daly, Field CTO at Hammerspace (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hammerspace/), joined us for an enlightening conversation on the subject. With many years in mergers and acquisitions, looking at technology from the outside-in. His journey gradually led him to lead infrastructure groups. For this reason, Deal has a very interesting perspective. He's a business person with an acquired technology angle. Now looking from the inside-out, he shares his learning and insights. Key takeaways from the Podcast are: • Why must technology leaders become partners in enabling the entire business, not just in the capabilities of a product? • How tapping into the inherent curiosity of technical people can drive team performance and innovation. • Using the multiplier effort to drive and spread innovating behaviors.

In this episode, returning guest Douglas Fallstrom from Hammerspace takes Chris and Martin through the details of the Hammerspace global file system platform. The solution is software-defined, running either on virtual machines or in the public cloud. Customers can choose to leave data on existing hardware platforms and simply abstract the data into the Hammerspace […] The post #156 – Introduction to Hammerspace (sponsored) appeared first on Storage Unpacked Podcast.
This week, Chris and Martin are joined by Douglas Fallstrom, SVP Product & Operations at Hammerspace, as the conversation on global file systems continues. Hammerspace has developed a global file system platform that caters for geographic data dispersion and sits above traditional storage. In this podcast episode, Douglas explains some of the challenges of stretching […] The post #152 – Global File System Concepts appeared first on Storage Unpacked Podcast.
Back in February, I saw a presentation from Hammerspace, a startup company in the field of data management. Their proposition was based on dealing with one of IT’s most challenging problems, that of successfully sharing data across multiple locations, be that datacentres, branch offices or cloud repositories. What appealed to me with their approach was how they not only thought of a new way of addressing the problem but also redefined how the problem should be looked at. On this week’s show, I’m joined by Hammerspace’s CEO, David Flynn, to explore their approach in more detail and get an update on how their solution has developed. David has a long and distinguished background in IT including been behind Fusion IO. During the show we discuss: * The importance of a datacentric view to solving the problem * How containers show the way to solving complex data management problems * How metadata drives their solution * How it works * Don't solve the data silo problem with another data silo! There are a couple of really interesting things about what Hammerspace is doing, both their technological approach and importantly their efforts to shift thinking to one that takes a more data focussed view. Will their technology be the right solution for everyone? Probably not, but their idea that your decisions around your data platform need to be datacentric and based on stated goals for the data, that really should be the case for everyone. It will be interesting to see how Hammerspace continues to evolve and progress. Thanks for listening. Full show notes are here: https://wp.me/p4IvtA-1GS
HammerSpace announced the ability to provide a global namespace for persistent storage in Kubernetes environments. HammerSpace has tackled this issue with what they are calling data-as-a-microservice. This is not a new type of K8s specific storage, which HammerSpace thinks is about the last thing the Kubernetes world needs. More importantly, HammerSpace is trying to answer the question, “How do we get storage to evolving workloads?” The post BiB 073: HammerSpace Data-as-a-Microservice For Kubernetes appeared first on Packet Pushers.

The simplest way to describe HammerSpace is that they are an abstraction layer between data and metadata. David Flynn, CEO described it like this. “We have introduced an abstraction which separates the data consumer side and the storage infrastructure side. And that’s really what’s necessary before we can manage data in the cloud.” The post BiB 060: Focus On Your Data & Not Where It’s Stored With HammerSpace appeared first on Packet Pushers.

This week on the ZI Podcast we talk about why Majora's Mask isn't your typical Zelda game, we discuss the possible ways to fix wall puzzles, and we discuss how hammerspace works into the Zelda franchise. With plenty of fan topics, this episode had a lot to say with a shorter than usual length. This week's cast is: your host as always, Adam, joined by Chris (Never stops talking about Ezlo), Caleb (the podcast's Quiet Contender), Sarah (our self-proclaimed fashion expert), and special guest TopSpinTheFuzzy (We call him Jeph/Jephers). Thank you to those of you who submitted fan topics this week, as well as theme song submissions. If you have any of your own work that you'd like us to feature, please send those to us at ZeldaInformerPodcast@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you all! This episode was a bit on the shorter side, due to Adam very very tired, so he (or I?) apologizes for that in advance. I hope you still enjoy this week's episode. Our guest for next week is Yacht Club Games (developers of Shovel Knight, for those of you who live under a rock), so we hope you look forward to that and send in some topics you'd like us to discuss with them! Also, please take our updated survey! also #LegendOfBear
