Hammerspace unveiled the first Global Data Environment that breaks down the
boundaries of data access for users and applications anywhere in the
world to create, process, store, and protect data on any existing data
center or preferred cloud infrastructure. Organizations have struggled
for decades with the challenge of using file data outside the data
center where it was created. This limitation is holding back the speed
of research, innovation, and growth of data-driven businesses.
Introducing the Global Data Environment
Hammerspace
recognized that data is significantly less valuable when it is isolated
in different silos and trapped in various locations. The Hammerspace
Global Data Environment provides the world's first and only solution to
connect global users and applications with their data on any existing
data center infrastructure or preferred public cloud service.
"The
world needs a revolutionary approach to data access. Hammerspace is
committed to changing the paradigm of data storage. We break data free
from the constraints of the storage system and liberate IT teams from
endless manual data management tasks," said David Flynn, Hammerspace
founder and CEO. "The Global Data Environment enables all data to
automatically be accessed from infrastructure local to the user for
maximum performance."
Any
Datacenter, Any Cloud, Any Region, Anywhere. Hammerspace enables
organizations to easily store, protect and operate on data by moving it
to the best location to access compute resources, take advantage of the
lowest cost infrastructure and make files locally available to their
distributed workforces across the globe. The company's data
orchestration is the only solution that can support any storage type and
vendor as a single pool, storing data on existing storage systems,
buckets in the cloud, across different regions and multiple cloud
services. Furthermore, tiering, moving and replicating data across these
sites and systems is completely transparent to users and applications.
Applications Anywhere. Applications
that require persistent data are weighed down by legacy storage systems
and services. Hammerspace Universal Data Access and Orchestration
layers make applications boundless by making their associated data
available across all remote locations, ensuring locality for performance
to both on-premises data centers and the public cloud.
Users
Anywhere. People are increasingly working from all parts of the world.
Organizations seek to grow their talent pools with access to team
members no matter where they reside. The Hammerspace Global Data
Environment automates and optimizes data movement and eliminates the
need to replicate a full copy of the data at each site, enabling the
enterprise to work more efficiently and cost-effectively. Rich file
services, such as file-level versioning, allow geographically dispersed
teams to work on the same data safely.
