Hammerspace announced it is teaming with Arrow Electronics to
offer a series of appliances to simplify designing and purchasing the
Hammerspace Global Data Platform software.
These appliances provide the power of a
software-defined parallel global file system, coupled with automated data
orchestration and a global namespace, delivered with the convenience of an
appliance. Multiple configurations are available to address a wide range of
performance and capacity needs, including the extremely low latency, high
throughput, and high capacity needed for enterprise AI, HPC and deep learning
workloads.
The Hammerspace Global Data Platform software is available to buy and deploy
as subscription software using servers and storage from any vendor, on leading
cloud platforms, and now as a series of appliances.
Arrow
Electronics, a leader in configuration, integration and delivery via its
intelligent solutions offering, will be pivotal in bringing this complete
solution to market. Through Arrow,
resellers or end users can easily order pre-configured bundles based on
the most common deployment scenarios, such as size, number of locations and
performance requirements.
Benefits
of the Hammerspace Appliances

"Organizations
today need streamlined data strategies that empower their analytics teams to
pursue AI, data analytics and deep learning, all while ensuring robust data
availability and security," said Molly Presley, SVP of Global Marketing at
Hammerspace. "Achieving this balance requires the high performance of parallel
file systems for GPU-intensive compute workflows, the enterprise-grade features
of NAS to meet industry standards, and the unifying power of a global namespace
to seamlessly integrate data across locations. Our new series of appliances
marks a critical leap forward in accelerating the deployment of our Global Data
Platform software, delivering the capabilities our customers need to stay
ahead."
