Hammerspace in Partnership With Arrow Electronics

Hammerspace, Inc. is teaming with Arrow Electronics, Inc. to offer a series of appliances to simplify designing and purchasing its 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 low latency, high throughput, and high capacity needed for enterprise AI, HPC and deep learning workloads.

The Global Data Platform software is available to buy and deploy as subscription software using servers and storage from any vendor, on cloud platforms, and as a series of appliances.

Arrow Electronics, 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 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:

Faster time to deployment by simplifying the sizing and purchasing process
All configurations have been pre-selected for optimal price-performance or price-capacity
Simple to add additional performance or capacity without downtime in the future
Unify storage, data orchestration and data management across multiple locations into a single global data platform

“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, 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.“
