Hammerspace, the company orchestrating the next data cycle, has partnered with Arrow Electronics to introduce a new range of appliances to simplify designing and purchasing the Hammerspace Global Data Platform software.

These appliances offer the capabilities of a software-defined, parallel global file system, combined with automated data orchestration and a global namespace, all in a convenient appliance form factor. Available in multiple configurations, they cater to diverse performance and capacity requirements, including the extremely low latency, high throughput, and large capacity, ideal for enterprise AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and deep learning workloads.

“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.”

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.
