This is the second consecutive time that Hammerspace has been recognized by FMS. In 2023, it was awarded “Most Innovative Memory Technology” in the Storage Management Software category.

Hyperscale environments have strict performance and high availability requirements, plus they need to avoid vendor-lock by adhering strictly to open standards for software and having a choice of hardware platforms.

Hammerspace’s Global Data Platform addresses these requirements with a software-defined solution that is tightly integrated with standards-based features contained within Linux. Hammerspace provides the extreme performance needed for GPU-based, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) use cases, leveraging open standards, commodity infrastructure, and standard Ethernet.

“Many hyperscalers build their infrastructure around open standards and commodity hardware to facilitate integration with other hardware and software solutions,” said Jay Kramer, Chairman of the Awards Program and President of Network Storage Advisors Inc. “We are proud to recognize Hammerspace as a standards-based software-defined storage and data orchestration storage management software solution.”
