Hammerspace March Newsletter
Hammerspace
A High Performance, Global Data Environment connecting data with users and applications, anywhere, anytime.
Welcome to the March 2024 edition of the Hammerspace Newsletter!?
This month is all about Hyperscale NAS, a new and fundamentally different NAS architecture to power GPU computing at scale and move AI innovation forward. Hyperscale NAS combines the performance and scale of HPC parallel file systems with enterprise NAS standards and features.?
Whereas previous NAS architectures were about scaling capacity, Hyperscale NAS is really about scaling performance and capacity – to feed GPU clusters, CPU clusters, and other use cases that require high speed parallel processing of data at scale.
Looking for a quick overview? Here’s a 3-minute video to learn more.?

Meta Engineering has released details on how they designed infrastructure, including their use of Hammerspace, for their LLM training for Llama 2 and Llama 3 as well as AI research and development across GenAI. Check out this Guest Blog Post from Meta's Kevin Lee, Adi Gangidi, and Mathew Oldham on their open source contributions and all the components in their infrastructure strategy. Read more at Blocks & Files: "Meta hooks up with Hammerspace for advanced AI infrastructure project" and Silicon Angle: "Meta unveils two new 24K GPU clusters it’s using to develop more advanced generative AI."
Check out our press release unveiling Hyperscale NAS, the fastest file system in the world for training enterprise AI models at scale. This new category of storage architecture removes storage bottlenecks and provides the high-performance data pipeline needed for GPU computing.
The Hyperscale NAS architecture is in production with systems built on approximately 1,000 storage nodes, feeding up to 30,000 GPUs at an aggregate performance of 80 Terabits/sec over standard ethernet and TCP/IP.??
Read our two-part blog series, "The Need for a New Storage Architecture: Hyperscale NAS” which explains the architecture and what makes it so unique and the advantage of Hyperscale NAS over traditional scale-out NAS architectures.
Hammerspace Hyperscale NAS is now available with NVIDIA GPUDirect storage support. What does this mean? The added support allows enterprise and public sector organizations to leverage Hammerspace software to unify unstructured data and accelerate data pipelines with NVIDIA’s Magnum IOTM GPUDirect? family of technologies, which enable a direct path for data exchange between NVIDIA GPUs and third-party storage for faster data access. By deploying Hammerspace in front of existing storage systems, any storage system can now be presented as GPUDirect Storage via Hammerspace.???
