Hammerspace March Newsletter
Hammerspace
A High Performance, Global Data Environment connecting data with users and applications, anywhere, anytime.
Welcome to the March 2023 edition of the Hammerspace Newsletter!
We focus this month on how organizations can overcome the complexity and costs of siloed on-prem and cloud infrastructures via unstructured data orchestration. As a powerful, data-centric solution, Hammerspace software enables enterprises from more than a dozen industries to unify global file access and automate unstructured data orchestration across storage from any vendor at the edge, in data centers, and the cloud.
Hammerspace software overcomes the limitations of fragmented on-prem and cloud data environments:
Randy Kerns of The Evaluator Group attended a recent press event with Hammerspace, noting:?
“During the Hammerspace presentation…Presley said their category is Data Orchestration, which changes the discussion with customers, moving it away from devices to the data and how it is accessed. ‘Data centers are no longer at the center of data’ was the statement Presley used to illustrate that a change in thinking is required.?
“This is attacking the infrastructure as the defining element for Information Technology convention, which creates data silos and must instead move to considering how and where data is accessed.”
Read more about our approach to data orchestration for unstructured data and the problems that Hammerspace solves with our latest white paper, “Simplifying Data Automation,” and this five-minute video.?

Unify Data Silos & Automated, Non-Disruptive Data Migration – This webinar covers how to use Hammerspace to unify data across different vendor storage silos that may reside in the data center or in the cloud. Find out how to put data in motion to make data available when, and where needed, without user downtime or application reconfiguration.
Automating Data Management Across Storage Silos – In this session, viewers will learn how to demystify data management and data movement automation across siloed multi-vendor storage environments across different data center storage and diverse cloud services and regions. Find out how multiple metadata types can now be used to activate plain-language business rules to simplify the automation of data management and protection services across any vendor’s storage from edge, to data center, to cloud.

Listen to the Data Unchained podcast with Renzoni and former CTO of the CIA, Bob Flores, as they unpack just what data protection and global movement of data has looked like in the Federal space, its evolution, and what the next steps could be.?
In awards-related news, CRN recognized Hammerspace as a Cloud 100 Company for 2023, and included us in their listing of the “20 Coolest Cloud Storage Companies.”
Hammerspace’s momentum continues with some great editorial coverage in many of the leading storage and technology publications:
Read the first in a series of technical blog posts, which introduces the various concepts and aspects of Hammerspace Objectives. Also covered is basic structure and syntax. The intent of this initial blog post is to familiarize those who may be new to Hammerspace Objectives and deepen the knowledge and awareness to readers who may already be working with Objectives. Future blogs will present cookbook recipes designed to address specific use cases and business challenges.
Additional technical resources include Adding Wasabi Storage to Hammerspace and Leveraging Storj Distributed Cloud with Hammerspace Global File System, which illustrate how to move existing data from on-premises storage to Wasabi Cloud and Storj Cloud.
There is a new data sheet for High Performance Computing, as well as a new white paper, “Simplifying Data Automation.”
