Simplifying Data Orchestration and Management

Unified data access: Hammerspace provides a global view of files across different storage systems, simplifying access for users and administrators. Users can access data using standard protocols without needing additional client software, which streamlines workflows.

Centralized metadata management: By assimilating metadata from existing storage, Hammerspace creates a unified control plane. This separation of metadata from the underlying infrastructure allows administrators to manage data without disrupting user access.

Objectives-based automation: Hammerspace uses objectives to automate data orchestration. Administrators can set objectives to control the most granular details of data placement and behavior, enabling the system to automatically manage data according to these rules.

Efficient data operations: Hammerspace streamlines various data operations through its GUI and CLI, including share management, objective management, storage and volume management, snapshots, and networking. For example, administrators can easily create, modify, and delete shares; apply objectives to manage data placement; and manage storage volumes and snapshots.
