Objectives & SLO Management

Declare what your data needs — placement, protection, retention — and Hammerspace enforces it continuously. Covers place-on vs. confine-to, conditions and Hammerscript, and four fully worked deployment scenarios you can copy.

Concepts How-to Examples

Assimilation & Data Migration

Bring existing NAS data into the global namespace with minimal downtime: metadata is ingested first, then objectives orchestrate the data wherever it should live — no forklift migration, no client changes.

Concepts Phases & planning Types

Availability & Durability

What number-of-nines protection really means: availability guards against temporary loss of access, durability against permanent loss — and availability zones keep file copies in independent failure domains.

Concepts Availability zones Nines objectives
