Data Breakthrough honors Hammerspace's revolutionary Global Data Platform for its ability to deliver high-performance data access, unite data silos and improve operational efficiency for AI workloads.
SAN MATEO, Calif., April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hammerspace, the high-performance data company, today announced that it has been awarded the "Data Storage Innovation of the Year" award in the 6th annual Data Breakthrough Awards program for the second consecutive year. The program is conducted by Data Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes today's top companies, technologies and products in the global data technology market.
Hammerspace's data-centric architecture is fundamentally different from other solutions in the market, delivering the highest performance shared storage in the industry with its Tier 0 offering while helping to eliminate data silos and making data an instantly accessible resource for compute clusters, applications, and users, no matter where they are located.
Breakthrough features of its Global Data Platform include its Hyperscale NAS storage architecture that combines its high-performance parallel file system with the standards-based pNFS client. This approach enables enterprises, governments and research institutes to simplify and accelerate data architectures. No proprietary client software is needed on servers, no modifications of applications to work with proprietary parallel file system interfaces and no specialized infrastructure or networking is required.
"To truly unlock the power of GPU computing, we had to throw out legacy storage assumptions and build something fundamentally different. Hammerspace has manically hunted down every unnecessary hop in the data path—every bottleneck, every layer of latency—to deliver data at the speed GPUs demand," said Molly Presley, Hammerspace SVP of Global Marketing. "With our Tier 0 innovation and our deep work in the Linux kernel to enable true LOCAL IO, we've shattered conventional architecture to make high-performance, low-latency data access the new standard."
The annual Data Breakthrough Awards is the premier awards program founded to recognize data technology innovators, leaders and visionaries from around the world in a range of categories, including DataOps, Data Analytics, AI, Business Intelligence, Data Privacy, Data Storage and many more. The 6th annual Data Breakthrough Award program attracted thousands of nominations from across the globe.
"Hammerspace's Global Data Platform is invaluable for AI workloads, uniting fragmented data silos and leading to significant improvement in operational efficiency. AI has transformed the management and storage of unstructured data, resulting in organizations needing longer access to distributed and fragmented datasets," said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, Data Breakthrough. "Hammerspace is not just another point solution that scatters file copies, symlinks and stubs across silos. This revolutionary platform creates a unified global file system where all users/applications are accessing/managing the same datasets. We're awarding Hammerspace with 'Data Storage Innovation of the Year!'"
