Hammerspace

aid: hammerspace
name: Hammerspace
description: Hammerspace, Inc. is a Redwood City, California software company behind the Hammerspace Global Data Platform
  (formerly the Global Data Environment), a parallel file system and software-defined data platform that unifies unstructured
  data across on-premises storage, edge sites, and AWS, Azure and Google Cloud into a single global namespace. Data is reached
  through standard protocols — NFS, pNFS v4.2 with Flex Files, SMB, S3, and CSI for Kubernetes — while placement, replication,
  tiering, snapshots and retention are driven by declarative objectives rather than by manual data movement. The platform
  is administered through a GUI, an admin CLI, the open source hstk Python toolkit, Ansible and Terraform automation, and
  the Anvil metadata server REST API at /mgmt/v1.2/rest. The 2026 AI Data Platform release adds Tier-0 NVMe pooling on GPU
  servers, Milvus vector search, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes enterprise data to AI agents and RAG
  pipelines.

  name: Hammerspace Anvil Management API
  description: The management REST API served by the Hammerspace Anvil metadata server at the base path /mgmt/v1.2/rest. It
    is the programmatic control plane behind the Hammerspace GUI and admin CLI, covering shares, files, objectives, storage
    volumes, object-storage volumes, volume groups, data portals, nodes, sites, snapshots, snapshot retentions, share replications,
    schedules, tasks, licenses, Active Directory and identity provider configuration, antivirus, backup, NTP, syslog and proxy
    settings. It is served by each customer deployment rather than from a Hammerspace-hosted public endpoint, so the host
    is the customer's own Anvil. Hammerspace does not publish an OpenAPI description of it on a public URL; the operations
    recorded here were observed in Hammerspace's own Apache-2.0 licensed open source clients (the Kubernetes CSI driver and
    the Ansible operations playbooks).
