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.
