Primary Data

Primary Data was a software-defined storage and data-virtualization startup best known for its DataSphere platform, a metadata engine that abstracted files across heterogeneous storage tiers (flash, disk, cloud) behind a single global namespace and moved data automatically by policy. Backed by Battery Ventures among other investors, the company ceased operations in 2017, with much of its team and technology continuing at Hammerspace. It was surfaced as a Battery Ventures portfolio company and added to the API Evangelist network as a stub for enrichment. As of this pass the company is defunct and primarydata.com is a parked domain (GoDaddy lander), so there is no live developer portal, documentation, or API surface to harvest.

Primary Data is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Storage, Data Virtualization, Software-Defined Storage, and Data Management.
