Key Benefits
Tape Visibility Without Migration
Hammerspace assimilates metadata from ScoutAM while data on tape stays in place. Files stored on tape become visible and accessible through the global namespace without migrating data or recalling files from tape, so large tape archives function as an extension of the active data environment. When archived files are accessed, ScoutAM restores them from tape and Hammerspace presents them through the global file system, transparently to users and applications.
Optimized Cost and Power
Inactive data is archived to tape, which costs a fraction of disk or cloud storage and consumes nearly zero power at rest. Hammerspace Data Orchestration policies identify cold data and move it to ScoutAM automatically, reducing both storage spend and energy consumption without sacrificing accessibility.
Performance for AI and HPC
Active data stays on high-performance storage, with parallel file system access over NFS, SMB, and S3. ScoutAM delivers high-performance parallel data transfer across multiple nodes simultaneously, so archive and recall operations keep pace with demanding pipelines, and archived datasets remain reachable for training and analysis when needed.
Long-Term Data Protection
ScoutAM provides policy-driven multi-copy archiving with durable, recoverable storage formats. Open-source data formats and industry-standard protocols across the entire stack eliminate vendor lock-in and keep data accessible for as long as it must be preserved.
