Hammerspace and PoINT Software in Partnership for S3-to-Tape in Global Data Environment

With their strategic partnership, PoINT Software & Systems GmbH and Hammerspace, Inc. present a solution for the integration of tape in a standardized, global data environment.

Users benefit from the advantages of tape-based object storage in the context of cross-site data orchestration.

The 2 firms address the challenges companies face in the area of data and storage management: Increasingly heterogeneous storage infrastructures require centralized data management to prevent the creation of data silos and enable comprehensive and seamless access. At the same time, organizations need cost-effective and scalable storage solutions for growing data volumes and long-term storage.

The established S3-to-tape solution PoINT Archival Gateway now enables the integration of tape into the Hammerspace Global Data Environment. Users thus benefit from the scalability and the security and efficiency advantages of storage on tape as part of a global, standardized data environment.

“Hammerspace is excited about the partnership with PoINT Software to enable organizations to incorporate tape as part of their Global Data Environment,” said Molly Presley, SVP, global marketing, Hammerspace. “This advancement is a massive step forward in putting all data to work in a single active global file system, delivering performance, access and collaboration to AI models, applications and users anywhere, using data, everywhere.”

The joint solution targets users from all industries that are particularly affected by the unabated data growth. With the 2 partners, customers from the HPC sector, from M&E, research and ML/AI can increase the cyber security and cost and environmental efficiency of their storage. At the same time, all data remains globally accessible across silos and storage locations.
