20 © 2024 | www.HAMMERSPACE.com Hammerspace Global Data Platform Global Data Platform Parallel Global File System Scale linearly from a few nodes to thousands Extreme performance for mixed I/O Spans multiple locations: edge-core-cloud Automatically move data non- disruptively Standards-based enterprise NAS features and RAS Assimilate metadata from existing storage Software-defined and storage agnostic Harness metadata to unlock value Data Orchestration Automate data placement and management across silos, sites, and clouds Hyperscale NAS Parallel file system performance with NAS simplicity

21 © 2024 | www.HAMMERSPACE.com The Most Options for High-Performance Workloads Data Processing Data Consumption and Visualization Hammerspace Global Data Platform Spans Sites and Clouds Build Hyperscale NAS clusters with standard Linux servers or third-party storage Build high-performance, highly- resilient storage clusters on commodity hardware with Hammerspace erasure coding Support for third party storage: NAS, Block, Object, Cloud, Tape

22 © 2024 | www.HAMMERSPACE.com Migrate Data to Commodity Hardware Non-Disruptively 1 Import existing metadata into Hammerspace using Assimilation. Data stays in place, users can access files in minutes. 3 Decommission old storage, all without disrupting user access. Users now read/write data from/to the new storage. 2 Set an Objective to copy data from old storage to new storage Process happens in the background, concurrent with file access, and is transparent to users.

23 © 2024 | www.HAMMERSPACE.com About Hammerspace Erasure Coding • Implemented via a Hammerspace EC-Group • Based on Mojette Transform erasure code • Up to 2x faster than traditional EC schemes • Standards-based components and protocols • Software defined using x86 servers • HDD and/or flash storage Storage Servers (4+) with HDD and/or Flash NFS Metadata Metadata Parallel Inter-Node Communication Start with at least 4 nodes Scale UP by adding drives Scale OUT by adding nodes Expansions are non-disruptive Many architectures are possible

24 © 2024 | www.HAMMERSPACE.com • 2x Reed-Solomon EC performance • No performance penalty on failure • 4KB block size for low latency • Highly parallel operation • No single point of failure • Full node failure(s) supported • Up to ¼ of the drives may fail without data loss • Self healing (from drives to nodes) • Additional data integrity protection via CRC Erasure encoding is a key component of modern storage systems, but it can be slow. The Mojette Transform boosts performance instead of throttling it Performance Resilience About the Mojette Transform Erasure Code
