Hammerspace Leads Initiative to Combat Data Fragmentation Through New Working Group
Hammerspace, renowned for its high-performance data solutions, has announced its pivotal role as a founding member of the Single Namespace Working Group (SNS), aimed at addressing the critical issue of data fragmentation. This initiative, launched on December 8, 2025, seeks to create a unified intelligence layer for data access across diverse global environments.
The SNS, which includes 34 prestigious organizations such as NVIDIA, Google, and IBM, is spearheaded by Guardant Health. Its objective is to formulate the first open standard for exabyte-scale data access, essential for enhancing AI capabilities and accelerating scientific research. By establishing a scalable standard, the SNS aims to integrate globally distributed data into a cohesive namespace, promoting efficiency in data-intensive computing.
Molly Presley, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at Hammerspace, emphasized the necessity of this initiative: “AI doesn’t fail because the models aren’t good enough – it fails because the data is too fragmented to fuel them.” This highlights the pressing need for solutions that bridge these gaps.
Hammerspace’s Global Namespace technology allows for intelligent data management, ensuring that the most relevant datasets are readily available for AI applications, whether in data centers or cloud environments. This capability minimizes latency and storage costs while ensuring data consistency across various platforms.
As organizations embrace AI, the collaborative efforts of the SNS will pave the way for a more integrated approach to data management, directly addressing the challenges posed by data fragmentation.
Key Points:
– Hammerspace joins SNS to tackle data fragmentation.
– Consortium includes major tech giants like NVIDIA and Google.
– Focus on establishing a unified standard for exabyte-scale data access.
– Hammerspace technology enhances data availability and performance for AI applications.
