Hammerspace Enters Korean Market, Accelerates APAC Growth Strategy

Hammerspace today announced its official launch in Korea, marking another strategic milestone in the company’s rapid global growth.

Hammerspace has been accelerating its presence across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, following successful launches in Japan and China earlier this year. The expansion into Korea builds upon a highly successful year for the company, which recorded a 32% year-over-year increase in customer adoption and a tenfold increase in revenue across multiple regions in 2024.

The Korean launch is a key component of Hammerspace’s APAC growth strategy, as local enterprises seek data platforms which provide both performance and advanced data orchestration technologies to power artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), research, and other GPU-intensive workloads.

Hammerspace plans to deliver its award-winning Data Platform to Korean organizations looking to use and manage data more efficiently across hybrid cloud environments. The platform enables seamless, instant access to data regardless of location, storage system, or vendor by creating a unified global data environment.
 

Leading the Transformation of Enterprise Data Infrastructure

Hammerspace is gaining attention for its unique data-in-place architecture, which logically integrates data across diverse, previously siloed enterprise environments using metadata without requiring manual data movement. This allows enterprises to gain full visibility and immediate access to their data, no matter where it is stored.

The Hammerspace platform combines parallel NFS (pNFS) technology with Tier-0 storage layer optimization to deliver exceptional performance. These capabilities ensure low-latency, high-speed access for data-intensive applications—including AI training, HPC workloads, and media rendering—while dramatically reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) by utilizing existing storage and network infrastructure.

Hammerspace’s platform also features a policy-driven orchestration engine that automatically relocates data to optimal locations based on workload priority, resource proximity, and usage patterns. This automation supports scalability and agility across single-site, multi-site, and hybrid cloud environments.

In terms of security and compliance, the platform integrates advanced encryption, access control, audit logging, and governance policies, helping enterprises to strengthen data protection. Real-time data access and enterprise-wide integration further accelerate AI training and inference, empowering data-driven business decisions.
 

A Strategic Market for AI and HPC Growth

According to IDC’s Semiannual Artificial Intelligence Tracker (2023), Korea’s AI market is expected to grow 12.1% year-over-year in 2025, reaching KRW 3.44 trillion. By 2027, the market is projected to reach KRW 4.46 trillion, with a CAGR of 14.3%. Major sectors such as telecommunications, manufacturing, healthcare, public sector/defense, finance, and education are expected to drive AI adoption, supported by continued investment in digital transformation.
