CRN Recognizes Hammerspace for AI Training and Inferencing Performance on 2026 Cloud 100 List
Hammerspace today announced it has been named to the 2026 CRN® Cloud 100 list by CRN®, a brand ofThe Channel Company. The annual list includes the most innovative channel-focused cloud technology companies transforming how enterprises deploy and scale cloud infrastructure.
Hammerspace was recognized as it shapes the market for how organizations run AI training and inference with the cloud. Its data platform delivers Tier 0 storage performance to speed AI results, then automatically transitions data to cost-efficient object storage once demand subsides.
Hammerspace software was purpose-built to operate across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments, allowing enterprises to move data to compute wherever GPUs are available.
This architecture makes Hammerspace ideal for organizations that need to:
Maximize GPU efficiency during AI training or inferencing
Avoid permanent costs for large high-performance cloud storage pools
Maintain open, standards-based architectures
Tier 0: Maximum Performance, Without Permanent Cost
Hammerspace’s Tier 0 delivers direct, NVMe-class storage performance to GPUs, eliminating the I/O bottlenecks that commonly stall GPU pipelines in the cloud. Unlike traditional cloud storage models that force customers to pay premium prices for ongoing high-performance storage, Hammerspace enables a dynamic, workload-aware approach. This allows organizations to:
Run AI workloads in the cloud on GPU clusters with Tier 0 data storage performance
Sustain full GPU utilization with parallel, high-throughput data storage access
Automatically orchestrate data movement of job outputs to object storage
Improve cloud economics without sacrificing performance
The result is faster AI, higher GPU cluster efficiency, and dramatically lower cloud storage costs.
How Hammerspace’s Data Platform Works
Image: The Hammerspace Data Platform provides a single, unified namespace that spans existing on-premises storage and cloud resources, giving users and applications a single, secure way to see and access data across storage types, clouds and multiple sites.
1. AI Workload Starts – Tier 0 Becomes Engaged: Data is delivered directly to cloud GPUs usingTier 0 NVMe-class performance, eliminating I/O bottlenecks and keeping GPUs fully utilized.
2. Workload Completes, Hammerspace Orchestrates Data Movement: Hammerspace’s Data Platform automatically transitions outputsto object storage, where cost-efficient, scalable capacity makes economic sense.
3. Unified Namespace = No Silos, No Rewrites: Applications see a single global namespace across on-premises and cloud environments, which means no application changes, no manual data movement, no vendor lock-in.
4. Repeat On-Demand: When demand spikes again, data is instantly staged back to Tier 0 for performance — without permanent high-performance cloud storage infrastructure costs.
CRN’s Cloud 100 companies demonstrate dedication to supporting channel partners and advancing innovation in cloud-based products and services. The list is the trusted resource for solution providers exploring cloud technology vendors that are well-positioned to help them build cloud portfolios that drive their success.
In 2025, Hammerspace launched several new campaigns and resources to help its partner community drive success, including extensive cloud marketplace and enablement resources, new distribution models, an expanded partner portal and continued growth of its global team. In addition, the international “Hammerspace Partner Roadshow 2025: AI Anywhere” equipped Hammerspace partners with critical insight, tools, and connections to accelerate their AI businesses.
