Hammerspace bookings accelerate 14x

AI-focussed data orchestrator Hammerspace said its bookings so far in 2026 are almost fourteen times greater than in the whole of 2025.

And that with new CRO Tony Asaro only in post since late January, having been promoted from Chief Strategy and Business Development Officer. Hammerspace’s Global Data Environment corrals existing unstructured data silos and uses pNFS-based software to feed data via GPUDirect to Nvidia GPU servers.

Hammerspace founder and CEO David Flynn said: “AI has moved beyond model building. The next phase is operational: inference at scale, faster time to first token, lower cost per token, and readiness for physical AI. Hammerspace turns the infrastructure customers already own into the platform they need to win.”

He believes the pace of AI inferencing adoption shows that “organizations cannot wait for infrastructure shortages to ease, for new capacity to arrive, or for copy-based architectures to catch up. They need to move now with the storage, GPU servers, data centers, and cloud resources they already have.” They also need software to find and ship data to servers fast for “ultra-low-latency data-intensive workloads.”

Asaro has helped Hammerspace build channel partnerships, such as with Hitachi Vantara, Supermicro, Nvidia AI Data Platform support, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and neoclouds - GPU-as-a-service operations.

We’re told the bookings boost reflects “global enterprises unifying data across data centers and cloud to accelerate AI without new silos or disruptive migration,” and “government and sovereign AI initiatives where organizations must operationalize AI quickly while maintaining control of distributed data.”

Hammerspace says gross retention is over 95 percent, indicating its software is sticky and few customers abandon it for something else. Its NPS (Net Promoter Score) score is 71, with scores above 50 generally being regarded as world-class. This simply measures how likely customers are to recommend your product to other people.

For comparison Everpure’s NPS rating was 84 last year, as was VAST Data’s in 2024, while NetApp’s was reported by the Comparably website as 36 in April 2025.
