Policy-based Global Data Services - Replication, Snapshots with file-granular recovery, Tiering and live data mobility, Undelete, File Versioning, Encryption, and WORM protection.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay by storage capacity used, measured in terabytes per hour. The eight capacity bands act as volume tiers. Each band covers a range of total terabytes, from 10TB up to 100,000,000TB. As your capacity moves into a wider band, the per-TB hourly rate drops. This means larger deployments bill at lower unit rates. Billing is usage-based, so charges reflect the capacity you actually run. Capacity and performance scale independently, so you are not required to overprovision. You deploy on standard AWS infrastructure to generate these charges.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one terabyte per hour actually measure for billing?
Billing measures the total storage capacity you run, in terabytes, metered each hour. You are charged for the capacity your deployment uses, not for a fixed block. The hourly rate multiplies by how many terabytes you run and how long you run them.
How does my bill change as my stored capacity crosses into the next band?
The band that applies depends on your total capacity. As capacity grows into a wider band, the per-TB hourly rate for that band applies. The rate steps down at each band boundary. Billing reflects actual running capacity, so charges track the terabytes you hold at any time.
Am I charged when my deployment is running less capacity or paused?
Charges accrue per terabyte per hour based on the capacity you actively run. Running less capacity lowers your charges. The software license meters running capacity and time. Note that underlying AWS compute and storage resources may carry their own separate charges when active.

Hammerspace CloudFormation Template launches a configurable number of Metadata Controllers (Anvil) and Data Services Noces (DSX).
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
Access the application via a browser using the 'ManagementUrl' provided in the 'Outputs' tab. Login as "admin" and use the 'ManagementInstanceId' as the password.
For SSH access to the Anvil node, specify a KeyPair during installation or add IAM users to the created Hammerspace IAM group, 'IAMAdminGroupUrl'. SSH in as ec2-user@ManagementIp using your key pair credentials to get admin CLI access.
Step by step instructions on how to deploy and setup the solution along with command line references are available in the 'AWS Marketplace Deployment Guide' under https://hammerspace.com/resources/

Hammerspace provides fast access to data. in comparison to other unstructured data storage software, hammerspace is easy to share data. It wins trust in the international market.
What do you dislike about the product?
It requires some work in UI parts, sometimes UI gets stuck. The second thing is the community is not big at this time so faces some challenges if any unknown error occurs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Hammerspace, store client unstructured data in the cloud which require a lot of access between clients (Read-only). It increases productivity due to less manages data.
