description: 'Hammerspace, Inc. is a Redwood City, California software company behind
  the Hammerspace Global Data Platform (formerly the Global Data Environment), a parallel
  file system and software-defined data platform that unifies unstructured data across
  on-premises storage, edge sites, and AWS, Azure and Google Cloud into a single global
  namespace. Data is reached through standard protocols — NFS, pNFS v4.2 with Flex
  Files, SMB, S3, and CSI for Kubernetes — while placement, replication, tiering, snapshots
  and retention are driven by declarative objectives rather than by manual data movement.
  The platform is administered through a GUI, an admin CLI, the open source hstk Python
  toolkit, Ansible and Terraform automation, and the Anvil metadata server REST API
  at /mgmt/v1.2/rest. The 2026 AI Data Platform release adds Tier-0 NVMe pooling on
  GPU servers, Milvus vector search, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that
  exposes enterprise data to AI agents and RAG pipelines.'

  name: Hammerspace Anvil Management API
  description: 'The management REST API served by the Hammerspace Anvil metadata server
    at the base path /mgmt/v1.2/rest. It is the programmatic control plane behind the
    Hammerspace GUI and admin CLI, covering shares, files, objectives, storage volumes,
    object-storage volumes, volume groups, data portals, nodes, sites, snapshots, snapshot
    retentions, share replications, schedules, tasks, licenses, Active Directory and
    identity provider configuration, antivirus, backup, NTP, syslog and proxy settings.
    It is served by each customer deployment rather than from a Hammerspace-hosted
    public endpoint, so the host is the customer''s own Anvil. Hammerspace does not
    publish an OpenAPI description of it on a public URL; the operations recorded here
    were observed in Hammerspace''s own Apache-2.0 licensed open source clients (the
    Kubernetes CSI driver and the Ansible operations playbooks).'
