Case Study: Vanderbilt ACCRE cuts research storage costs by 48% with Hammerspace

Vanderbilt University reduces storage costs by 48% with Hammerspace

Vanderbilt University's Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education (ACCRE) faced the challenge of fragmented data silos and high costs from relying on separate legacy storage systems for performance and archive. This infrastructure constrained agility and locked them into specific vendors. To modernize its research data support for 2,750 researchers, Vanderbilt ACCRE turned to Hammerspace.

Hammerspace implemented a unified global namespace to integrate all of the university's storage tiers into a single environment. This solution allowed Vanderbilt to activate underused high-performance storage and dynamically compose resources without data migration. The results included a 48% reduction in costs and the creation of a modern 10PB environment free from vendor lock-in.
