Hammerspace, the high-performance data platform designed for AI and hybrid cloud environments, has promoted Tony Asaro to Chief Business Officer. In this expanded role, Asaro will lead the company’s global revenue organization—including sales, alliances, channel partnerships, and go-to-market strategy—to capitalize on surging demand from enterprises, governments, hyperscalers, and Neoclouds building AI infrastructure focused on data sovereignty, high-performance training, and agile inference for agentic AI systems.
As inference and agentic AI workloads transition into production, organizations require infrastructure that allows AI to run where compute and models reside—across sovereign regions, on-premises data centers, and public clouds—while maintaining compliance, performance, and simplicity. Hammerspace’s platform delivers a unified, policy-driven data layer that eliminates copy sprawl, reduces data movement, and accelerates AI pipelines with consistent high-speed access.
“Tony has been instrumental in consistently turning strategic partnerships into measurable revenue and durable market influence,” said David Flynn, Founder and CEO of Hammerspace. “As inference and agentic AI projects move into production, customers need to run AI where their compute and models live — without sacrificing speed, control, or governance. Tony will unify our revenue teams and accelerate how we scale that outcome with customers and partners worldwide.”
“When we talk about providing AI Anywhere, it is more than a pithy tagline but is actually a necessity in order to optimize Inference workloads,” said Tony Asaro, Chief Business Officer, Hammerspace. “We provide the only solution to truly deliver on this vision. Data orchestration. Multi-site data access. Hybrid cloud. Legacy storage systems just aren’t built to provide these capabilities — for them, it’s like asking a fish to fly. Our partners recognize this, and we’ve built strategic relationships with systems vendors and Cloud providers as a result. Hammerspace enables them to leverage all of our superpowers in conjunction with the value they bring to the table with their products, solutions and services.”
Hammerspace’s partner ecosystem continues to expand, exemplified by Oracle’s recent spotlight on the Hammerspace/Oracle OCI Dedicated Region solution. Enterprises can deploy OCI services in their own data centers to satisfy sovereignty requirements, while Hammerspace provides a global namespace and orchestrates data placement based on performance, cost, and compliance needs. This combination supports regulated hybrid AI strategies, enabling compute to run near data, minimizing unnecessary movement, and simplifying operations without proliferating unmanaged copies.
Entering 2026, Hammerspace reports robust sales momentum fueled by strategic partner growth, a channel network approaching 200 VAR resellers, and international expansion. The company established its Asia headquarters in Singapore and scaled operations in China and South Korea, while building new regional coverage for India and the Middle East from Dubai. These efforts enhance field capacity, partner enablement, and delivery for sovereign AI and GPU-intensive deployments worldwide.
