“We don’t have a large support staff available to manage the system 24 hours per day, so we needed to find a solution that offered excellent manageability, load balancing and performance monitoring.”
“We’ve been able to fit a lot more storage within a smaller space and will have all of the compute capacity needed.”
“We have tremendous confidence in the manageability, reliability, and performance of Panasas storage and in the integrity of the company.”
"Once Panasas is up and running, you just forget about it, which is exactly what we need."
"The speed and power of Panasas ActiveStor helps us support our clients’ tight production schedules."
“The system is blazingly fast. We’ve been able to eliminate our I/O bottleneck and thus carry out data analysis more quickly.”
“The Panasas solution has increased our processing capability significantly by providing parallel data paths directly between the server nodes and the storage system. We’ve literally halved the time that our system spends on processing all the SAR data. Within five minutes of installing the Panasas ActiveStor system we could see all clients and all data.
“Panasas ActiveStor helps us support our existing infrastructure easily while supporting a diverse range of user communities with different needs.”
“We liked that ActiveStor provided a single point of management for a single, scalable file system. We like that capacity and performance planning, mount point management, and data load balancing across multiple pools of storage are all common administration problems easily solved by deploying Panasas storage.”
“The Panasas parallel file system remains resilient even at scale, and the direct and parallel access to the storage pool means that we can work on our most complex simulations, unaffected by the system bottlenecks of our previous equipment. The Panasas solution gives us powerful HPC capabilities to help leverage our massive datasets to advance essential scientific discovery.”
“By using Panasas storage with the DirectFlow® protocol, we’ve increased performance of our applications deployed on our Linux servers ten-fold and now have all of the throughput we need for existing and future applications."
“We looked at a variety of storage systems, but there was no compelling case to purchase any of them until we evaluated the Panasas storage solution.”
"Panasas lives up to its promise of terrific performance with negligible maintenance and administration time."
“The older storage systems we had before were always crashing. We’ve been very pleased with the performance and reliability of Panasas storage.”
“Panasas storage has virtually managed itself. Even during the period when we didn’t have anyone dedicated full-time to administer the center we didn’t have any problems or complaints about the storage. Our users are happy with the performance which allows them to do more with their big data workloads and get results faster.”
