31 Panasas Testimonials

“The system is blazingly fast. We’ve been able to eliminate our I/O bottleneck and thus carry out data analysis more quickly.”

“With ActiveStor, I can have a virtually unlimited number of users editing off a single global namespace, all with a single login. You cannot imagine how much this has helped manageability. We no longer have the need to deploy and manage additional storage islands to address performance and user count limitations.”

“Since deploying the Panasas storage solution, I’ve found our overall IT workflow to be much more manageable. Furthermore, our geophysicists are no longer frustrated as they are experiencing a much quicker turnaround on their seismic processing jobs.”

“We have tremendous confidence in the manageability, reliability, and performance of Panasas storage and in the integrity of the company.”

"Rather than having a cluster node failure at least once a week, as a comparable system with local disks would experience, the time between node failures was increased to once every 7 weeks."

“Out of the box, the system was integrated effortlessly into our infrastructure.”

"Once Panasas is up and running, you just forget about it, which is exactly what we need."

“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.”

“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 talked to us the way I thought a vendor should talk to a customer. They listened to what I was trying to accomplish and then helped me get there. The product did exactly what they said it would, and they stood behind it. Panasas went above and beyond. ActiveStor 14 was so fast, it exposed bottlenecks in other parts of our workflow, and Panasas helped us overcome them.”

“We are extremely pleased with the performance gains achieved by the Panasas system.”

“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 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.”

“Panasas ActiveStor helps us support our existing infrastructure easily while supporting a diverse range of user communities with different needs.”
