“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 …

“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 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 …

"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."

“We’ve been able to fit a lot more storage within a smaller space and will have all of the compute capacity needed.”

"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.”

“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.”

"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 …

"The speed and power of Panasas ActiveStor helps us support our clients’ tight production schedules."

"HPC clusters have developed to a level where they are now professional products which we should expect to “just work.” The complete solution chosen by the University of Leicester does exactly that with best of breed storage from Panasas. Ease of management allows researchers to optimize their use of the …

“You don’t have to understand the technology to see how you would get a dramatic increase in performance. I don’t care how many spindles you put behind the NAS controller, you’re going to run out of network bandwidth to the controller. It’s just not going to be able to handle …

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

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

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