31 Panasas Testimonials

"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."

“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.

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

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

“Panasas is what storage should be—something that you don’t have to think about.”

“Panasas ActiveStor speeds up our design and simulation processes and saves us an incredible amount of time and money.”

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

"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 system without having to spend valuable time simply keeping the system running. This is very important on an HPC system which supports a broad range of research across a diverse set of academic disciplines."

“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.”

“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.”

"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 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.”

“Many storage vendor claims sounded pretty good until we dug into them a little bit. We eliminated many options pretty quickly, but with Panasas ActiveStor 14, the more we drilled down, the more we liked.”
