"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."

“By leveraging the object-based architecture, we were able to completely eliminate our storage I/O bottleneck.”

“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 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 …

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

"Panasas lives up to its promise of terrific performance with negligible maintenance and administration time."

“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."

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

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”
