“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.”

“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 …

“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 …

“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.”

“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."

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

“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.”

"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 …

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

“Technology advances that have brought down the cost of sequencing have contributed to an explosion of data...Panasas helps NCBI keep pace with the volume and complexity of incoming information in a cost-effective manner.”

“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.”

“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 …

"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."
