31 Panasas Testimonials

“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.”

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

“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 our massive datasets to advance essential scientific discovery."

“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.”

“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 our massive datasets to advance essential scientific discovery.”

"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."

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

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

“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.”

"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.”

"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."
