31 Panasas Testimonials

"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."

"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."

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

“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 it. Panasas, on the other hand, with its parallel file system, uses all of the network paths to access data directly, not bottlenecked by individual controllers.”

“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.”
