Panasas HPC Storage

Panasas ActiveStor 12

The fastest HPC storage system in the world

Panasas® ActiveStor™ 12 brings appliance-like plug-and-play simplicity to large scale storage deployments. It provides industry-leading performance and unrivaled performance per gigabyte for complex business-critical applications. This fourth generation Panasas storage blade system more than doubles performance over the previous generation product, going from 600MB/s to a stunning 1.5GB/s per chassis.

Maximum Performance and Scalable Capacity

ActiveStor 12 easily scales via a modular, buy-as-you-grow blade architecture based on industry standard disk storage. This superior product design provides effortless capacity expansion to six petabytes (PB) per system at a highly competitive price/performance level. Performance scales linearly to a staggering 150GB/s, the industry’s highest system throughput per gigabyte of disk storage for a scalable file system.

Scalable performance and capacity for cost-conscious HPC deployments

ActiveStor™ 11 brings plug-and-play simplicity to large scale, high performance storage deployments. It provides compelling, balanced performance and capacity scalability for highly demanding technical computing applications and Big Data workloads in the energy, government, finance, manufacturing, bioscience, and other core research and development sectors. This fourth generation storage blade system pushes performance to 950MB/s, a more than 50% increase in throughput when compared to its predecessor, ActiveStor 8.

Manageability

A Global Namespace presents a single pool of virtualized storage giving customers the flexibility to employ multiple applications and workflows on a single storage system.

End-to-End Data Integrity

Only Panasas includes RAID data protection as a component of its file system which removes cost and single points of failure. System-managed parallel rebuilds mitigate the risk of successive drive failures by providing the industry’s fastest rebuild times which actually decrease as the size of the storage pool increases. Panasas uniquely permits different RAID configurations for different data files, even within the same volume and storage pool. This allows users to tune performance and reliability characteristics on a file-by-file basis to satisfy data protection requirements of specific storage environments.
