Panasas the panacea for slow storage
Panasas the panacea for slow storage
Networked storage system provider Panasas has introduced a storage system for scalable Linux clusters that it claims delivers up to 30 times more throughput than other systems by reading and writing multiple gigabytes of data per second to a single system.
The Panasas ActiveScale Storage Cluster is based on an object-based storage design, with input/output processing of more than 300,000 operations per second.
Our rapid customer adoption validates the need for a new storage architecture to unlock the full potential of Linux clusters," said Rodney Schrock, President and CEO of Panasas. "The Panasas Storage Cluster moves the industry far beyond any other storage system on the market today."
"We continue to be impressed with just how rapidly the Linux cluster market is taking off. This new compute paradigm will need a matching new storage methodology, and what we've seen from Panasas so far puts them in a very elite group capable of taking a leadership role," said Steve Duplessie, President of Enterprise Storage Group. "This is one of those rare inflection points in technology, and that means there will be room for new players with new ideas."
