Ken Claffey, CEO of Panasas, emphasizes their commitment to delivering value through performance, cost-efficiency, and easy-to-manage storage solutions. He highlights the importance of flexible, scalable architectures in today’s hybrid IT environment, promising continued innovation in reliable and competitively priced storage solutions.
IDC notes the growing investment in AI, predicting significant AI application use in global computing infrastructure by 2025. This trend underscores the need for storage systems that combine HPC performance with enterprise-level reliability and ease of use.
Panasas’ PanFS 10, coupled with ActiveStor Ultra, merges HDD and SSD benefits, integrating Seagate’s MACH2 dual-actuator technology for up to double the performance of standard hard drives. This hybrid approach sets a new standard in storage infrastructure management, balancing performance and cost.
Claffey adds that PanFS 10’s support for MACH2 drives allows organizations to double performance capacity without the high costs associated with all-flash storage, especially as storage needs for emerging workloads grow.
PanFS 10’s S3 integration supports cloud-developed tools and applications, enhancing metadata and IOPS performance. It facilitates data movement across on-premises, edge, and cloud data centers, ensuring reliable and cost-effective data access.
Panasas has expanded its support to include 24TB SATA HDDs and InfiniBand HDR, further enhancing its storage solutions.
