Panasas ActiveStor 4000 Parallel Storage Clusters deliver industry-leading storage performance and ease-of-management for data intensive simulation and analysis applications. These applications typically run on large clusters and access very large files in a sequential fashion. They demand high capacity and very high bandwidth in order to deliver results as quickly as possible.

Designed specifically for these application workloads, the AS4200 packs up to a robust 20 TB of disk into a 4U shelf and delivers over 600 MB/s of throughput utilizing an integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch. With linear scalability of capacity and throughput, the AS4200 provides up to 200 TB of storage and 6 GB/s of throughput from a standard 42U rack. Additional racks can be added to enable multiple Petabytes to be configured in one common global file system. For environments not requiring the maximum available storage capacity, the AS4150 and AS4100 storage clusters deliver the same outstanding performance at lower capacities. These industry-leading parallel storage solutions all include the ActiveScale® operating environment.

Panasas offers comprehensive storage solutions that deliver the highest bandwidth and I/O performance; scalable performance and capacity; and simple unified management. Built on an object-based architecture and optimized for medium-to large-scale clusters, the Panasas integrated hardware and software solution has been deployed in hundreds of installations around the globe, helping organizations accelerate their time to results and maximizing ROI from data intensive and high performance.
