2011 Recap

Faye Pairman

President and CEO

2011 was a year of investing and building for Panasas as we prepared for continued success in the coming year. I want to take the time, before the year winds down to thank our employees, our partners, and most importantly our customers for a great 2011 and in so doing, I would like to remind all of us of some of our 2011 highlights:

Get Parallel – Extreme Performance for Extremely Big Data

Brent Welch

CTO

In 2008 the first computer broke the petascale barrier, allowing a supercomputer to exceed 1015 operations per second. The Panasas parallel file system was instrumental in accomplishing this major milestone, achieving extreme performance for big data sets.

A Brief History of pNFS

Any of us who have been around the storage industry for a long time knows that standards adoption happens at what sometimes feels like a snail’s pace.  It takes the vision and dedication of people like Garth Gibson, Panasas founder and CTO, to bring momentous change to the industry by pushing the boundaries of technology.

pNFS – Are We There Yet?

It all started more than ten years ago when Panasas founder and CTO, Garth Gibson, realized that there was a strong emerging need for something faster than NFS to satisfy the growing I/O performance requirements of HPC Linux clusters. In 2004, Panasas started shipping its first ActiveStor™ scale-out NAS solution running the PanFS™ storage operating system.

Parallelism Goes Mainstream

Barbara Murphy

CMO

A clear sign that parallel computing is starting to go mainstream is that the general press starts to cover the topic.  Recently The Economist ran an article on the need for parallelism for applications that run in multi-core environments – http://www.economist.com/node/18750706
