Energy

In the quest to supply oil and gas to the world, leading energy firms use Panasas high performance storage to increase the speed and accuracy with which they identify the location of future oil exploration sites. This is most evident in seismic data acquisition and processing, where 4D seismic imaging techniques provide more opportunities to accurately analyze where and when to drill.

Panasas Storage allows oil and gas companies to focus on their competitive advantage – analyzing data – in a faster more comprehensive fashion. Panasas’ patented PanFS storage operating system creates a single pool of storage under a global namespace, delivers exceptional bandwidth performance, and accelerates the time needed to get interpreters their data. Panasas storage integrates seamlessly into existing IT infrastructures and scales in capacity and performance to streamline manageability.
