The challenge in building an IT infrastructure for universities and institutions of higher education and research is ensuring uptime for the broad range of end users and managing the diverse data-intensive applications and workflows demanded of the system. Applications can span many scientific and engineering disciplines, such that implementation of a storage system must consider a variety of algorithms, high-resolution modeling, and I/O demands.

Panasas Storage provides the necessary scalability in bandwidth and random I/O to accelerate throughput for the range of demanding data-intensive applications in higher education environments. Panasas’ scalable namespace permits simulations to generate multi-terabyte datasets within a single shared file system. These datasets may be effectively shared across high performance campus-wide and global grid computing environments to make research datasets available for scientific and engineering collaboration.
