HPC parallel file storage supplier Panasas has hired Ken Claffey … Claffey said: “I am honored to join Panasas at this exciting juncture. The company’s unique core parallel file system technology is central to enabling the secular growth of HPC and AI.”

September 6, 2023

Panasas has revealed that a number of leading academic research institutions are using storage solutions from the Panasas’ ActiveStor^® portfolio to support their modern high-performance computing (HPC) environments.

July 26, 2023

In this podcast, we look at how to size storage for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) workloads that can range from batches of large images to many, many tiny files, with Curtis Anderson, software architect at Panasas.

July 24, 2023

HPC and AI storage supplier Panasas has listed some academic customers for its ActiveStor products: the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute (MSI), the UC San Diego Centre for Microbiome Innovation (CMI), LES MINES ParisTech, and TU Bergakademie Freiberg state technical university in Germany and Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. According to Hyperion Research, total HPC spending in 2022 reached $37 billion and is projected to exceed $52 billion in 2026.

Today, modern HPC also encompasses AI, ML, high-performance data analytics (HPDA), and other emerging technologies, as well as expansion beyond the primary data center into the cloud and the edge. To ensure your edge HPC applications are optimized for success, here are seven characteristics to prioritize for successful HPC storage at the edge…read more.

Panasas brings HPC storage to the edge with its new ActiveStor Ultra Edge platform. The storage solution is designed for edge computing environments and is aimed at customers who want to deploy HPC and AI/ML applications at remote locations. Advantages are the lower space requirement and comparatively lower entry costs.

June 6, 2023

Panasas’s recent announcement of the addition of an edge platform to its family of scale-out NAS came alongside a planned significant move towards the cloud for the company, with native array S3 support coming later this year.

May 31, 2023

Panasas^® announces the launch of its new ActiveStor^® Ultra Edge platform, an HPC and AI/ML storage solution designed for edge computing environments. ActiveStor Ultra Edge provides constant and fast access to converged HPC and IA/ML workload data for today’s HPC ecosystem. Performance and capacity evolve in a linear way without limits.

May 31, 2023

High performance storage company Panasas had an active profile at ISC 2023, highlighting its new ActiveStor Ultra Edge platform, an HPC and AI/ML storage offering for edge computing environments. We spoke with Jeff Whitaker, vice president of product strategy and marketing, on the company’s software-wrapped-around-hardware evolution.

May 26, 2023

Jeff Whitaker of Panasas adds: “One constant in computing is the tremendous rate at which unstructured data continues to grow. And in the modern HPC ecosystem, the increasing convergence of traditional HPC with artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) workloads has resulted in massive volumes of high-performance data. Backup of this data is as business critical as it is challenging. The daily rate of file changes is incompatible with operational backup windows, and protection costs can be much higher if organisations attempt to reduce service downtime and I/O impact with existing traditional backup solutions.”

May 25, 2023

Panasas has halved the size of its ActiveStor Ultra parallel file system node to make a lower-cost edge datacenter box.

The ActiveStor range runs scale-out PanFS, with NFS and SMB/CIFS protocol support, and optimized performance to match workflow needs. The OS protects against drive, node, and site failures. PanView and PanMove services provide data visibility and movement capabilities.

May 24, 2023

Jeff Whitaker, VP, Marketing and Product Strategy at Panasas, discusses the findings of a recent survey which highlights the challenges associated with storage for high performance applications (both ‘traditional’ HPC and newer AI and ML-related ones). Skill levels, scalability, versatility, cost concerns – both CAPEX and OPEX – and storage management come under the spotlight.

May 22, 2023

“Our customers require storage infrastructures that can dynamically adapt to a changing mix of both AI/ML and traditional HPC workflows, but also have the capacity to support workflows across core data centers, remote satellite locations, and into the cloud,” stated Tom Shea, CEO at Panasas.

May 22, 2023

Panasas has substantially evolved their portfolio in the last few years to become much more of a software company, and is working on skilling up their channel further to sell the new solutions.

May 12, 2023

Panasas today announced significant growth of its partner ecosystem, resulting in 50% year-over-year growth in total partners since the launch of the company’s new channel strategy in May 2022.

May 10, 2023

The storage manufacturer Panasas has presented further products for data insights and transparency as well as for data security and mobility, which complement its PanFS software suite in version 9.3.1. The PanView and PanMove software solutions extend the data management and data analysis functions for Panasas Storage. They are intended to increase the transparency and mobility of resources in companies that use high-performance computing, high-performance data analytics and AI/ML on a large scale.

Two common practices hinder the optimization of data use in the life sciences, writes Adam Marko, director of life science solutions at Panasas. These are data siloing and a practice Marko calls “distribute and delete.”

Distribute and delete is the practice of generating data for external use and deleting it once that data is delivered to its external recipient. Marko notes that life sciences companies may engage in this practice to free up storage space or processing power.

From performing extensive seismic analyses to developing sustainable biofuels, modern energy advancements are fuelled by data. For organisations in the oil and gas and renewable energy sectors, concerns over data volumes, movement, and security continue to grow. These energy companies must be able to store and manage data according to the unique workload characteristics that drive their breakthrough dis-coveries. As such, they need a stable, easy-to-manage, and high-performance data storage foundation that they can rely on.

April 5, 2023

Survey results show an overwhelming 96% of respondents across the US, UK, and Germany face challenges in building and managing high-performance storage. In addition to over half of respondents (52%) citing specialty knowledge as the top challenge, other key findings.

“We are currently – mostly – able to keep up… by prudent pruning of low-value data and the natural growth in the density of individual drives, along with the growth in the number of those drive. We will almost certainly require progressively deeper and deeper pruning of low-value data to stay ahead of that explosion. If DNA-based storage lives up its promise, we will be able to stop pruning and simply store everything.” – Curtis Anderson.

AI needs storage… but it needs the right storage

“As more and more organizations adopt AI/ML, their IT teams will need to focus on the practicalities of how to cost-effectively build and manage an infrastructure that can support these powerful abilities and scale for future growth. And if there’s one component of that process that remains especially underestimated and misunderstood, it’s the data storage infrastructure that’s required to support these emerging applications.”
