Introduction
Hi there!
Welcome back to the Panasas® Collective! We’re rolling into July with some serious momentum.
Following an outstanding showing of our expanded ActiveStor® portfolio at ISC ‘22, we announced that we have joined forces with MLCommons™ to develop industry-wide storage benchmarks that will help design the next generation of storage systems for AI/ML projects. On top of all the great coverage we enjoyed this month, we continue to grow at a rapid pace and are excited to welcome four new additions to Panasas.
Panasas Lit Up ISC High Performance ‘22
Our booth was beacon that invited tons of insightful conversations about industry trends – and judging from them, we’re ahead of the curve. Get the full details from Jeff Whitaker, our VP of marketing here.
Panasas Joins MLCommons to Advance Machine Learning Storage Innovation
We’re thrilled to announce that Panasas Software Architect, Curtis Anderson, was selected to co-chair the MLPerf™ Storage working group at MLCommons. Curtis will help steer the development of critical ML storage benchmarks by establishing best practices for measuring ML storage performance.
“I’d like to thank Panasas for contributing their extensive storage knowledge, and Curtis specifically for the leadership he is providing as a co-chair of this working group,” said David Kanter, MLCommons founder and executive director. Read the full release here.

Blocks & Files Analysis: Panasas Updates Flash-In-A-Box HPC System Plus High-Capacity Hybrid Box
Chris Mellor, Founder and Editor at Blocks & Files, gives his take on our updated portfolio of data solutions.
“These two new systems – the go-faster Flash 100 and store-more Ultra XL – complement the mixed workload Ultra 100. They give Panasas systems ammunition to rebuff competition from DDN, Dell’s PowerScale, Qumulo and VAST Data, should Panasas’ HPC customer base consider alternatives.”
