Accelerating Academic Research
It’s more than storage—it’s your quest
More Productivity
Institutions of higher learning must support a broad range of high-performance applications and massive data sets across scientific, engineering, and even humanities disciplines. Many existing IT infrastructures are no longer up to the task because their legacy storage technologies simply can’t keep up with today’s data storage and processing requirements. Because these applications, operating in a private cloud, often span many scientific and engineering disciplines, you must optimize storage infrastructure to successfully address a variety of algorithms and input/output (I/O) demands.
The Panasas® ActiveStor® network-attached storage (NAS) solution scales storage bandwidth and random I/O to accelerate throughput for a wide range of demanding data-intensive applications in the world’s higher education environment. The solution provides a scalable namespace that enables workflows to generate multiterabyte data sets within a single shared file system. You can effectively share these data sets across high-performance campuswide and global grid computing environments for scientific and engineering collaboration.
Empower scientists and researchers to do more by upgrading to the ultrafast streaming performance, true linear scalability, and enterprise-grade reliability of the ActiveStor storage appliance.
