Manageable at Scale
With a single point of management, an intuitive interface, and many automated enterprise management functions, the Panasas® ActiveStor® Solution makes it easy to manage from dozens to hundreds of terabytes of storage. One IT administrator is all it takes. And administration stays just as easy when the ActiveStor solution scales to petabytes of storage capacity.
Easy to Deploy
You can set up the ActiveStor system in less than 10 minutes. This tightly integrated appliance offers streamlined implementation; and automatic discovery of new storage makes scaling fast and simple.
EASY TO USE
A single, unified namespace creates no islands of storage. Automatic load balancing of files and compute nodes maximizes performance.
EASY TO MANAGE
The ActiveStor solution offers a single management view via the Panasas PanActive Manager graphical user interface (GUI) or command-line interface. Snapshots and user quotas help reduce administrative effort. The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) supports easy integration into data-center-level management tools.
Consolidated for Performance
Welcome to simplicity. A Panasas scale-out storage system is a single entity you manage from a single GUI, no matter how many ActiveStor enclosures you integrate into it:
- Automatically balance or rebalance capacity across ActiveStor enclosures.
- Reconstruct full levels of erasure-coded data protection for all files in the event of failure.
- Continuously scan in the background all files in the cluster and scrub out any latent data failures.
Consolidating many different unstructured data workloads into a single scale-out ActiveStor solution not only reduces storage complexity in your data center, it reduces operational expenses.
