To effectively run high-performance computing applications—the kind that can change the world—you need a powerful brain behind your storage system. The Panasas Activestor Director:
Each ActiveStor Director provides metadata access and cache coherency to a portion of the global namespace. As the size of the global namespace increases, the ability to distribute the namespace across multiple directors improves metadata performance.
ActiveStor Director provides efficient and high performance access to the user data via NFS/SMB protocols.
Ability to configure multiple director nodes provides for increased reconstruction performance that narrows the window of vulnerability. ActiveStor Director delivers exceptional replication performance with low touch management.
ActiveStor Director is delivered in two hardware form factors. Our traditional ActiveStor Director and our new ActiveStor Director, which liberates the brains of our system to be even smarter and faster. With the new ActiveStor Director (a fully flexible software platform that doesn’t lock you in) you can:
Now you have the freedom to configure your storage system to your unique workflows–now and in the future.
