The University of Minnesota selected ActiveStor 16 to accelerate their critical medical and scientific research projects. Deployed as a private cloud, university researchers require a hybrid solution that delivers the fastest time-to-results across a wide variety of demanding workloads without compromise to either the reliability or manageability of the system.
"With a diverse research user base requiring reliability and performance over a wide range of input/output workloads, we felt that the next generation of Panasas storage solutions provided a proven and uncompromising choice," said Jeff McDonald, assistant director for HPC operations for Minnesota Supercomputing Institute at the University of Minnesota.
“We’re excited to see the rapid adoption of ActiveStor 16 validating our belief that we have set a new standard for performance and reliability at scale,” said Geoffrey Noer, vice president of product management. “Technical computing deployments in the enterprise continue to grow, driving massive increases in the sizes of unstructured data sets. Our unique offering of proven reliability at scale combined with the high performance and manageability for which Panasas is known will continue to set Panasas apart in the storage marketplace.”
