Panasas Parallel Storage Technology: Extreme Scalability
We build highly scalable storage systems
From a single Panasas Shelf
To Tens of Petabytes
To Multiple Petabytes
10TB
or 15TB
or 20TB
or 40TB
up to 40GB of cache
Per Chassis
Multiple chassis combine to
create a single pool of storage
with a large coherent cache
Virtually unlimited scaling capability
And everything in between
600MB/s per shelf
(1GB/sec coming soon!)
Performance Scales Linearly
