According to Panasas, compared to a legacy NAS architecture, a direct parallel file system consistently delivers more bandwidth, and is much less prone to the hotspots, bottlenecks, and erratic performance common to legacy systems.
This is especially so for high performance computing (HPC) workloads.
This data sheet will compare these options head-to-head and highlight the features of Panasas’ PanFS, which was developed for the scale and performance needs of HPC environments.
Read on to see which is most suitable for your HPC workloads.
