ActiveStor 16 marks the debut of the PanFS 6.0 file system, with RAID 6+ triple parity protection that achieves a 150x increase in reliability over dual parity approaches while minimizing drive rebuild times. Other Panasas firsts for ActiveStor 16 include 6TB HGST UltraStar He6 helium-filled drives and a doubling of the capacity of on-system solid state drive (SSD) resources for increased metadata and small file performance. The new platform nets a 50 percent gain in system density while optimizing on-system flash for the new RAID 6+ implementation.

“With big data workloads pulling high performance computing into the mainstream of the enterprise, customers’ expectations for reliability and availability have increased at a time when traditional data protection has reached its limits,” said Steve Conway, research vice president, IDC. “The developments in Panasas ActiveStor 16 and PanFS 6.0 show timely industry leadership in addressing this growing concern and tackling the challenges of reliability and availability at scale.”
