  • ActiveStor Ultra 150 (Performance)
    • The ActiveStor Ultra 150 (ASU-150P), combined with high-performance dual actuator HDDs, offers the highest throughput performance among VDURA® certified storage appliances. Like the ASU-150, it is built on industry-standard hardware with a focus on mixed media storage, available in sets of four nodes per enclosure. Powered by PanFS®, ASU-150P can also deliver hundreds of gigabytes per second from a single namespace. With ActiveStor® director nodes and the DirectFlow® driver, PanFS ensures parallel and redundant access to ASU-150P storage nodes, providing maximum throughput performance, unlimited scalability, enterprise reliability, and ease of management.
  • ActiveStor Ultra XL V2
    • The ActiveStor® Ultra XL V2 (ASU-150X) is a VDURA® certified high-capacity hybrid mixed-workload storage appliance. Built on industry-standard hardware, it emphasizes mixed-media and high-density storage for a low price per terabyte, ensuring cost-efficiency without compromising performance.
  • ActiveStor Ultra Edge
    • The ActiveStor® Ultra Edge 100 (ASU-100E) is a VDURA® certified storage appliance designed for compact primary and remote data centers, as well as hub-and-spoke edge deployments. It delivers parallel file system performance in a small footprint and at a low-cost entry point, providing flexibility and efficiency for edge computing needs.
  • ActiveStor Ultra Director
    • The ActiveStor® Director 200 (ASD-200) is the VDURA® director node, acting as the control plane for the PanFS parallel filesystem. Built on industry-standard hardware, the ASD-200 features a balanced architecture that supports independent scaling to meet the needs of metadata-intensive applications across various industries, including manufacturing, life sciences, energy, financial services, academia, and government. Pairing ASD-200 with ActiveStor Ultra 150 and XL V2 allows for performance scaling based on specific requirements.
  • ActiveStor Infiniband Router 500
    • The ActiveStor® InfiniBand Router (ASR-500) provides seamless connectivity between InfiniBand-based compute clusters and Ethernet-based VDURA ActiveStor Ultra storage solutions. Certified ASR-500 Nodes feature both Ethernet and InfiniBand network interfaces, configured to route IP traffic between the two. The ASR-500 Enclosure can accommodate up to four ASR-500 Nodes, offering a cost-effective, high-performance, and low-latency InfiniBand fabric connectivity solution for your Panasas ActiveStor storage solutions.
