The company's intellectual capital management (ICM) solutions
provide integrated search, classification, recommendation, monitoring and
analytics across the real-time flow of enterprise information, along with
self-service Q + A. In the public sector, customers come from all levels and branches of
government including the U. Such
research is aimed at improving the performance and reliability of jet engines,
improving air quality from engine emissions, and improving the noise quality
for communities near airports. The Panasas
Storage Cluster was selected for its ability to scale seamlessly without
disruption to current users, provide fast data throughput by eliminating the
I/O bottleneck traditionally experienced with legacy network storage
solutions, and deliver extreme reliability and availability to an extended
community outside the Lab. For

Rockefeller and multiple campuses from the University of California system to
support world-class scientific, bioscience, and computational research. Until
now, complimentary storage solutions have created a performance bottleneck
that limited cluster performance and ultimately slowed the research efforts,"
