Offers features like Master Snapshot which are useful for recovering files and easy to use if you are familiar with familiar with NAS things and networking protocols
If you're considering Panzura, I'd actually recommend looking into DDN products. They're very stable. In fact, they're launching Infinea, which is totally cloud-based and uses Lambda and Kubernetes. It's a very good product. If you have basic IT concepts, it's very easy to understand. But if you're not familiar with NAS things and networking protocols like SMB or Linux, then it might be a bit difficult for new users. Linux understanding is very important to use Panzura. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. Master Snapshot feature is the only exceptional feature, but the rest of the features are similar to other storage solutions.

It's really fast, flexible new technology and we don't have any bottlenecks due to speed
It's really fast, flexible and new technology. We don't have any bottlenecks due to speed. We can snapshot all the data to object storage and replicate it to another site using the object storage features. You can take as many snapshots as you want to back up all your data. There's no limit to cluster size, so you can grow as many WEKA cluster nodes as you want. Apart from snapshots of data to object storage, you can also tier the data, which is a different procedure. They can provide huge bandwidth or throughput to a single client. This is a very special platform for working with high-performance computing. You can use a server like a DGX or an NVIDIA and provide individual clients with almost 200 gigabytes per second. This is where PowerScale and Isilon have major limitations. We don't have such limitations with Weka. That's why it's been indicated for high-performance computing clusters. I'm very excited to work with this platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its most valuable features are the collaboration, the file snapshots, and the data protection the solution provides."
"The main thing in Panzura is that there are three key components: PanFS, NAS, and collaboration. These are strong features, and a big benefit is that you can access everything from anywhere."
"There's no limit to cluster size, so you can grow as many WEKA cluster nodes as you want."
 

Cons

"Master Snapshot feature is the only exceptional feature, but the rest of the features are similar to other storage solutions."
"It should be easy for people not on the network to connect and access their files."
"If the product included synchronous replication and VLAN integration, I would rate it 10 out of 10."
