SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Panasas®, a leader in high-performance computing (HPC) data storage solutions, announced today that it has joined the Thales Accelerate Partner Network and is working with Thales on the adoption of integrated storage security solutions.
The Panasas PanFS parallel file system delivers uncompromised performance to meet the intensive requirements of contemporary HPC and AI/ML workloads. PanFS 9 adds substantial layers of security through file labeling support for Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) and hardware-based encryption at rest with zero performance degradation.
For a robust and mature integrated encryption solution, Panasas and Thales have also teamed up to extend Thales CipherTrust Manager’s support to Panasas PanFS 9 for centralized, compliance-ready enterprise encryption key management.
“With the growing need to secure large data sets to meet privacy and regulatory demands, HPC centers need proven security solutions that meet stringent performance requirements,” said Todd Moore, the vice president of encryption products at Thales. “We welcome Panasas into the Thales partner ecosystem and look forward to working together to bring security to the high-performance computing market. With volumes of data, and the corresponding need for high–performance computing continuing to grow, organizations need to discover, protect and control their data now, more than ever. We’re excited to work with Panasas to address those critical needs.”
