Panasas Increases Quality and Develops Products
Faster with Out-of-Band Management Tools
OVERVIEW
Panasas, Inc. develops cluster storage solutions that help companies accelerate the
speed and accuracy of their business decisions, leading to real world breakthroughs
that improve people's lives. They enable customers to maximize the benefits of
Linux clusters by breaking down the storage bottleneck created by legacy network
storage technologies. Panasas has become the established leader in clustered storage
for Linux by providing excellent performance and manageability in a system that
seamlessly integrates into existing customer environments.
The company's success is based on delivering a product with exceptional
performance and manageability to customers as quickly as possible. As their
business grew, they needed a way to shorten product development times and to
improve the scope and speed of their quality assurance (QA) testing. Additionally,
the company's developers and testers needed secure remote access to shared lab
facilities in California, Pennsylvania, Texas and India.
CHALLENGE
To shorten product development time, increase efficiency of QA process, improve
quality, and support more devices without increasing staff
Global expansion presented several challenges to the company's product
development and testing process. Panasas needed an efficient, functional and
cost-effective way to enhance their QA process and to shorten their product
development cycle. Their development and testing environment grew from 150
servers to 400 servers and also grew from 400 Panasas StorageBlades™ to 1,200
StorageBlades, all of which needed to be accessed remotely within the development
and testing infrastructure. Panasas needed to support this growing environment
without increasing staff. They also wanted to develop 10,000 new QA tests and have
these tests run automatically, further ensuring the high quality products and services
their customers expected.
In addition, they wanted to reduce overall product development cycles and needed to
support their geographically dispersed developers and testers.
