POD, Penguin Computing's Linux-based Penguin on Demand HPC cloud, is going to get high-performance parallel storage from Panasas whose petabytes-supporting ActiveStor line is supposed to ensure against bottlenecks. POD, which doesn't use machine virtualization, is targeted at researchers, scientists and engineers who require surge capacity for time-critical analyses and organizations that need HPC cluster capabilities. Its users access its servers' full resources at one time, enabling maximum performance and I/O for massive HPC workloads. POD provides a persistent compute environment that runs on a head node and executes directly on the compute nodes' physical cores.
