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.
