VDURA
Template:Short description VDURA (formerly Panasas) is an American AI and HPC data[1] infrastructure software company,[2][3][4] specialized in high-performance solutions for AI and HPC workloads.[5][6] The rebranding in 2024 marked its shift from hardware to a software-defined storage provider.
Headquartered in San Jose, California, with offices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Boulder, Colorado[7][8] VDURA is led by its current CEO Ken Claffey.[9][10]
History
Companies history dates back to 1999 when Panasas was founded by Garth Gibson, one of the developers of RAID, and the co-author of pNFS. They initially pioneered parallel file systems, creating PanFS, a parallel network-attached storage (NAS) system that supports high-performance computing (HPC) and AI applications.[11] Panasas gained early recognition for its innovative technology, which played a crucial role in HPC environments.[12][13] The first Panasas products were developed in 2004.
On May 7, 2024 Panasas officially became VDURA.[14][15]
Product portfolio
VDURA facilitates scaling, metadata processing and training cycles for AI and HPC.[16][17] They provide scalable solutions to life science enterprises and research institutes that speed up discoveries while preserving data efficiency and integrity,[16][18] and supply technological solutions to federal agencies, guaranteeing the protection and accessibility of critical data.[16]
World record data lift
In 2024, VDURA teamed up with Strongman legend Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson who lifted 282.6 Petabytes (3.18Template:E bytes) of data in Phison SSD drives[19] to break the world record for the most data lifted by a human being.[20]
