- Larry Jones, Vice President, Marketing
Panasas, Inc.
Larry is responsible for all product marketing at Panasas, Inc. and is a veteran of storage and HPC technologies. He has held extensive senior management positions at companies including Driveway, a leader in personalized online storage, E*Trade's Business Solutions Group, Lotus Development/IBM for Lotus Notes and cc:mail, Farallon Computing and Northern Telecom. He holds a B.A. degree from the University of Michigan.
With customers in 30 countries and 6 continents around the globe, Panasas ActiveStor Parallel Storage is the premier storage system for scalable Linux clusters. Panasas delivers exceptional scaling in capacity and performance while extending appliance-like ease of management to a virtually boundless storage system. All Panasas storage clusters contain the object-based, PanFS™ parallel file system. Using Panasas storage solutions, organizations can achieve maximum application performance while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) by driving cost and complexity out of their storage infrastructures.
Join Matt Jacobs, VP of HPC at Penguin Computing and Larry Jones, VP, Marketing at Panasas, Inc. as they discuss how the two companies are collaborating to provide organizations increased productivity and lower total cost of ownership from their cluster infrastructure. Matt and Larry will explore the increasing use of high performance simulation, analysis and modeling applications on Linux clusters and the impact on end users who have less expertise managing clusters and less IT staff to help them. Attendees will understand how they can now have the highest performance and ease of management from their HPC solution.
