Panasas
Founded in 1999 by RAID co-inventor Garth Gibson, and the vendor behind Roadrunner's parallel file system in 2008: object-storage blades under the PanFS/ActiveScale software, with clients computing parity rather than a central RAID controller. Rebranded as VDURA in May 2024, still independent.
