Companies turn to Isilon because their large and rapidly-growing stores of file-based data present significant challenges that traditional, scale-up storage systems were not designed for. File-based data consumes large amounts of storage capacity, typically grows much faster and more unpredictably than block-based data stores, and often requires high throughput and high concurrency. Isilon's family of award-winning clustered storage products addresses enterprises' full spectrum of file-based data storage needs-from the highest performance tier-1 applications to tier-2 enterprise archive, disk-to-disk backup and disaster recovery.
Products
Powered by Isilon's OneFSŪ operating system software, Isilon IQ delivers the industry's first single file system that unifies and provides instant and ubiquitous access to rapidly growing stores of file-based data, eliminating the cost and complexity barriers associated with traditional storage architectures.
The Isilon IQ family of clustered storage products creates a single, shared pool of storage that can modularly scale to more than 2.3 petabytes of capacity and 20 GB/second of throughput, and is easy to install, manage and grow. Once racked, a 10, 50 or 100+ terabyte cluster takes less than 10 minutes to configure and set up, and additional capacity or performance can be added (linearly or independently) in less than 60 seconds, with no downtime.
The Isilon product line is comprised of the IQ 1920, 3000, 6000, 9000 and 12000 platform nodes, the EX 6000, EX 9000, EX 12000 and IQ Accelerator-x extension nodes, and software applications such as SyncIQ™, SnapShotIQ™, SmartConnect™, SmartQuotas™ and Aspera for Isilon IQ. This robust and flexible product line satisfies customers' varying capacity and performance needs for all file-based data.
