Accelerate Complex, Mission-Critical Oil and Gas Workflows

Upstream oil and gas exploration, production, and seismic data acquisition along with downstream management and delivery of that data is placing an enormous burden on traditional storage systems.

Isilon IQ® scale-out storage solutions are designed to meet these increasing demands while ensuring datasets are highly accessible, protected, and useful for business. Isilon offers the innovative solutions that oil and gas companies need to accelerate their complex, mission critical workflows, while reducing capital and operating expenditures.

Industry-Leading Scalability - Manage Petabytes in a Single File System

Isilon IQ easily scales storage, unifying vital seismic data into one file system, and increasing the performance of seismic applications. Isilon IQ delivers industry leading scalability—up to 144 nodes in a single cluster and up more than 10 petabytes in a single file system.

Powerful Performance 

No matter whether it's upstream seismic data or downstream ERP, Isilon IQ delivers instant, reliable and unfettered access to massive amounts of data while providing over 45 gigabytes per second (GBps) of throughput.

Unmatched Reliability

With Isilon, all files are striped across multiple nodes within a cluster, and no single node stores 100 percent of any file. If a node fails, all other nodes in the cluster still deliver 100 percent of the files without interruption—resulting in reliable data access for companies of any size.

Easy to Use, Easy to Manage

One seismic survey can easily produce many terabytes of data. Isilon scale-out storage unifies vast libraries of seismic data into one easily scalable, easily accessible shared pool of data. With Isilon, one person can now manage petabytes of data derived from seismic studies—representing an huge leap in efficiency.

Easy To Grow, Easy to Own

Powered by the OneFS® operating system, the Isilon IQ family of products creates a single pool of expandable storage that is easy to install and grow. Once racked, a 10-, 50-, or 100+-terabyte cluster takes less than 10 minutes to configure and set up, and capacity can be added on the fly in less than 60 seconds with no downtime.

“….. as a independent with limited IT staff, I need storage that doesn’t require specialized technicians to maintain it. With SMT Kingdom running on Isilon, I can focus on building the infrastructure and providing support to enhance what Kingdom does for our company, keeping our exploration team productive.” Eric R.
