Accelerate High-Concurrent and Sequential Throughput Workflows

The Isilon IQ X-Series accelerates high-concurrent and sequential throughput applications, speeding access to massive amounts of critical data, dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of managing and storing it.

High Flexibility

• High concurrent access and scalable capacity in a single global namespace
• SSD technology for file-system metadata to accelerate namespace intensive operations
• 80% utilization rates mean less capital outlay and greater efficiency
• Low power consumption and maximum density for ultra-low overhead

Simplicity

• Single file system and shared global namespace
• Up to N+4 on-the-fly data protection, set at cluster, directory or file level
• Consolidate virtualized and non-virtualized environments into one storage pool-eliminating the need to create LUNs or volumes, mount multiple file-systems, zone another fabric or create another failover path

Flexibility

• Easily configurable for a broad range of business requirements
• Seamlessly scale from a few terabytes to multiple petabytes and over 45 gigabytes per second (GBps) of throughput

 The Isilon X-Series is Ideal for:

• Virtualized Environments: Tier 2 and Tier 3 workloads.
• HPC and Research: Large sequential IO and throughput. Tier 2 results analysis and instrument data.
• Digital Media: broadcast, post production, and DI (digital intermediate).
• Internet/Web 2.0: online video, audio, and image serving; Web-analytics.
• Life Sciences: genetic sequencing and large scale microscopy environments.
• Electronic Design Automation: design team collaboration, design libraries, tool scripts, and design implementation databases.

Isilon's Scale-out Storage Platform, powered by our OneFS® operating system, combines a robust suite of management applications and industry-standard, enterprise-class hardware to deliver meaningful and sustainable productivity enhancements.
