Enabling Greater Research Productivity

Dramatic advances in next gen sequencing technologies, ever-greater microscopy resolutions and a many-fold increase in the number of medical imaging devices are driving unprecedented growth of critical file-based research data. Isilon scale-out storage solutions dramatically increase the productivity of mission-critical life science and bioinformatics research applications and workflows while driving down complexity and cost.

Making a High-Growth Environment Simple & Powerful

Life science and bioinformatics organizations pursue their research objectives in myriad ways, but their storage challenges have much in common. They require massive scaling headroom, significant storage performance, accommodation of various file types and access patterns, and multi-protocol accessibility. And most of all, as organizations often perceived as "data rich" but "IT-light", they need their large-scale storage to be simple. Simple to buy, build, maintain, and grow.

Isilon's life sciences and bioinformatics customers benefit from Isilon IQ's ability to:

• Easily and non-disruptively scale a single file system/single volume on a "pay-as-you-grow" basis from 10 terabytes to over 10 petabytes.
• Provide simplicity and ease-of-use that extend the productivity of one FTE to multi-petabyte scale.
• Accommodate a wide range of file types and access patterns.
• Enable raw storage utilization rates to over 80 percent.
• Reduce technology "lock-in" risk with multi-protocol access options.
• Facilitate massive concurrent read/write access.
• Drive productivity in a wide range of workflows-from the highest performance HPC environments to massive data archives.
