The rapid growth of digital content is forcing companies of all sizes to face the same data storage, management and archiving challenges that, until recently, were experienced only by large enterprises. The IQ 200 clustered storage system from Isilon represents an ideal solution, optimized for the storage, performance, space and cost requirements of a wide spectrum of businesses and offered at a breakthrough price. The IQ 200 speeds access to critical data, while dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of storing and managing it, giving businesses of all sizes the power to transform their data into information and their information into breakthroughs.
The Isilon IQ 200 combines Isilon's OneFS® operating system software with best-of-breed, industry standard hardware to create a single file system that delivers the key benefits of Isilon's enterprise-class clustered storage solutions - unmatched scalability, performance and ease of use - at a price optimized for a broad spectrum of businesses. The IQ 200 is an ideal solution for budget or space constrained businesses that need to protect and manage their critical data and maximize their IT budgets with a truly modular, "pay as you grow" approach.
Each modular, self-contained Isilon IQ 200 platform node contains 2 terabytes of disk capacity along with CPU, memory and network connectivity, all in a compact 1U rack-mountable system. As additional Isilon IQ 200 platform nodes are added to a cluster, all aspects of the cluster scale linearly, including capacity, throughput, memory and CPU processing power. The system can scale from a minimum configuration of 3 nodes (6 terabytes) up to 24 nodes for a total of 48 terabytes in a single file system and single volume.
