The Isilon IQ X-Series delivers a flexible solution to accelerate your high-concurrent and sequential throughput applications, speeding access to massive amounts of critical file-based data, while dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of managing and storing it.
Accelerate the Flow of Critical File-Based Data Throughout the Enterprise The amount of file-based data surging through your enterprise continues to increase exponentially. Cost-effectively managing, storing, and providing access to critical data is essential to the overall productivity and agility of your business. Isilon can help.
The Isilon IQ X-Series, powered by the OneFS operating system, uses innovative clustered storage architecture to speed access to massive amounts of critical file-based data, while dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of management. The Isilon IQ X-Series delivers a flexible solution to accelerate your high-concurrent and sequential-throughput applications.
Agility and Flexibility: The Isilon X-Series is the first scale-out NAS solution capable of seamlessly scaling from a few terabytes to multiple petabytes and up to 45 gigabytes per second (GBps) of throughput, all within a single file system. On-the-fly scaling enables your organization
to quickly grow capacity and performance linearly or independently, for ultimate agility.
Ease of Use: Isilon’s modular architecture and intelligent software make deployment and management simple. Once racked, you can have an X-Series cluster online in less than 10 minutes, without time-consuming, expensive integration services. And, an X-Series cluster provides a single pool of storage with a global namespace, eliminating the need to support multiple volumes and file systems.
High Efficiency: Isilon storage delivers much higher utilization rates than traditional NAS or SAN storage—over 80 percent versus 50 percent for competing solutions. That translates into greater overall efficiency, resulting in lower acquisition, operating, and maintenance costs. Low power
consumption and maximum density further ensure the ultra-low overhead of Isilon storage.
The Isilon IQ X-Series provides the performance, scalability, and agility to conquer your storage challenges and drive your business ahead.
The IQ X-Series is ideal for:
- 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
