The Future of Clustered Storage Delivered Today
The Isilon IQ family of clustered storage systems was built from the ground up to meet the needs of data-intensive businesses and high-performance computing environments. Isilon IQ is a high-performance, clustered storage system that combines Isilon's intelligent OneFS® distributed file system with best-of-breed, industry-standard hardware to deliver unmatched scalability and performance.
OneFS, with TrueScale™ technology, powers the industry’s first and only storage system that enables linear or independent scaling of performance and capacity. This new flexible and tunable system provides enterprise customers with an “out of the box” solution that is fully optimized for the widest range of applications and workflow. Isilon IQ is the first clustered storage system to deliver a single file system that scales to 528 terabytes of capacity, more than 7 Gigabytes/second of throughput and supports high-performance InfiniBand® for low-latency, high-bandwidth intracluster communication.
The Isilon IQ clustered storage product line addresses enterprises' full spectrum of storage needs - from the highest performance Tier-1 applications to Tier-2 enterprise archive, disk-to-disk backup and disaster recovery. Powered by OneFS, 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.
The Isilon product line is comprised of the Isilon IQ 1920, 3000, 4800 and 6000 platform nodes and the Isilon EX 6000 and Isilon IQ Accelerator extension nodes. This flexible product line satisfies customer's varying capacity and performance needs for all unstructured data and enterprise file-based information. In addition, Isilon's unique TrueScale™ technology enables customers to scale both performance and capacity linearly or independently based on application or workflow needs.
Key Benefits
Truly Distributed, Single Global Namespace. Unlike simple namespace aggregation, Isilon's OneFS® distributed file system intelligently stripes data across nodes in a cluster to create a single, shared pool of storage that can be used across a wide range of applications, including the production, analysis, delivery and archiving of unstructured and file-based data.
Automatic Data Migration. As new nodes and capacity are added to a cluster, Isilon IQ's exclusive AutoBalance feature automatically balances data across all nodes in a cluster in real time, removing throughput bottlenecks, maximizing performance and storage utilization, and eliminating downtime. With Isilon IQ it is no longer necessary to manually migrate data or change application logic as you scale.
