Scale-out Platform Nodes

The Isilon Scale-out Platform for High Performance, Capability and Scalability

Isilon delivers increased performance for file-based data applications and workflows, from the highest performance, I/O-intensive applications, to primary and secondary storage, to nearline archives, all from a single file system architecture.

Powered by the OneFS® Operating System, all components in an Isilon cluster create a unified pool of highly efficient storage-with a proven 80 percent storage utilization rate. Isilon's high efficiency means less physical storage is required to house the same amount of data, reducing capital and operating costs.

  • Single volume, single file system and ease-of management requires less than one FTE per petabyte, reducing overall storage costs.
  • Up to 15.5 petabytes and up to 85 GBps of throughput and up to 1.6 million IOPS in a single file system. 
  • Add capacity and/or performance within 60 seconds.  With the OneFS autobalance feature you can quickly and easily add nodes without downtime, manual data migration, or application logic reconfiguration, saving IT resources.
  • With Isilon you don't need to over-provision storage capacity or performance - purchase storage only when you need it and scale "on the fly". 

Isilon hardware platforms are designed for simplicity, value, best-in-class performance, and unmatched reliability.
