EMC ISILON SCALE-OUT STORAGE
PRODUCT FAMILY
Unstructured data storage made simple
IT’S NOT JUST DATA, IT’S YOUR BUSINESS
EMC® Isilon® scale-out storage solutions are desig ned for enterprises that want to
manage their d a ta, not their storage. Our storage system s are powerful yet simple
to install, manag e , a nd sc ale to virtually any size. And , unlike traditional enterprise
stora ge, Is ilon solutions stay simple no matte r how much stor age c apaci ty is add ed,
how much perfor manc e is require d , or how busine s s needs change in the future.
We’re challe nging enterpris es to think d iffe r e ntly abo ut the ir stor a g e , because whe n
they do, they’l l r ecog niz e there ’ s a better , s imple r way—w i th Isilo n.
EXPAND IT...SIMPLY
With EMC Isilo n scale -o ut networ k -attac he d stor a g e (NAS), yo u ca n have mass ive
room for growth—with up to 50 petabyte s (PB) of capac ity per cluster. Go ahead.
Take on more projects, perform more in-depth research, and serve up more data. Yo u
can scale both capacity and performanc e in about a minute to meet yo ur specif ic
business needs—all without any additiona l IT burden.
ACCELERATE IT...S IMPLY
EMC Isilon s tor age prov id e s you w ith the tools to dramatically inc rease workflow
produc tivity and maximize the value of your enter pr is e applications and Big Data
assets—allowing you to accelerate yo ur busine s s thro ug h faster time to money
and new revenue oppor tunities.
PROTECT IT. ..SIMPLY
You don’t entrust your most valuable assets to just anyo ne . EMC Isi lo n storage
solutions pr ov ide the highest levels of reliab il ity , availability , and serv ic e ability
in the industr y. For fast and efficient data b ackup and recovery, you can schedule
snapsho ts as frequently as needed to meet your specif ic recovery-point objectives.
For reliab l e dis as ter reco very prote c ti o n, our storage solutions prov ide extremely
fast data replication, along with push-button failover and failback simplicity, to
further inc rease the availab il ity of your d ata for miss ion-critical app lic ati o ns .
SECURE IT...SIMPLY
Meeting compliance and governance re q uirements is essential for most organizations
today. To address these needs, Isilon provides robust security options, including file
syste m auditing and Data at Rest Encryptio n (DARE ) with self-encrypting drives
(SEDs). W e o ffer write once, read many (WORM) data protection to prevent accidental
or malicio us alter ation or deletion and help you meet regulatory requirements—
including the stringent SEC 17a-4 rule. With Isilon, you can also lever age rol e-based
access control (RBAC) options and, if needed, create isolated storage pools for specific
departments within your organization. Isilon also offers Secur ity and Te c hnic al
Impleme ntation Guide (STIG ) hardening , CAC/PIV Smartcard authe ntic ation, and FIPS
OpenSSL su pport for Federal government agencies and financial services businesses.

EMC ISILON ONEFS OPERATING SYSTEM
POWERS SCALE-OUT STORAGE SOLUT IONS
The EMC Isilon OneFS® operating system provides the intelligenc e be hi nd all Is ilo n
scale-out storage solutions . Thro ugh the fusion of OneFS, state-of-the-art
enginee r ing, and industry-standar d ente rp rise hardware, EMC Isilon provides a highly
scalable , high–performa nce mod ular storage architectur e that can grow with your
busines s . OneFS can help you acce lera te proc ess es and work flows, while scal ing eas ily
to handle mass ive gro w th and prov iding the highest leve l s of data protection
available . Thi s is all provided in a storage solution designed for unmatched ease of
use.
EMC Isilon scale-out storage solutions, p ower e d by the OneFS oper ati ng syste m ,
provide user s with a bro ad range of options to meet the ir spe c if i c stora ge needs.
SCALE-OUT DATA LAKE FOUNDATION
As the volume and sour ces of data hav e exp anded dra matic a lly, traditio na l te c hniq ue s
to store and analyze information have prov e n to be too expensive and too slow to
handle the massive data volumes modern enterp rises produce and manag e . With
Isilo n, yo u can stre aml ine yo ur stor age infr as truc ture by consolidating large-scale file
and unstruc tured data assets, eliminating s ilos of storage while prov id i ng the
found ation for a scale-out data lake that suppo r ts tr aditio nal and nex t gene r a tio n
applica tio ns a nd work lo ads .
UNMATCHED AGILITY AND PERFORMANCE
Change is inev i tab le . That’ s why every EMC Isilo n sys te m is built to rap idly and simply
adapt. O neFS allo ws a storage system to grow symme tr ic a lly or inde pend e ntl y as
mor e space or processing power is required. This allows you to scale your storage
easily as your business needs dictate. With Isilon, you can scale capacity to 50 PB and
performance up to 3.75 million file operations per second, with over 200 gi ga bytes per
second (GB/s) of aggregate throughput—all from a single file system.
To further ac cele r a te perfor mance , Is ilon solutions inc or po rate innovative featur e s lik e
a scale-out flash tie r that can pro v ide ov er 700 TB of flash cache in a single cluste r
along with support for Microsoft SMB 3.0 Multi-Channel.
EFFIC IE NCY AND CO ST-SAVINGS
Orchestrated by OneFS, all compo ne nts in an Isilon cluster work in concert to
create a unif ie d pool of highly efficient stora g e—with a sto r age utiliz ation rate
of over 80 percent. With Is ilon S martDedupe™ data deduplication, you can further
reduce your data storage requirements by up to 35 percent in environments with
redundant data across multiple sources. The unmatc he d eff icienc y of Isilon storage
systems means that less physical storage and space are required to house the same
amount of data—reduc ing both initia l c ap i tal o utl ay a nd ongoing costs. And, with the
EMC Isilon Auto B alanc e ™ function, you can quickly and easily add nodes without
downtim e , manual data migr ation, o r app lic ation logic reco nfiguration, s aving prec io us
IT resource s . And becaus e Isilon storage is so easy to manage, it re q uire s fewer IT
resour ces for storage administration than traditional s tor age syste m s , which fur the r
reduces overall op erat i ng costs.
SIMPLE INTEROPERABILITY
With Isilon, you can streamline your s tor age infr as tructure by consolid ati ng larg e -
scale file and unstructured data as s e ts , eliminating s ilos of storage. EMC Isilo n scale -
out NAS includ e s integr ate d supp or t for a wide range of industry-standard protocols,
including Internet Protocols IPv4, andIPv6, NFS, SMB, HTTP, FTP, OpenStack Swift-
based Object ac ces s for your cloud initiatives and native Hadoop Distributed File
System (HDFS). As a result, you can simplify workflows, accelerate busines s analy tics
projec ts , suppor t c lo ud infr as truc ture initiatives, a nd get m or e value fro m your
enterpr is e app lic ations and data.
EMC Isilon solutions readily integrate with your VMware® environment and incorporate
VMware VAAI and VASA APIs to increase virtualization performan ce and simplify the
management of your virtualized IT environment. These levels of interop e rability help
you leverage yo ur large d ata asse ts more fle xibly with a broad range of applications
and worklo ads , and acro ss a diverse IT infrastructure environment.
