EMC Isilon Maintenance

Support for your EMC Isilon

EMC Isilon is a scale out network attached storage platform for high volume storage, backup and archiving of unstructured data. A clustered isilon storage system consists of three or more nodes with each node being self contained. OneFS is the operating system software used which unifies a cluster of nodes into a single shared resource. OneFS OS allows the storage system to grow symmetrically or independently as additional space or processing power is required.

Different types of nodes are available for the Isilon storage system. These are the S-series that deliver high IOPs for process intensive applications; the X-series which will deliver high throughput; the NL-series for high capacity which support archiving and disaster recovery needs; and the HD-series for high density. All of the four types of nodes mentioned can co-exist simultaneously in a single file system on the same cluster. As the Isilon storage system is designed as a scale out platform it can grow up to 144 nodes per cluster and nodes can be added when required for additional capacity or performance. This provides the ability to deliver relatively high storage utilisation rates.
