“Today, the line between real world applicability and scientific theory continues to fade as technological advancements and scientific knowledge unite to take scientific insight beyond the laboratory and into much broader arenas of comprehension and analysis. SDSC provides cutting-edge technology and expertise to extend the reach of science and continue to advance scientific accomplishments, and Isilon clustered storage forms part of a web-based, Cellular Imaging Portal for cancer scientists.”

"Our pharmaceutical and bioscience customers rely on our next-generation genomic services to deliver results faster, more accurately and at less cost, making data performance and availability critical to our operations," said Dr. Fei Lu, CEO, SeqWright. "With Isilon IQ, we can power every stage of our workflow with one, seamlessly integrated solution, enabling us to deliver more accurate results in less time, while accommodating previously unattainable levels of new business."

"Our cloud services address customers' need for enterprise-class data center resources, meaning our network, servers and storage must always be available on-demand," said Jacob Linscott, director of IT systems, SoftLayer. "Isilon IQ fits the bill perfectly - an easy-to-use single file system that allows us to buy what we need, when we need it, and then scale capacity and performance in-line with business growth. With Isilon, we've improved service functionality and flexibility without having to add any headcount."

"By going 100 percent digital for the first time in Olympic history, we are seeing phenomenal increases in the quality of our photos and at the same time saving millions of dollars. We chose Isilon IQ as the heart of our new digital storage infrastructure because it allows us to simply, reliably and economically store our digital photos, and can scale to enable us to produce the most breathtaking Olympic coverage in the history of SI."

"Our new Private Cloud service delivers best-of-breed enterprise-grade cloud computing resources on-demand, enabling our customers to build and scale their own virtual IT infrastructure quickly, securely and reliably. We've seen significant demand for our Private Cloud offering, and consequently we require a storage solution that can match our platform's flexibility and keep pace with growing demand. Isilon scale-out NAS does exactly that."

"We operate a highly virtualized data center with a broad range of data-intensive applications, so we need a storage solution that can seamlessly scale both performance and capacity," said Evan Watkins, director of operations and quality assurance, Surgient. "We can't afford to waste valuable resources on the complex data migration necessary with traditional storage in virtualized data centers. With Isilon, we've dramatically simplified and accelerated our workflow, enabling us to instantaneously respond to customer demand, while growing our business to acquire new customers at a more rapid pace."

"As the competition and stakes intensify in the race to discover new oil and gas resources, accurate and efficient analysis of seismic data is absolutely critical to advancing our business initiatives. In order to execute at the highest level, we require storage that delivers the high performance necessary to power our seismic processing applications and computing clusters. With Isilon, we can now analyze our massive quantities of seismic data more quickly and more efficiently to accelerate our global projects, and ultimately advance our business." 

"At The Orphanage, we pride ourselves on delivering leading-edge visual effects for major Hollywood films that continually advance the state of the art. With our latest project, we faced unprecedented data storage requirements for a single motion picture, requiring a unique solution with the scalability and ease of use necessary to cost-effectively power our workflow. Isilon clustered storage delivered in full."

"The amount of data our scientists generate is growing very rapidly - with no end in sight - so it's critical to our research that we can allocate necessary storage capacity and performance to our scientists on demand," said Dr. Edward Suh, CIO, TGen. "With Isilon, we have an efficient system that can scale in-step with our needs, making it a core component of the IT support necessary for all we do at TGen."

"Our managed services drive monetization for our media customers by making their content accessible across a wide range of access points and delivery models," said Mark Lemmons, CTO, Thought Equity Motion. "So of course, the ability to quickly and effectively transcode content into multiple formats is critical to our business and demands a high performance, highly reliable storage solution. Isilon is that solution - an easy to use storage resource that scales on-demand to accelerate our operations, while reducing costs."

"The individual productivity of each of our geoscientists is our most important metric. Utilizing Isilon clustered storage improves that metric and helps give Tricon a competitive edge. Tricon is poised for substantial growth over the next five years and we need a solution that offers us the speed and ease of use that the Isilon provides." 

“By utilizing Isilon's SmartPools, we've been able to automate movement of data across tiers to optimize performance, while simultaneously reducing the amount of high-performance storage we need, thereby reducing our cost of operation. I cannot state emphatically enough how much of a blessing this new system has been.”

"As our university continues to grow and expand the scope of both our research and education projects, we need a central storage resource that can unify data access for our wide array of academic and scientific operations," said Helge Illig, engineer, Institute for Medical Computer Science, University of Lübeck. "Isilon's ability to centralize our file-based data and applications onto a single, easily scalable file system that requires very little hands-on management is an unbeatable advantage."

"As the information technology provider for several leading hospitals, we can't afford to take risks with any products in our data center, especially our storage systems. Isilon IQ is a robust, secure storage product that requires minimal manual intervention, and I have peace of mind knowing Isilon's excellent customer support organization is always behind me if we ever need them."

"Our live, mobile and on-demand video solutions for in-house, syndicated and user-generated video depend on fast, reliable and scalable storage," said Greg Kostello, founder and CTO, VMIX. "Our hybrid, n-tier storage system integrates Isilon storage in our data center with cloud storage services so we can get the best of both worlds."

“As our operations continued to expand, we found our traditional SAN was too complex to efficiently support our virtualized environment and not scalable enough to grow cost-effectively in line with our business. By moving to Isilon, we’ve eliminated the complexity and costs of our previous system, while creating a foundation for further consolidation and simplification. With Isilon, virtual server utilization is up, our data is more available and management is simpler.”
