Storage Solutions for Government

While government agencies have a wide variety of workflows, applications and data types, they share common storage challenges with requirements for: massive scalability, robust performance, end-to-end data protection, multi-protocol accessibility and value. 

Isilon scale-out storage solutions are engineered to handle the intensive workflows and storage requirements of government agencies including  full motion video (FMV), streaming media, electronic documents, graphics, imagery, satellite data, geo-referenced, radar, sensor, forensic, biometrics, home directory and other large file-based data.

We engineered the complexity out of storage to give you a storage platform that’s simple to install, simple to manage and simple to scale.   And it stays that way no matter how much storage is added, how much performance is required or how your needs change in the future.

Simple to Manage

The OneFS operating system combines file system, volume manager and RAID into one unified whole, delivering a single intelligent file system.  With a single point of management for even the largest environments and workflows, you can manage petabytes of data as easily as terabytes.  The Isilon Scale-out storage platform doesn’t require specialized training or certifications, and features a web-based, intuitive user interface.  

Protection, Reliability and Disaster Recovery

The Isilon OneFS operating system intelligently stripes data across all nodes in a cluster to create a single, shared pool of storage--no single node stores 100 percent of any file.  If a node should fail, all other nodes in the cluster deliver files and data without interruption.  Isilon provides a suite of integrated software applications to protect applications and data so you can non-disruptively set different protection policies, unlimited snapshot and replication schedules across any number of data stores.

Simple to Scale

The Isilon storage platform delivers industry leading scalability—up to 144 nodes in a single cluster and more than 10 petabytes in a single file system.  Once racked, an Isilon cluster takes less than 10 minutes to configure and set up, and capacity can be added in less than 60 seconds with no downtime or disruption.

Economic Value

With Isilon, you can scale “on the fly” , an ideal solution for agencies that must immediately adapt to new demands and unexpected emergencies with no tolerance for down time.  You purchase only the storage you need today, with the ability to easily expand tomorrow with no disruption to workflows or applications.  Combined with guaranteed utilization rates of 80% and reduced administration, Isilon delivers proven economic value.
