Discover the trends that define clustered storage architectures as the future of data storage, detail the requirements of this new category of storage, and introduce the Isilon® IQ clustered storage solution — the first to deliver on the promise of this paradigm shift.

ABSTRACT
Today, a new paradigm shift is taking place in the data storage industry: the movement toward Clustered Storage architectures. Distributed storage clustering for the data storage industry is, like IBM in 1981, poised to change the rules of the computer industry. Clustered Storage architectures are changing the rules of how data is stored and accessed. In this paper we will discuss the trends that clearly define clustered storage architectures as the future of data storage, detail the requirements of this new category of storage, and introduce the Isilon® IQ clustered storage solution — the first to deliver on the promise of this paradigm shift.
