S-Series Platform Node

Purpose-built for IOPS-Intensive Applications

The Isilon IQ S-Series, built on Isilon's proven scale-out technology, accelerates business and increases speed-to-market with ultra-fast primary storage for mission critical, high transactional, and random access file-based applications.

Agility 

The Isilon S-Series surpasses the limits of traditional primary file storage, delivering over 1.7 million IOPS, (30x times more than the leading Fibre Channel NAS solution) and 45 gigabytes per second (GBps) of aggregate throughput, all from a single file system.

  • With SSD technology for file-system metadata, the S-Series delivers high performance for metadata intensive operations while improving overall latency.
  • Up to 2.3 TB of globally coherent cache.
  • Enterprise class 15,000 RPM SAS drives, Quad-GbE front-end networking, dual quad-core Intel CPUs with a high-performance InfiniBand back-end

Simplicity and Ease of Use

You can install, configure and have an Isilon S-Series cluster online in under 10 minutes, without specialized services or certifications.

  • Single file system and single global namespace.
  • 60-second on-the-fly scaling of capacity and performance.
  • Up to N+4 on-the-fly data protection, set at the cluster, directory, or file level.

Cost Savings

With impressive performance benchmarks, the Isilon S-Series affords the best dollar per I/O solution available—a full thirty percent better than other enterprise storage solutions.

  • High utilization rates of 80% means more storage with fewer spindles, reducing capital outlay and increased storage efficiency.
  • Single file system and simple architecture can be managed by a single FTE.

The Isilon IQ S-Series is Ideal for: 

  • Digital Media: broadcast, real-time streaming, rendering, and post production
  • Design & Simulation: simulation, verification, and analysis of electronic and mechanical systems, design for manufacturability, and analysis requiring fast scratch storage

Isilon's Scale-out Storage Platform, powered by our OneFS® operating system, combines a robust suite of management applications and industry-standard, enterprise-class hardware to deliver meaningful and sustainable productivity enhancements.
