X-Series Platform Node

Accelerate High-Concurrent and Sequential Throughput Workflows

The EMC® Isilon® X-Series, powered by the Isilon OneFS® operating system and proven scale-out technology, accelerates your business by speeding access to massive amounts of critical high-concurrent and sequential-throughput data while dramatically reducing cost and complexity.

Agility and Flexibility

• High concurrent access and scalable capacity in a single global namespace
• Intelligent use of SSDs for metadata and file-based storage workflows
• Low power consumption and maximum density for ultra-low overhead

Simplicity

• Single file system and shared global namespace
• Up to N+4 on-demand data protection, set at cluster, directory or file level
• Consolidate virtualized and non-virtualized environments into one storage pool-eliminating the need to create LUNs or volumes, mount multiple file-systems, zone another fabric or create another failover path

Unmatched Efficiency

• 80% utilization rates mean less capital outlay and greater efficiency
• Seamlessly scale to 15.5 petabytes and over 100 gigabytes per second (GBps) of throughput
• Easily configuration for a broad range of business requirements

The EMC Isilon X-Series is Ideal for:

• Virtualized Environments: Tier 3 and Tier 4 workloads
• HPC and Research: Large sequential IO and throughput. Tier 2 results analysis and instrument data
• Digital Media: broadcast, post production, and DI (digital intermediate)
• Internet/Web 2.0: online video, audio, and image serving; Web-analytics
• Life Sciences: genetic sequencing and large scale microscopy environments
• Electronic Design Automation: design team collaboration, design libraries, tool scripts, and design implementation databases

The EMC Isilon scale-out NAS 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.
