Isilon upgrades file system
With the release of its new OneFS 4.0 distributed file system, Isilon says it can scale to support 528 terabytes (TB) of capacity and 7 gigabytes per second of performance in a single file system and single, truly symmetric cluster. The company also announced the release of two new clustered storage platform extension products -- the Isilon EX 6000 and Isilon IQ Accelerator.
Designed as a low cost, high-capacity clustered storage extension product, the EX 6000 contains 6 TB of SATA II disk capacity in a 2U form factor and utilizes SAS technology to connect to each Isilon IQ 6000 platform node. By using Isilon's new OneFS 4.0 and SAS, the combined products create a high-density offering that modularly scales from 60 to hundreds of terabytes in a single unified cluster and single file system, the company said.
