Dell Isilon X210 NAS Storage System

Isilon X-Series

The Dell EMC Isilon X-Series, powered by the Isilon OneFS operating system, uses a highly versatile yet simple scale-out storage architecture to speed access to data, while dramatically reducing cost and complexity. The Isilon X-Series, featuring the Isilon X210, a 2U platform, is highly flexible and strikes the balance between capacity and high-performance storage. The X-Series is an ideal solution for a wide range of file applications and workloads. With SSD technology for file system metadata and file-based storage workflows, the Isilon X-Series also accelerates namespace-intensive operations.

Agility: The Isilon X-Series scales from tens of terabytes (TB) to a solution that support petabytes (PB). When needed, you can scale capacity and performance in about a minute by adding a node to your cluster.

Simplicity: With its modular architecture, the Isilon X-Series makes deployment and management simple. Once racked, an X-Series cluster can be brought online in about 10 minutes. With a single pool of storage with a global namespace, an X-Series cluster eliminates the need to support multiple volumes and simplifies management. And with Isilon, your solution remains simple to manage no matter how large the data environment.

Efficiency: With Isilon, you can achieve highly efficient utilization rates-up to 80 percent compared to about 50 percent for traditional storage. Isilon's SmartDedupe data deduplication option allows you to further reduce your storage requirements by up to 30 percent. This translates into lower acquisition and operating costs.

Security: With optional self-encrypting drives, the X-Series platform allows you to meet regulatory and compliance needs for securing data at rest without sacrificing performance or usability. Isilon also offers a wide range of other security and data protection options.
