Isilon Is The Answer To Relentless
Data Growth
 Easy to manage single file system with
massive scalability
 Data is automatically balanced
optimizing capacity and performance
 With seamless scalability backup
administrators can focus on the data
and not the storage
 Performance scales with
capacity growth

The Data Archive Preservation Challenge
 Data needs to be retained for a
variety of reasons including:
– Corporate governance
– Regulatory requirements
– Historical records
– Long tail data monetization
 Migrations put archived data at risk
– Traditional technologies require full
data migrations every few years
– Data can be lost forever during a migration

Simplified Storage Evolution and Optimization
Long-term Preservation
Without Migration Risks
 Risk free deployment of latest technology
– Greener, faster every year
– No server or client mount point or
application changes
 Co-existence of generations of Isilon
nodes, not migration
– Heterogeneous nodes: mix and match
 Push-button retire
No Data Migrations

Archiving Is About Preservation
The Archive Data Protection Challenge
Legacy scale up systems are still dependent on traditional data protection
Typically use traditional RAID which consume up to 30%+ of
the available disk capacity
Time to rebuild a RAID group after a drive failure continues to
increase with drive capacity increasing risk of data loss
Archives also need to survive major disasters
Data loss susceptible to 2 disk failures/2 controller failures

With N+2, N+3, and
N+4 protection,
data is 100% available
if multiple drives or
nodes fail
With N+1 protection,
data is 100%
available even if a
single drive
or node fails
Highly resilient, clustered architecture
Data Protection and Availability

And with Isilon, the
more nodes in the
cluster, the faster
drive rebuild time
