Solution Description
Data Storage and Management
Organizations face challenges as they store and manage the rapid growth of critical, unstructured, file-level data. EMC Isilon scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) addresses large-scale and growing file shares and home directories with the highly scalable, available, and easily managed EMC Isilon Home Directory and File Share solutions, designed to consolidate services and eliminate file server silos. Key results include improved storage utilization, IT productivity, and increased end-user productivity.
Consolidation
EMC Isilon scale-out NAS excels at housing unstructured data associated with home directories and file shares, reducing IT costs and consolidating existing environments to eliminate file server sprawl and improve storage utilization.
Isilon NAS also eliminates data migrations that are required to mitigate hot spots and balance capacity among volumes.
Storage Efficiency
The EMC Isilon single file system and single volume architecture simplifies data and storage management while maximizing storage utilization and efficiency. EMC Isilon SmartPools software provides automated, policy-based storage tiering to further reduce costs by moving inactive files to the most cost-effective tier.
Data Protection
