The recently introduced Isilon S200 system delivers over 1.6 million CIFS IOPS and 1.1 million NFS IOPS with over 85 gigabytes per second of aggregate throughput, all from a single file system. The platform is the ideal solution for accelerating Big Data access in design and simulation, digital media, financial analysis, and enterprise file-based workflows.

The unique scale-out architecture of OneFS delivers true linear scalability, enabling customers to scale performance and capacity with the addition of each new node to the cluster and eliminating the need to ever choose between the two. EMC Isilon submitted results for the S200 across some of the most common customer configurations and demonstrated consistent linear scalability in clusters of 7, 14, 28, 56 and 140 nodes. By leveraging the leading-edge scalability and high transactional performance of the Isilon S200, users can easily and cost-effectively scale to meet the data-intensive demands of a wide variety of enterprise workloads.<!--more-->

 "Providing our customers with the right tools so they get the maximum value out of their data is our top priority," Patel said. "Big Data is no longer a niche challenge. It's a business opportunity for all enterprises alike. Isilon is designed to help our users develop new insights into their data stores and become more competitive with their offerings by bringing better products to market faster."

"ESG Lab has confirmed that EMC has set another world record with the latest SPECsfs performance benchmark results," says Brian Garrett, Vice President, Enterprise Strategy Group Lab. "Adding processing power, bandwidth and capacity to a single file system is quick, easy and automated. Isilon is in the envious position in the market where they already have the kind of scale-out architecture required for the most demanding storage performance environments."

 The recently announced Isilon S200 platform is intended to speed time to market and maximize return on investment with ultrafast primary storage for mission-critical, highly transactional, and random-access file-based applications. It scales with extremely demanding workflows and applications and delivers high performance in a small footprint
