White Papers
BioTeam: Storage for Science
This white paper is intended to inform the Life Science researcher with large and rapidly growing data storage needs. Many of the storage requirements common to Life Science research are explored and the evolution of modern storage architectures from local disks through symmetric clustered storage is explained. Finally, Isilon’s IQ clustered storage solution is presented in detail.
Closing the Storage Virtualization Gap with EMC Isilon
This Enterprise Strategy Group, Inc. white paper presents how EMC Isilon solutions are designed as highly-scalable virtual storage systems well suited to complement today’s highly virtualized environments. The combination of the OneFS operating system, SmartPools, and Smart Connect software are foundational technologies that enable Isilon to offer a scalable, self-managing, self-optimizing, and self-healing scale-out storage platform using commodity hardware.
EMC Isilon OneFS Operating System: Powering the Isilon Scale-out Storage Platform
Next-generation data centers must be built for sustainable scalability. OneFS is the next-generation file system designed to meet these challenges. Download this white paper to gain an overview of the architecture of OneFS as well as the benefits of the scale-out storage platform.
Isilon in Production: Driving Cost Reduction and New Opportunities in Media and Entertainment
Create it. Manage it. Deliver it. It sounds simple. But within these three key media and entertainment processes are a myriad of moving parts, immeasurable man hours, and ever increasing challenges. All of these core media processes—production, archive and playout— have two key things in common: each relies heavily on the crucial element of storage and, if effectively streamlined and accelerated, each would significantly impact business value. This document will focus entirely on storage requirements in the media production process.
Managing Data Growth and Monetizing Information Value
The digital universe will continue to expand, and organizations will spend more time and money collecting, storing, and monetizing fast-growing data sets and rich pools of content for the foreseeable future. IT organizations must place a high priority on boosting the efficiency and reliability of their platforms for collecting, storing, protecting, and delivering this information. Download this white paper to learn more.

Case Studies
3Ality Digital Systems: Creating Broadcast Breakthroughs in 3D
3ality Digital Systems relies on Isilon IQ clustered storage to power the creation and post production of its live-action 3D content. With the ever-growing storage needs of 3D digital media, it is vital to be able to scale storage to meet the demands of the business.
Kodak: A Breakthrough in Digital Imaging
Isilon IQ clustered storage, powered by the OneFS operating system software, enables Kodak EasyShare Gallery to simplify its storage architecture and respond to both rapidly increasingly image resolutions and its expanding customer base. Isilon IQ enabled Kodak EasyShare Gallery to eliminate the costly third-party servers and software virtualization products that sat between the application servers and storage.
Cedars-Sinai: On the Trail of a Prostate Cancer Breakthrough
By blending state-of-the-art technology with cutting-edge research, the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s Louis Warschaw Center for Applied Molecular Medicine aims to make life-prolonging contributions to one of the most common and second most diagnosed types of cancer for men. By coupling Isilon IQ clustered storage with high performance computing and proteomic analyses, Cedars-Sinai researchers are collecting, analyzing and correlating troves of data with the intent of ending today’s process of “best guess” medicine.
FotoKem: Breakthroughs Hit the Big Screen
FotoKem has been in the post-production business for 40 years. The company has been charged with improving the quality of everything from classic black-and-white films to modern blockbusters. With the majority of their work involving the digitization of films for processing, their storage needs were staggering.

Research Reports
Broadband Testing Report - Isilon Systems
Having already been impressed by Isilon’s initial IQ clustered storage solution, we were hoping not to be disappointed with its new suite of data management software applications – and we weren’t. Within the scope of our tests we proved that the four products offer – between them – the means of creating a very scalable, secure, resilient and flexible storage solution that is incredibly rapid to deploy and simple to manage on a day-to-day basis.
Clustered Storage: Valuable Today - Requisite Tomorrow
The biggest problem with managing storage environments is the complexity of the storage systems. Most leading storage systems require expertise and ongoing manual administration to maintain operational excellence. This complexity exists because these storage systems are not highly virtualized.
EMC Isilon S200: Record-setting Scale-out Performance for Big Data Workloads
Keeping up with data growth continues to be a problem for IT organizations large and small. A NAS solution that delivers predictably scalable performance for responsive time sensitive file sharing workflows reduces the cost and complexity associated with supporting a growing number of applications, users, and files in enterprise-class IT environments. ESG Lab confirmed that a cluster of EMC Isilon S200 nodes accessed as a single file system delivered record-setting, industry-audited performance of more than 1.6 million SPECsfs2008_cifs operations per second—more than twice the highest published result.
ESG Report: Scale-Out Storage 2.0
The amount of data businesses need to store is skyrocketing, which drives corresponding growth in overall data storage costs in the form of storage systems, floor space, power, cooling, and the people required to manage it all. And so today, more than ever, IT is turning to the storage environment, investing in new technology with a clear focus on reducing operational costs.
IDC: Assessing the Business Value of Scale-Out Network-Attached Storage Solutions
With the growth of Web, cloud, and data-intensive applications, companies are increasingly challenged to find better ways to scale and manage their storage environments without disrupting business operations or adding costly IT staff.

Designing Big Data Storage Infrastructures
Big Data is essentially a combination of processes and infrastructure that allow organizations to capture, analyze and manipulate large sets of structured (information in databases) and unstructured (file) data with the eventual goal of extracting value from that data. Big Data turns the traditional storage problem upside down.
EMC Isilon OneFS Operating System
OneFS is the core of Isilon’s scale-out storage platform. The most important part of OneFS is that it is abstracted from the physical hardware that makes up the clustered storage platform. That means the data assets to be stored can be written across the individual hardware components within the storage cluster with little regard to what those components are. This capability is what builds the core of the scale-out storage model.
Solving Corporate IT Storage Challenges with Big Data Infrastructures
Big Data storage problems and modern corporate IT storage challenges have a lot in common. Download this article to learn more and find out how scale out storage provides the data management capabilities that organizations need while keeping management time and costs to a minimum.
