Isilon Systems White Paper Sample

What exactly is Web 2.0 storage? Here is one example: Consider the fact that there will be millions of users accessing a web-based service. They are downloading and uploading images, audio files and video. They may also be leaving messages and e-mails for other people sharing the same or different services. Typically these users are storing data on a service that is free to them. However, the cost of that infrastructure is not free. That is why it is essential that the storage being used for these services is extremely easy to manage, cost-efficient and easily and extensively scalable.

Isilon has already been providing storage to Web 2.0 companies, including KodakGallery, MySpace, and Photobox, for years now. However, their EX 9000 provides a denser and more cost-effective solution. And Isilon is beginning to focus on bringing their solution to brick and mortar companies that are looking to build their own Web 2.0 businesses.
