1. Scale-out Central Store

2. Conventional Storage Verses Scale Out Clustered Storage Conventional Storage Scale Out Clustered Storage Faster………………………………………………. Slower………………………………………………………. TRAIN STOPS!!!!!!!!!!!! TRAIN KEEPS GOING!!

3. Modular, self-contained nodes each include: OneFS™ Distributed File System Dual socket server motherboard Single or dual quad core Intel CPU Up to 256 GB memory / 512 MB NVRAM Redundant high efficiency power supplies Dual InfiniBand core network connections Standard GbE front-end network connections w/ 10GbE option. 12(X), 24(S) or 36(NL) Disk drives per node Hot-swappable components Minimum of 3 nodes per cluster Industry standard protocols NFS, CIFS, HTTP, FTP, NDMP, SNMP ADS, LDAP and NIS for security What is a Node? 3

4. 10GbE over Fiber 1Gb Ethernet Central Store and File Data - The Plan Ahead… Analysis Ingest Scale out Single file system, single volume...up to 40+ PBs Multiple Usage including Missions and Central Store Better performance, from Storage and Central Computing Massive scalability support for HPC and Big Data requirements Private Cloud to support on demand storage and computing 1Gb Ethernet

6. Scalability (Performance and Capacity) It scales both performance and capacity at the same time. (Unique) Single file system, single volume...up to 40+ PBs (No limitation of 16TB file systems) Ease of Management Can add capacity and/or performance instantly. (Unique) NEVER need to do any raid, volume management or performance tuning (Unique) Data Protection and Flexibility Ability to set data protection( N+1, N+2, N+3 and N+4) at directory or file level with the ability to change the protection on the fly (Unique) Easy Migration to Future Generation HW without Downtime NEVER have to do a migration or forklift upgrade with this system, we can add more performance or capacity by just adding nodes to the existing cluster and can retire the old nodes without any down time to the Central Store (Unique) What Makes Isilon Storage Unique? The EMC-Isilon differentiation – Why Isilon
