Comsys is delighted to announce that we are now bringing Isilon technology into the Irish market as part of our storage management solutions. Isilon is a powerful yet simple scale-out architecture that enables rapid scaling of both capacity and performance, and decreases the resources necessary to manage enterprise storage environments.

Isilon is the ideal solution for accelerating “Big Data” access in design and simulation, digital media, financial analysis, and enterprise file-based workflows. Isilon is now the global leader in scale out storage and has just set a new record for networked file performance and overall response times.

The Isilon S200 scale-out NAS system is the new industry performance leader based on independent benchmark measurement by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC®). According to the latest SPEC testing data – which measures networked file performance and overall response times – the EMC Isilon S200 scale-out NAS platform achieved record performance results, trumping competitors by more than double their closest results.

Benchmark Highlights:

• SPECsfs2008_nfs.v3 Results: 1.1 Million NFS IOPS – a 75% increase over closest results from any competitor

• SPECsfs2008_cifs Results: 1.6 Million CIFS IOPS – a 126% increase over closest results from any competitor

At the heart of the Isilon scale-out storage platform is the OneFS Operating System. OneFS combines the three layers of traditional storage architectures – file system, volume manager and RAID – into one unified software layer, creating a single file system that can scale capacity and performance to extraordinary levels.

The unique scale-out architecture of the “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.

Unlike simple NAS namespace aggregation products, OneFS is truly distributed and stripes data across all nodes in a cluster (from 3 to 144 nodes in a cluster, ranging in capacity from 6 TB to 10.4 PB) to create a single, shared pool of storage - while implementing a globally coherent shared cache.
