Isilon IQ X-Series 6000
Breakthrough Clustered Storage Performance
Breakthrough Clustered Storage Performance
Isilon IQ 6000 includes 6 TB in each node for a range of applications that require good performance but are also dependent upon the enhanced available capacity relative to throughput. Isilon IQ 6000i utilizes high-performance, low-latency InfiniBand for intracluster communication.
Linear Scaling of Capacity and Performance
Each modular, self-contained Isilon IQ platform node contains disk capacity along with a powerful storage server, CPU, memory and network connectivity. As additional Isilon IQ platform nodes are added to a cluster, all aspects of the cluster scale linearly, including capacity, throughput, memory and CPU processing power. Isilon IQ nodes automatically work together, harnessing their collective power into a single unified storage system.
Isilon IQ 1920, 3000, 6000, 9000 and 12000 platform nodes deliver the unparalleled ability to add storage capacity, performance or both in less than 60 seconds without downtime or application changes. Newly added nodes joining a cluster automatically inherit existing policies and configuration settings and Isilon's AutoBalance feature automatically stripes data across the newly expanded cluster, eliminating the downtime traditional storage systems require when adding capacity.
