Isilon's OneFS enables:

• Independent or linear scalability of performance and capacity to over 45 Gigabytes per second of throughput and more than 10.4 petabytes of capacity in a single file system.
  
  
• A single point of management for large and rapidly growing repositories of data.
  
  
• Mission-critical reliability and high availability with state-of-the-art data protection.

Unlike simple NAS namespace aggregation products, Isilon's OneFS operating system is truly distributed and intelligently stripes data across all nodes in a cluster to create a single, shared pool of storage. OneFS offers unsurpassed mission-critical reliability and industry-leading drive rebuild times.

OneFS also delivers unique cluster-aware symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) capabilities that enable the system to move tasks between processors for extremely efficient workload balancing. In conjunction with OneFS’ ability to stripe data across all nodes in a cluster, Isilon achieves the high aggregate bandwidth and transactional performance required to power next generation enterprise data centers.
