Dell EMC Isilon Hybrid Platforms
Dell EMC Isilon hybrid storage platforms, powered by the Isilon OneFS operating system, use a highly versatile yet simple scale-out storage architecture to speed access to massive amounts of data, while dramatically reducing cost and complexity. Isilon hybrid storage is highly flexible and strikes the balance between large capacity and high-performance storage to provide support for a broad range of enterprise file workloads. Isilon hybrid storage is available in 3 product lines:
- EMC Isilon H400: Provides a balance of performance, capacity and value to support a wide range of file workloads. Isilon H400 delivers up to 3 GB/s bandwidth per chassis and provides capacity options ranging from 120 TB to 480 TB per chassis.
- Dell EMC Isilon H500: This versatile hybrid platform delivers up to 5 GB/s bandwidth per chassis with a capacity ranging from 120 TB to 480 TB per chassis. An ideal choice for organizations looking to consolidate and support a broad range of file workloads on a single platform.
- Dell EMC Isilon H5600: Combines massive scalability - 800 TB per chassis - and up to 8 GB/s bandwidth - in an efficient, highly dense, deep 4U chassis. The Isilon H5600 is designed to support a wide range of demanding, large-scale file applications and workloads.
- Dell EMC Isilon H600: Designed to provide high performance at value, delivers up to 120,000 IOPS and up to 12 GB/s bandwidth per chassis. Ideal for high performance computing (HPC) workloads that don’t require the extreme performance of all-flash.
All Isilon hybrid storage platforms are powered by the Isilon OneFS operating system and use a dense, modular architecture to provide a powerful, yet simple scale-out storage platform to speed access to unstructured data, while reducing cost and complexity. Isilon hybrid storage systems integrate easily with Isilon all-flash and Isilon archive systems as well existing Isilon clusters.
Efficiency: Isilon scale-out storage delivers over 80 percent storage utilization versus about 50 percent for traditional platforms. Isilon SmartDedupe data deduplication software enhances storage efficiency to reduce your physical storage requirements. Isilon’s policybased, automated tiering options, including Isilon SmartPools and CloudPools software, allow you to optimize storage resources and further lower costs.
Flexibility: Isilon storage solutions supports all major protocols and data access methods including NFS, SMB, HDFS, HTTP, and FTP. This means that you can support a wide range of applications and workloads on a single Isilon platform.
Data protection: Isilon storage is highly resilient and offers N+1 through N+4 redundancy. With Isilon you may also choose from a variety of efficient and proven enterprise data backup and disaster recovery options.
Security: Isilon offers a broad range of security options including FIPS 140-2 level 2 self-encrypting drives, role-based access control (RBAC), secure access zones, SEC 17a-4 compliant WORM data immutability, and file system auditing.

Isilon OneFS Operating System Powers Scale-Out Storage Solutions
The Isilon OneFS operating system provides the intelligence behind all Isilon scale-out storage solutions. Through the fusion of OneFS, state-of-the-art engineering, and industry-standard enterprise hardware, Isilon provides a highly scalable, high-performance modular storage architecture that can grow with your business. OneFS can help you accelerate processes and workflows, while scaling easily to handle massive growth and providing the highest levels of data protection available. This is all provided in a storage solution designed for unmatched ease of use.
Isilon scale-out storage solutions, powered by the OneFS operating system, provide users with a broad range of options to meet their specific storage needs.
Scale-Out Data Lake
As the volume and sources of data have expanded dramatically, traditional techniques to store and analyze information are too expensive and too slow to handle the massive data volumes modern enterprises produce and manage. With Isilon, you can gain a highly flexible and efficient storage infrastructure that expands your data lake from the edge to the core to the cloud. You can consolidate data, simplify management and eliminate inefficient storage silos while supporting a wide range of traditional and nextgeneration workloads and applications that previously used a number of different types of storage.
Unmatched Agility and Performance
Change is inevitable. That’s why every Isilon system is built to rapidly and simply adapt. OneFS allows a storage system to grow symmetrically or independently as more space or processing power is required. This allows you to scale your storage easily up to 252 nodes as your business needs dictate. With Isilon, you can scale performance from 250,000 file operations per second (IOPS) with a single chassis up to 15.8 million IOPS with a single cluster. You can also scale throughput from 15 gigabytes per second (GB/s) with a single chassis up to 945 GB/s of aggregate read throughput in a single Isilon cluster.
Efficiency and Cost Savings
Orchestrated by OneFS, all components in an Isilon cluster work in concert to create a unified pool of highly efficient storage-with a storage utilization rate of up to 80 percent. With Isilon SmartDedupe data deduplication, you can further reduce your data storage requirements by up to 35 percent in environments with redundant data across multiple sources. The Isilon F810 all-flash platform also delivers up to 3:1 data compression to dramatically increase the effective storage capacity and density of your Isilon solution. The unmatched efficiency of Isilon storage systems means that less physical storage and space are required to house the same amount of data-reducing both initial capital outlay and ongoing costs. And, with the Isilon AutoBalance function, you can quickly and easily add nodes without downtime, manual data migration, or application logic reconfiguration, saving precious IT resources. And because Isilon storage is so easy to manage, it requires fewer IT resources for storage administration than traditional storage systems, which further reduces overall operating costs. Using CloudPools software you can lower costs by tiering cold or frozen data to a choice of public or private cloud options.
Simple Interoperability
With Isilon, you can streamline your storage infrastructure by consolidating large-scale unstructured data assets thus eliminating silos of storage. Isilon includes integrated support for a wide range of industry-standard protocols, including Internet Protocols IPv4, and IPv6, NFS, SMB, HTTP, FTP and HDFS. As a result, you can simplify workflows, accelerate business analytics projects, support cloud infrastructure initiatives, unlock data capital and get more value from your enterprise applications and data.
Enterprise Data Protection and Management Software
Massive stores of data present unique management challenges including disaster recovery, quota management and offsite replication. Isilon data protection and management software provides you with powerful tools that help you protect your data assets, control costs and optimize the storage resources and system performance of your big data environment.
