EMC ISILON S-SERIES

The EMC® Isilon® S-Series, powered by the OneFS® operating system, uses a highly
versatile yet simple scale-out storage architecture to speed access to massive amounts
of critical data, while dramatically reducing cost and complexity. The Isilon S-Series is
EMC Isilon S200 comprised of two product lines: the Isilon S200 and S210. Both are high-performance
2U platforms that provide ultrafast primary storage for your file-based applications.
Performance: The Isilon S200 provides up to 2.0 million CIFS file operations per second
with over 160 gigabytes per second (GB/s) of aggregate throughput in a single cluster.
The Isilon S210 provides over 3.0M IOPS and 175GB/s of aggregate throughput per
EMC Isilon S210 cluster. To accomplish these extraordinary speeds, the S200 and S210 utilize high–
performance solid-state drive (SSD) and 10,000 RPM 2.5-inch Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS) drive technology, quad 1GbE or dual 1GbE and dual 10GbE front-end networking,
a high-performance InfiniBand back-end, and over 700 terabytes (TB) of globally
coherent cache in a single cluster.
Simplicity: You can install, configure, and have an Isilon S-Series cluster online in less
than 10 minutes. When needed, you can add a node to scale performance and capacity
in about a minute.
Efficiency: Isilon scale-out storage is highly efficient and delivers over 80 percent
storage utilization versus about 50 percent for traditional platforms. Isilon
SmartDedupe™ data deduplication software further enhances storage efficiency to
reduce your physical storage requirements and associated costs. With its impressive
performance benchmarks and resulting low cost per IOP, the Isilon S-Series offers
unmatched value for a performance platform.
Security: With optional FIPS 140-2 level 2 self-encrypting drives, the Isilon S210 allows
you to meet regulatory and compliance needs for securing data at rest without
sacrificing performance or usability.
