ISILON AUTOBALANCE

EXPANDABILITY / UPGRADEABILITY

• AutoBalance automatically moves content to new

storage nodes

• No server, client mount point or application

changes

• Eliminates “hot spots”

• Enables unmatched storage capacity utilization

of more than 80%

Automated data balancing across nodes reduces

costs, complexity, and risks for scaling storage

HIGHLY RESILIENT, CLUSTERED ARCHITECTURE

DATA PROTECTION AND AVAILABILITY

100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% FAILED FAILED

With N+2, N+3, and

N+4 protection,

data is 100% available

if multiple drives or

nodes fail

With N+1 protection,

d

ata is 100% available

even if a single drive

or node fails

And with Isilon, the

more nodes in the

cluster, the faster

drive rebuild time

In-place analytics

• Native integration speeds time to insight

Enterprise data protection

• Fast snapshots, backup, and data recovery

• Simple, efficient data replication for disaster recovery

Lower costs

• Eliminates the need for dedicated Hadoop infrastructure

• Much more efficient than DAS-based approach

Increase flexibility

• Simultaneous support for any Apache-compliant Hadoop distribution

• Ambari integration for management, monitoring, and provisioning

THE ISILON ADVANTAGE FOR HADOOP

(22)

Anticipate Growth

Start with storage architecture aligned to your Rhythm Archive objectives

Protect

Based on value/risk, implement proper data protection strategies

Maximize Efficiency

Tier data to lower-cost storage if rapid access not required

*

Extract Additional Information

Analytics to reduce cost and/or deliver additional value

Plan for the future

Enable easy tech refreshes and migrations

*

If regulatory compliance permits
