Isilon Systems Case Study Sample

“We had a lot of data to process—over 8,000 images total, each running about 800 MB in size -- that we had to ‘mosaic’ together and balance, about 6.5 terabytes of total data,” said Jason Woodworth, Principal Imagery Analyst for the World Wind project. “This critical data not only needed to be stored in a single location, but made quickly available on demand to our engineers. In short, for the World Wind project, we needed the highest performing storage solution we could find.”

Isilon IQ combines Isilon’s OneFS operating system software with best-of-breed, industry-standard hardware to create a single file system that delivers unsurpassed reliability, scalability, performance and value. Isilon IQ is the first clustered storage system that can be seamlessly grown from 4 terabytes to 2.3 petabytes in a single file system and can scale up to 20 GB/second of throughput -- something that i-cubed definitely put to the test during the World Wind project.
