ISilon
Isilon is a scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) platform originally developed by Isilon Systems and later acquired by EMC Corporation in 2010. It is designed to provide a unified storage solution for unstructured data, such as documents, images, videos, and backups. The core principle of Isilon is its ability to scale horizontally, meaning that storage capacity and performance can be increased by adding more nodes to the cluster. This architecture allows for a single, unified namespace across all nodes, simplifying data management and access.
Isilon storage operates on a distributed file system called OneFS. OneFS manages data distribution, redundancy, and
