EMC Buys Isilon

Monday, November 15th, 2010

EMC has just acquired Isilon Systems for $2.25 billion in cash or approximately $33.85 per share. We have been hearing about this for some time but now it is official!  So what will happen with Isilon Systems now?  We use the Isilos storage for our cloud hosting storage platform.  Will we still be able to get our storage platform from Isilon?

Isilon is know for its “Scale-out NAS” storage systems.  This offers customers a scalable but low-cost storage infrastructure for managing a ton of data.  Clients who need Isilon’s data storage capabilities are typically very large storage clients like datacenters.

Isilon today announced that NetHosting has deployed Isilon scale-out storage to power its new cloud storage service. Using Isilon’s X-Series, powered by the OneFS operating system, NetHosting has consolidated its new cloud service operations onto a single, shared storage resource, simplifying data management to improve service quality and reduce operating costs. With Isilon, NetHosting can scale storage capacity and performance in lockstep with demand, enabling the hosting leader to deliver highly reliable, flexible and efficient cloud storage services to its growing customer base.

If any of you haven’t tried the new Isilon system you need to.  It’s worth it.  It makes everything work faster.

  • A single, scalable volume provides true operating leverage.
  • Isilon applications including SmartConnect and SmartQuotas simplify the administration of common cloud tasks such as balancing load across the system, have native support for on-demand storage and enforcing/reporting on actual end-user utilization.
  • With the ability to add capacity and/or performance in less than 60 seconds, Isilon enables you to balance spending with actual storage usage – key for a successful cloud business model.
  • With Isilon, you dramatically reduce management time with a single file-system and avoid spending your time managing multiple systems, multiple volumes and multiple filers.
  • The Isilon Scale-out storage platform enables you to support virtualization solutions and provide for shared access on the same storage device with varying degrees of isolation.
