The introduction of Scale-Out NAS changed the landscape for building cost effective file serving solutions that can dynamically grow to meet today’s ever more demanding workloads. Initially these demands were driven by specialized applications that required extreme levels of performance or capacity for which the term Big Data was coined. Since then, unprecedented growth of unstructured data has made its way into the enterprise driving similar requirements around cost effective, massive capacity and the performance required to serve a new breed of enterprise applications. Isilon is the clear leader in Scale-Out NAS because of its unique ability to scale simply, effectively, and efficiently. Large and small enterprises that are beginning to realize the benefits of Scale-Out NAS are now looking for new ways to consume storage including new consumption models, private/public/hybrid cloud strategies, workload consolidation techniques, and so on. This calls for new platforms to be developed at a pace that matches market needs.
