2.5 Isilon Storage
Dell EMC Isilon is a proven scale-out network attached storage (NAS) solution that can handle the unstructured
data prevalent in many different workflows. The Isilon storage architecture automatically aligns application
needs with performance, capacity, and economics. As performance and capacity demands increase, both can
be scaled simply and non-disruptively, allowing applications and users to continue working.
Dell EMC Isilon OneFS operating system powers all Dell EMC Isilon scale-out NAS storage solutions and has
the following features.
A high degree of scalability, with grow-as-you-go flexibility
High efficiency to reduce costs
Multi-protocol support such as SMB, NFS, HTTP and HDFS to maximize operational flexibility
Enterprise data protection and resiliency
Robust security options
The recommended Isilon storage is Isilon F800 all-flash scale-out NAS storage. Dell EMC Isilon F800 all-flash
Scale-out NAS storage is uniquely suited for modern Deep Learning applications delivering the flexibility to deal
with any data type, scalability for data sets ranging in the PBs, and concurrency to support the massive

can scale-out up to 68 PB with up to 540 GB/s of performance in a single cluster. This allows Isilon to accelerate
AI innovation with faster model training, provide more accurate insights with deeper data sets, and deliver a
The Isilon storage can be used if the local NFS storage capacity is insufficient for the environment. If the Isilon
is used in conjunction with the local NFS storage, user home directories and project results can be stored on
