October 5th, 2005 - "Isilon and Clustered Storage"

Speaker

• Dan Cote, Isilon Regional Manager
  Mike Bott, Isilon SE
  http://www.isilon.com/

Whether you're a studio technolgy expert or just someone trying to figure out what NAS, SAN, and clustered file storage mean, this is a must-see event!

Studios are turning to clustered storage because large digital files are overwhelming traditional storage systems. Digital content consumes large amounts of storage capacity, grows much faster than traditional data stores, requires high throughput, and often needs high concurrency.

Isilon IQ provides NAS-level simplicity and capacity with the SAN-level performance needed for digital content environments. Combining a distributed file system with modular, industry-standard hardware, Isilon provides four to eight times higher total sustained throughput than traditional enterprise-class storage systems at about half the cost.

Isilon users include ABC, Ceders-Sinai, CinemaNow, Corbis, Digital Dimension, Digital Filmworks, DNA, E! Networks, FotoKem,NBC Sports, Paramount, Rhythm & Hues, Sony Pictures Imageworks, and Technicolor.
