NL-Series:
The NL-Series is designed to provide cost-effective, highly-scalable near-line storage. To achieve this, the NL-Series combines high density and efficiency, with massive capacity capabilities. The result is a highly economical scale-out storage solution at an extremely attractive price per TB of capacity and low overall TCO.
Current products: NL400, 36NL, 72NL, 108NL
Capacity: 252 TB to more than 15 PB
Density: 36 TB, 72 TB, or 108 TB per node
Use cases:
File archives: For economical storage and rapid disk-based access to reference data to meet business and legal requirements. Examples include financial services, insurance, email and general file data archiving.
Disaster recovery: When combined with Isilon SyncIQ™ replication software, a proven solution for organizations whose multi-site replication strategy requires an economical, high-capacity storage device to be located remotely.
Disk-to-disk backup: Can be combined with compression and deduplication technology to deliver a highly scalable, reliable, easy-to-manage and economical disk-based backup target. Performance extension nodes
EMC Isilon Performance Extension nodes allow you to easily scale performance to meet the specific needs of your business.
EMC Isilon Performance Accelerator: By adding the Isilon Performance Accelerator to an existing EMC Isilon S-Series or X-Series cluster, you can quickly add more than 400 MB per second of single-stream throughput and up to 700 MB per second of concurrent throughput for the most transactional access patterns.
EMC Isilon Backup Accelerator: The Isilon Backup Accelerator can be seamlessly added to any existing EMC Isilon cluster to deliver up to 480 MB/second of performance across four concurrent streams, speeding back-up operations and reducing the risk of business-critical data loss.
