Flexibility and Simplicity, All in a Single File System

eDiscovery service providers require very high storage performance for ingest and processing, as well as less expensive, lower performance tier of storage for long term archival needs.  With limited IT staff and unpredictable needs, a storage solution that requires very little time and resources to manage is critical. 

Isilon is the only storage technology that provides scalable performance and capacity in a single volume that is simple to use and manage. Isilon also incorporates automated storage tiering within a single volume, making it an ideal solution for eDiscovery service providers.

Simplicity

Isilon is simple to manage and stays that way. With varying types of data, a single volume with different tiers of storage saves management time and makes it simple to change protection levels on a directory or file level.

Agility

Because each node in an Isilon storage cluster is capable of processing metadata, it has great performance on small files. For workflows that require even greater performance, Isilon offers an SSD option for storing metadata.

Consolidation

With a single file system, you can use Isilon for eDiscovery storage as well as backup, archive, and virtualization and home directories. Utilizing Isilon scale-out storage for multiple workflows eliminates even more complexity in your datacenter freeing your time for critical business tasks.

Data Protection

With a single file system you can easily change protection levels at the directory or file level. Isilon applications provide point in time snapshot capability and support moving data in its native state while preserving metadata information.  The Isilon scale-out storage platform is archtected with self-healing capabilities.
