Isilon Clustered Storage Systems Integrate with Citrix Application Delivery
Infrastructure Solutions to Maximize IT Resource Value in Next-Generation
Data Center
SEATTLE, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Isilon(R) Systems (Nasdaq:
ISLN), the leader in clustered storage, today announced that Isilon's
X-Series clustered storage systems have been verified as Citrix Ready(TM)
for XenServer. Isilon's clustered storage systems create a high performance
and highly scalable, single, shared pool of storage, delivering up to 20
Gigabytes per second of performance and 2.3 Petabytes of capacity in a
single file system and single volume. By combining Isilon clustered storage
with Citrix XenServer(TM), enterprises can eliminate traditional storage as
a bottleneck and create a fully virtualized infrastructure -- from servers
to storage -- which increases data center flexibility and utilization while
reducing costs.
"Citrix XenServer server virtualization makes datacenters more agile
and efficient through faster application delivery, higher levels of
availability and improved utilization of IT resources," said John Bryan,
Director, Business Development, Citrix Systems. "Isilon IQ's verification
with our Citrix Ready program attests to its compatibility with Citrix
XenServer environments, providing our customers with a compelling solution
for maximizing the value of their server and storage resources."
"The enterprise data center is in the midst of a change from legacy
scale- up architectures to scale out environments. Virtualization has been
a key driver of this shift at the computer level while clustered storage is
now driving the same transition at the data level," said Paul Rutherford,
CTO, Isilon Systems. "Isilon's X-Series clustered storage systems integrate
with Citrix XenServer to provide enterprise business with a complete scale
out environment to increase productivity, flexibility and resource
utilization within the next generation data center."
By combining Citrix XenServer with Isilon X-Series clustered storage
systems, enterprise businesses can obtain the efficiency and high
availability that Citrix XenServer offers in the storage environment while
eliminating the barriers associated with traditional storage. This
integration provides a scale out, virtualized IT infrastructure with
servers, network connections, and storage all consolidated into single
points of management, improving scalability, performance and ease of use
across the entire data center, while reducing costs and complexity.
Powered by OneFS(R), Isilon IQ X-Series delivers the industry's first
single file system that unifies and provides instant and ubiquitous access
to the rapidly growing stores of file-based data, setting the standard for
scale out file storage. OneFS is a unified operating system software layer
