This is one of the fastest storage array in the world and its support the maximum system. EMC PowerMax NVMe flash drive has 25 percent better response time. This storage is well suited for large scale database and application where need more storage capacity and high data I/O performance to run smooth.

It is well suited for scale out NAS storage. One can use Rest API calls to get relevant data. It can be used in the product SRM, where one can discover arrays from Isilon/PowerScale and can monitor the reports. One can monitor Capacity and Performance reports of the array.

  • In my experience, I have seen a lot of bugs in the oneFS and for remedying it, we need to install patches which requires a node reboot.
  • In old isilon OneFS versions, the nodes need to be rebooted every 250 days which is quite less compared to other storage devices.
  • The operational cost of Isilon is a bit on the higher side.

Stacks up very well. In storage bake off's, evaluating these products as a whole, PowerMax normally outpaces the vast majority.

Isilon is immensely more scalable than Celerra and gave us better control over snapshots and replication. The addition of global deduplication provides a huge space savings benefit as well.

  • We are currently researching other vendors for our Medical imaging archives due to issues with space utilization efficiency on Isilon.
