Isilon Infinity/ONEFS 8.1

Dell EMC's Isilon scale-out NAS platform for unstructured data is getting a new architecture called Infinity. With Infinity, Isilon gets a 6X improvement in IOs per second performance and an 11X improvement in throughput, the company said. The new Infinity architecture gives Isilon its first modular scale-out storage capability with separate compute and storage nodes to allow compute and storage to scale independently of each other within a single chassis. The company is also introducing its first all-flash Isilon offering. The new Isilon, scheduled to ship in June, also squeezes what used to require 16U of rack space into 4U.
