        Permanent Port Name: 21:00:00:1b:32:0e:0d:db
        Device type: Physical Initiator
        Port Index: 132
        Share Area: Yes
        Device Shared in Other AD: No

Isilon Scale-out NAS Introduction

The Isilon scale-out NAS storage platform combines modular hardware with unified software to tackle unstructured data. Powered by the OneFS operating system, a cluster delivers a scalable pool of storage with a global namespace.

The unified software platform provides centralized web-based and command-line administration to manage the following features:

• A cluster that runs a distributed file system
• Scale-out nodes that add capacity and performance
• Storage options that manage files and tiering
• Flexible data protection and high availability
• Software modules that control costs and optimize resources
