Isilon Offers Storage Management Apps in OneFS 6

Isilon has announced its sixth generation operating system, OneFS 6.0, and introduced two applications for simplifying data management in scale-out NAS environments: SmartPools and InsightIQ. As reported on InfoStor, SmartPools unifies multiple Isilon IQ systems, or storage tiers, under a single file system and volume with policy-based automated data movement between the tiers.

"The storage tiers can consist of Isilon's S-Series (tier 1), X-Series (tier 1 or 2) and NL-Series (tier 2 or 3) archiving platforms, with SAS drives in tier 1 systems and SATA drives in tier 2 and 3 systems. In Isilon's architecture, the tiers are linked via InfiniBand.

"Also as part of its OneFS rollout, Isilon introduced InsightIQ analytics software, which identifies performance bottlenecks on NAS systems."
