(1) Usable capacity will be lower than the raw capacity reflected in this specification sheet.
(2) Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) option is available for all available capacity and cache drive types (HDD and SSD). Isilon cluster must be running OneFS version 8.1.0.1 to support Gen6 SED drives. 12 TB drives in H5600 are non SED.
(3) Effective capacity is based on an 80% storage utilization rate. Actual storage utilization will vary by configuration. For Isilon F810, effective capacity is also based on a data compression ratio of up to 3:1. The actual data compression ratio will vary by dataset.
(4) Depth NEMA: Front NEMA rail to rear 2.5” SSD cover ejector.
(5) Depth: Front of bezel to rear 2.5” SSD cover ejector.
Product Attributes
Scale-Out Architecture Distributed, fully symmetric clustered architecture that combines modular storage with Isilon intelligent software
Modular Design 4 self-contained nodes include compute assembly and storage media in a 4U rack-mountable chassis. Integrates easily into existing Isilon clusters
Operating System Isilon OneFS distributed file system: creates a cluster with a single file system and single global namespace; fully journaled, fully distributed, globally coherent write/read cache
High Availability No single point of failure; self-healing design protects against disk or node failure; includes back-end intra-cluster failover
Scalability
With Isilon OneFS 8.2 and higher, Isilon clusters scale from 4 to 252 nodes in a single cluster. Add an additional chassis to scale performance and capacity in about a minute. Isilon F800 scales from 4 to 144 nodes in a single
cluster with up to 33 PB capacity (raw). Isilon F810 scales from 4 to 144 nodes in a single cluster with up to 33 PB capacity (raw) and up to 79.6 PB of effective storage capacity
