Dell EMC empowers the creation,
management and delivery of content
As new media technologies such
as 4K/Ultra HD (UHD) are being
introduced or planned in Asia,
underlying storage infrastructures
must effectively scale to keep up
with expanding performance re-
quirements.
The broadcast and media in-
dustries are also under pressure to
manage the exponential growth of
content, demand for multi-platform
content delivery, rigorous global
production schedules and transition
to all-IP media operations.
According to Dell EMC, these
are the reasons that have com-
pelled the company to bring a
“comprehensive suite” of storage
solutions to BroadcastAsia2017, the
highlight of which is a new genera-
tion of Isilon scale-out NAS systems
based on an “Infinity” architecture.
The new generation of Isilon
systems include all-flash, hybrid
and archive configurations that
allow enterprise customers to take
on a wide range of new, more

demanding unstructured data
applications; achieve faster busi-
ness outcomes; store, manage and
protect “massively large” data sets
with ease; and gain new levels of
efficiency, says Manuvir Das, SVP
and GM, Unstructured Data Stor-
age at Dell EMC.
The availability of these new
systems could not have come at
a better time, Das adds, saying:
“As the digital economy extends
its reach, an IT strategy is quickly
becoming a critical advantage (or
disadvantage) for businesses.
“The need to support the un-
constrained scale and massive
performance requirements of
powerful applications of today and
tomorrow is putting IT organisa-
tions everywhere under pressure.”
With the “Infinity” architecture,
new levels of performance and
scalability are brought to the Isilon
platform, which can now deliver up
to 6x the IOPs, 11x the throughput
and 2x the capacity of its predeces-
sor. It also enables Isilon to provide
9x the IOPs, 18x the throughput
and 21x the capacity of compet-
ing solutions in the market, says
Dell EMC.
This new generation of Isilon
systems is powered by the Isilon
OneFS operating system, which of-
fers “high storage efficiency, robust
data protection and strong data
management capabilities.” The new
systems can also be integrated with
customers’ existing Isilon clusters,
or deployed as a new cluster.
Customers can choose from the
following configurations:
n All-flash, which offers the
Isilon F800, designed for the most
demanding and unstructrued data
applications and workflows.
n Hybrid, which offers the Isilon
H600, Isilon H500 and Isilon H400
hybrid storage platforms. These
systems deliver up to 120k IOPs,
3Gbps-12Gbps bandwidth and up
to 480TB capacity per chassis.
n Archive, which offers the Isi-
lon A200 and Isilon A2000 archive
systems, designed to address the
growing need for efficient and
secure long-term data retention by
providing options for both active
and deep archive storage.
At booth 42Q-05, Dell EMC
is also highlighting its range of
Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) solu-
tions, while a joint workshop with
Grass Valley will also be held today
at 11.30am at meeting room 311.
