The explosion of unstructured, file-based data was a phenomenon first experienced by users in specialised markets, but it is now manifest in organisations of all shapes and sizes. Technological breakthroughs that have allowed us to create and process vast quantities of data are creating both a challenge and an opportunity. Organisations are struggling to find more cost-effective means of managing “Big Data”, but are also benefitting by leveraging this data to create competitive advantage and engender customer loyalty. Organisations want a new type of storage system that supports Big Data and cloud requirements with speed, scalability and elasticity. With a heritage firmly rooted in grid computing and storage virtualisation, EMC Isilon scale-out storage is ideally suited for rapidly-scaling environments. Come and hear how.
