 EMC vs Isilon
EMC, Isilon, Storage
Who uses Isilon? Has anyone seen a pros and cons list developed for Isilon? I'm doing some research on Isilon, EMC, and Pillar Systems. We are a media content driven organization and the content will be stored on one of the three or a combination of the three storage company's products. At the same time we are planning storage for our business content. Any news on Isilon other than their press releases and stuff from their marketing and sales department will help. Thanks WAM

I don’t have an info on Isilon. I’m a huge EMC fan however. What sort of IO will you be pushing to the system? With EMC, the solutions are fairly pricy, but when you purchase the correct platform the system will perform great for years.
