DOE JGI’s use of Isilon scale-out NAS on redOrbit

By unifying its DNA sequencing operations onto 2PB of the Isilon IQ 72000X, the JGI has centralized data access. With its leading-edge, highly data-intensive R&D work powered by a separate, Isilon IQ 5000S-SSD cluster, the JGI’s DNA sequencing operations have a unified and dedicated storage resource, eliminating data fragmentation and performance bottlenecks to help speed… [Read More]
