Overview
Single File System for Multiple Tiers with Automated Data Movement
With SmartPools™, multiple tiers of Isilon scale-out NAS nodes (including S-Series, X-Series, and NL-Series) can exist within a single file system, with a single point of management, enabling you to right-size and accelerate working sets while automatically and transparently moving inactive data to more cost-effective storage.
SmartPools unlocks the ability to aggregate and consolidate applications, providing workflow isolation, higher utilization, and independent scalability–all with a single point of management. SmartPools is policy-driven, so you can define the value of the data within workflows and SmartPools will automatically align the data to the appropriate price/performance tier over time.
