Isilon Express: Show Your Customers the Solution to Unstructured Data Challenges

Organizations in every industry are experiencing accelerated data growth; for a typical organization the amount of data doubles every two or three years. And approximately 80% of all new data being created is unstructured data.

What is unstructured data? 

Generally, it’s any data that is not in a structured database—documents, videos, images, email, etc.  It’s also application- and IT-related data, including logs (including website traffic, e-mail, employee attendance, sales call center activity, customer support, instrumentation), system events on servers and networks and much more.

More than 7,000 customers have already discovered that Dell Isilon is the ideal platform to store, manage, protect and analyze unstructured data. 

Dell Isilon is the leader in scale-out NAS as recognized by industry analysts.  Designed for a wide range of next-generation applications and unstructured workloads, Isilon delivers exceptional performance, easy capacity scalability, multi-protocol access and cloud tiering.

For organizations of all sizes, the unstructured data struggle is real … Isilon Express can help your smaller customers.

While organizations of every size struggle to contain their unstructured data, smaller organizations may be reticent to purchase Isilon because they have concerns about starting capacity points, entry price or TCO.  Meanwhile, they struggle with silos of data that are inefficient and costly to manage, growing storage requirements that exceed the capabilities of their existing infrastructure, limited data center space, and continual pressure to keep CapEx and OpEx low.
