IDC also predicts this figure to balloon to eight zettabytes worth of data by 2015, while file-based data will grow 75X in the next decade. With such staggering growth rates, it is clear there has never been more data available - or a greater imperative to access, analyze and distribute it more efficiently. =0A =0AEspecially in high-performance computing (HPC) environments, data stores can grow extremely rapidly and though compute server technology has kept pace, storage has not, creating a barrier between researchers and their data. This session will examine how implementing Isilon scale-out storage can eliminate the storage bottleneck in HPC and put data immediately into the hands of those who need it most.
