Introduction Isilon Architecture | Power scale Architecture | Isilon administration and Management

Starting at the Client/Application layer, the Isilon NAS architecture supports mixed modes. Windows, UNIX, and OSX operating systems can all connect to an Isilon cluster and access the same files. At the networking level, the Isilon OneFS operating system supports key industry-standard protocols over Ethernet, including network file shares, Server Message Block (SMB), HTTP, FTP, Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) for data analytics, SWIFT, and REST for object and cloud computing requirements. As a file-based storage system, Isilon does not support protocols associated with block-based data. The next logical level would be the nodes. Nodes are combined into one volume by the OneFS operating system. All information is shared among nodes, thus allowing a client to connect to any node in the cluster and access any directory in the file system. And finally on the back end, all the nodes are connected with either an InfiniBand fabric switch (for Generation 5 and Generation 6 clusters) or with an 40Gb Ethernet network (Generation 6 clusters only) for low-latency internal communication with one another.
