PowerScale OneFS is the operating system that provides the intelligence behind all Isilon scale-out storage systems, combining three layers of traditional storage architectures.
PowerScale OneFS 9.4 provides an additional option for data transfer, including transfers to object storage targets. This design creates a single, intelligent, distributed file system that runs on a OneFS powered storage cluster. In addition to unlocking the potential of unstructured data, OneFS provides the ability to store, manage, protect, secure, and analyze data all while running a variety of applications. OneFS is a scalable, high-performance, modular storage architecture that enables data innovation.
New features and functionality to PowerScale OneFS 9.4 include:
| Feature | Description |
| SmartSync Data Mover |
|
| IB to Ethernet Backend Migration |
|
| Secure Boot |
|
| Smarter SmartConnect Diagnostics |
|
| In-line Dedupe |
|
| Healthcheck Auto-updates |
|
| CloudIQ Protocol Statistics |
|
| SRS Alerts and CELOG Event Limiting |
|
| CloudPools Statistics |
|
OneFS works exclusively with dedicated platform nodes, referred to as a “cluster.” A single cluster consists of multiple nodes, which are rack-mountable enterprise appliances containing: memory, CPU, networking, Ethernet or low-latency InfiniBand interconnects, disk controllers, and storage media. As such, each node in the distributed cluster has compute, and storage or capacity capabilities.
A complete cluster is combined with hardware, software, networks
With built-in interoperability, OneFS solutions are provision capacity in minutes to a cluster. A single volume, single filesystem, and single namespace enable consolidation of data and elimination of storage silos. Regardless of the number of nodes in a cluster, a OneFS powered solution allows users to store and manage petabytes of data with a single admin.
With support for protocols like NFS, SMB, S3, and HDFS, users can simultaneously run applications that require file and object protocols on the same dataset which helps maximize the value of data in a Data First world.
