EMC has just acquired Isilon Systems for $2.25 billion in cash or approximately $33.85 per share. We have been hearing about this for some time but now it is official! So what will happen with Isilon Systems now? We use the Isilos storage for our cloud hosting storage platform. Will we still be able to get our storage platform from Isilon?
Isilon is know for its “Scale-out NAS” storage systems. This offers customers a scalable but low-cost storage infrastructure for managing a ton of data. Clients who need Isilon’s data storage capabilities are typically very large storage clients like datacenters.
