New Systems Enable Quick Delivery of Mission Critical Information Relied
Upon by Corporations
and Local, State and Federal Government Agencies to
Make Critical and Lifesaving
Decisions
SEATTLE, Isilon(R) Systems, the leader in
clustered storage, today announced
that the United States Geological Survey
(USGS) has selected Isilon's IQ clustered storage system
as the primary
repository for its vast and rapidly growing collection of geo-referenced
information
-- data that includes aerial and satellite imagery, complex
geological models, and topographic, contour
and flood plain maps. The value of the USGS to
the Nation rests on its ability to carry out studies
on a national scale
and to sustain long-term monitoring and assessment of natural resources. By way
of built-in GeoMedia tools, the application
dynamically adds new spatial information during
the response
interval, such as updates to oil spill area and positions of
crews
and equipment.usace usgs

its vast, ever-expanding repositories of geological data.llek versamap
In contrast to its
legacy storage systems
which created separate silos of data that were
cumbersome to manage, Isilon IQ enables USGS to seamlessly
grow its storage
repository to more than 528 TB in a single, unified pool of storage that is
extremely
easy to manage. Together these
files provide a comprehensive view of areas that can be examined during
times of crisis, applied to scientific studies, or used for commercial
purposes such as verifying
property or insurance worthiness. "We expect to enhance
