ISILON TO EXHIBIT WORLD-CLASS NET. STORAGE SYSTEM AT GSAM03

Isilon Systems, a provider of intelligent storage systems for digital content, announced that it will demonstrate its Isilon IQ network storage system Nov. 10-11 at the first annual Global Society for Asset Management conference, in booth number 220 at the New York Hilton Hotel.

Introduced publicly last month, Isilon IQ is the industry's first network storage system designed specifically for digital content-centric businesses, such as those in media and entertainment, digital imaging, content delivery and health care. Isilon IQ will be of keen interest to GSAM attendees, as the solution's unique OneFS distributed file system and clustered architecture make it easy to grow capacity, performance and realize significant cost savings from a single shared pool of storage. Leading companies such as Paramount, Corbis, Digital FilmWorks, ResearchChannel and others have purchased and deployed Isilon IQ to produce, deliver and archive their digital content assets.

"The topic of asset management for digital content is extremely relevant to Isilon, and we are eager to demonstrate the benefits we bring to companies that are struggling with the high costs and complexity of traditional storage in those environments today," said Sujal Patel, Isilon founder and chief technology officer. "GSAM attendees will get a first-hand look at how a system designed specifically for digital assets can make managing and growing storage faster, simpler and cost less than anything they have experienced to-date."

GSAM03 is the first in a series of international conferences and focuses on the important role asset management plays as digital content increases. The event is designed for senior executives from vertical industries including entertainment, broadcast, publishing, automotive, education, financial services, oil and gas, federal and Fortune 500.
