DELL EMC ISILON ONEFS OPERATING SYSTEM The Dell EMC Isilon OneFS® operating system provides the intelligence behind all Isilon scale-out storage systems. It combines the three layers of traditional storage architectures—file system, volume manager, and data protection—into one unified software layer, creating a single intelligent file system that spans all nodes within a cluster. OneFS is a single file system, single volume architecture, which makes it extremely easy to manage, regardless of the number of nodes in your Isilon storage cluster. Isilon storage systems powered by OneFS are simple to install, manage, and scale.
