JLR selects EMC Isilon to drive its Simulation Operations
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE EMC Corporation has announced that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has deployed EMC Isilon scale-out NAS to simplify storage for its Big Data capacity and performance. The demand for new products in shorter timeframes whilst reducing dependency on physical testing had put pressure on JLR engineers to improve and streamline virtual simulation processes and deliver actionable analysis to the manufacturing teams. JLR evaluated a number of different solutions and selected an EMC Isilon scale-out NAS system due to its "no-compromise" approach to performance and capacity. The company deployed 54 nodes within the cluster of the Isilon X-Series platform, providing a central CAE storage area that mounts to the client infrastructure. The HPC clusters provide a single CAE data management solution for virtual simulation and physical tests. Additionally, JLR is using a separate Isilon NL-Series cluster for disaster recovery and backup, with Isilon Sy...
