JLR selects EMC Isilon to drive its Simulation Operations
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 SyncIQ software application providing asynchronous data replication between the primary X-Series cluster and remote NL-Series cluster.
Sam Grocott, vice president, marketing, EMC Isilon said, "JLR produces some of the best luxury SUV's and sports cars the industry has to offer. They need a storage solution to match the rapid advances in simulation technology to help sort through the resulting Big Data. EMC Isilon delivers a simple, flexible and scalable platform that JLR has leveraged to maximize performance and capacity, while simplifying management and lowering overall environmental impact of their operations."
