As digital data grows beyond exabyte

An exabyte (derived from the SI prefix exa-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one quintillion bytes (short scale). The unit symbol for the exabyte is EB. When used with byte multiples, the unit indicates a power of 1000:
  • 1 EB = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 B = 1018 bytes = 1 billion gigabytes = 1 million terabytes

Companies like Isilon Systems seeks to control the management of this enormous industry and based on the 52 week constant increase in stock price its a great time to invest.

Please note, Isilon Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISLN) sells clustered data storage devices specialized for digital content such as images and videos. The company's clustered systems cater to the growth in digital data, such as images from scientific research and high-resolution videos from the media industry. Falling product prices per unit of storage capacity in the data storage market, in addition to the rapid increase in the amount of digital data that organizations are storing, have maintained the demand for Isilon's products. Its customers range from small and medium businesses to Fortune 500 companies. Unlike traditional data storage systems, a clustered data storage system combines the processing power and storage capacity of multiple, smaller storage servers. This increases the scalability of the storage system, since an information communication technology (ICT) organization can add additional storage servers as needed.
