Isilon Systems , Seattle’s leader in clustered storage, has announced 10 new additions to its growing community of customers who are driving innovation in the emerging world of Web 2.0 content and services. Linden Lab (creator of the Second Life 3D virtual world), Current TV, Dailymotion, FlipClip, Imeem, Jump TV, Pandora TV, PhotoBox, Revver and Skyrock are the latest companies to select Isilon IQ clustered storage as the core technology for access and storage of the ever-expanding user-created digital content assets that are a hallmark of the next generation of Internet interactivity.”The emergence of Web 2.0 is ushering in a breakthrough in human-Internet interaction that is marked by massive amounts of content — content created not just for users but by users. This has far-reaching implications for commerce, human relationships and the role of technology in people’s lives,” said Sujal Patel, founder and chief technology officer, Isilon Systems. “The continuing trend of Web 2.0 innovators basing their digital content storage and access solutions on Isilon IQ technology is validation of our scalable, reliable software-based clustered systems.”
The digital content explosion is manifested not only in the immense size of digital content files, but also by the graphically-rich, highly-interactive nature of the Web 2.0 world. The emergence of photo- and video-sharing sites, such as Current TV, Dailymotion, FlipClip, Imeem, PhotoBox, Revver and Skyrock, and the creation of interactive communities and 3D virtual worlds such as Second Life, all involve producing, storing and accessing immense volumes of digital assets — in the form of images, textures, audio, video and other types of digital content.
