SEATTLE, Nov. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Isilon® (Nasdaq:
ISLN) today announced that WhiteHat Security has deployed Isilon
scale-out storage to power its SaaS-based website risk management
solution. Using Isilon's X-Series, WhiteHat has unified its IT
infrastructure to better manage more than 2,900 websites on a

WhiteHat's ability to eliminate website risk for its growing

"Our clients depend on us to ensure they have the most current
information on their website security posture 24x7x365, so data
storage reliability and uptime is very important to our success,"
said Marc Winner, Director of IT,
WhiteHat. "By moving to Isilon, we barely have to manage the system
at all and haven't experienced even a minute of downtime. Now we
can focus on continued innovation rather than our storage
system."
WhiteHat's website risk management solutions protect critical
data, ensure compliance and narrow the window of risk for hundreds
of customers in e-commerce, financial services, information
technology and healthcare. Working with Isilon channel partner
FusionStorm, WhiteHat deployed Isilon's X-Series, featuring its

management of its previous NAS. With Isilon, WhiteHat has
consolidated its entire IT infrastructure on a single file system
and point of management, minimizing storage administration, while
