Clustering for servers and storage isn't new, but the need for increased throughput and storage capacity forces vendors to keep upgrading systems, notes storage analyst Tom Coughlin, president of Coughlin Associates. Isilon and Symantec are both using clustering to extend their systems to offer higher performance and more capacity at a lower cost and with greater flexibility.

"Both products extend each company's core strengths and target markets."
