EMEA

- Isilon's Channel Partner Ecosystem Grows to 35 Companies as European 
Market Demand for Clustered Storage Rises

Leveraging the accelerating enterprise demand for scalable, robust 
clustered storage solutions for digital content and unstructured data, 
Isilon(R) Systems (NASDAQ: ISLN), the leader in clustered storage, today 
reported impressive market growth resulting from its operations in EMEA. 
Since launching operations in July 2006, Isilon's European offices have 
played a key role in increasing Isilon's total base to more than 500 
customers worldwide.

In conjunction with Isilon's presence at IBC 2007 in Amsterdam, Isilon
today announced that leading European media and entertainment and Web 2.0
companies, including Ascent Media Group, Cinesite-UK, Dailymotion, Escape
Studios, MPC (The Moving Picture Company), Fugitive Studios, Glasshouse,
Fluid, NedStat, Skyrock, Smoke & Mirrors, Random House, Channel 4, Hit
Entertainment and TV1.de, are among customers using Isilon IQ clustered
storage to accelerate digital media workflows and maximize the business value
of critical media assets during a period of profound change in the media and
entertainment industry. To meet the growing demand for Isilon clustered
storage in EMEA, Isilon also today announced that more than 35 leading
channel resellers and distribution companies have joined Isilon's channel
sales network.

"In just a short 15 months, we have built a thriving channel partner
ecosystem that, in combination with our own talented and experienced sales
force, has enabled us to acquire new, enterprise customers at an accelerating
rate as we deliver the breakthrough benefits of clustered storage to leading
businesses across Europe, the Middle East and Africa," said Steve Jenkins,
Vice President and General Manager, EMEA, Isilon Systems. "The roster of
media and entertainment companies we are announcing today at IBC reflects
that growth in a key market segment, underscoring the clear scalability,
performance and significant cost advantages that Isilon provides to companies
seeking to maximize their digital content networks around Web 2.0, advanced
computing architectures and increasing penetration of HD broadcasting."

Among Isilon's growing customer base in EMEA is Dailymotion, Europe's
leading independent provider of online video content, which has deployed
Isilon IQ as the primary storage repository for the massive catalog of media
content its users access, upload and download, 24x7x365. Dailymotion, which
hosted more than 37.6 million unique users in June 2007 [Source: Xiti Expert,
June 2007], is using Isilon IQ to unify its rapidly expanding data stores
into a single, highly scalable, shared pool of storage, enabling Dailymotion
to fuel its accelerating growth while reducing cost and complexity.

"At Dailymotion, we deliver video content worldwide, enabling millions of
visitors to access content simultaneously -- which necessitates 24x7
availability of always-online content," said Matthieu Blumberg dit Fleurmont,
System Architect, DailyMotion. "Early in our development, we found
traditional storage systems were too complex and limited in scale to meet our
massive data growth and performance demands. Meanwhile, Isilon's clustered
storage systems deliver the scalability, ease of use and concurrent data
throughput we require to power our around-the-clock operations and provide
our users with access to content."

"Isilon clustered storage is the product I've been waiting for all my
life," said Mark Wildig, CTO, Smoke & Mirrors. "With a unified global
namespace, symmetric clustered architecture enabling linear scaling of
performance and capacity, and ease of use that requires very low levels of
oversight and management, Isilon IQ delivers all we need to advance our
business. We have 11 flames writing to the cluster and up to 4 streams of
uncompressed SD reading out to VT all day long and we never drop a frame.
Isilon IQ is the best piece of technology I have ever purchased."
