Currently over 5000 clients are simultaneously accessing the NAS; however, this will double in the next year.
Based on this information, what recommendations for a new Isilon cluster would you give to the customer based on this information?

A) Create a three node cluster today. As more clients are added, add three additional nodes each time for 1000 clients.
B) Create a five node X400 cluster today. As more clients are added, add a Performance Accelerator node for every 1000 clients.
C) Create a six node X400 cluster today. As additional clients are added, add additional X400 nodes for them.
D) Create a seven node X400 cluster today. You will not need to purchase additional nodes as more clients are added.

You have determined that incorporating an Isilon cluster into their Hadoop environment would help in reducing this footprint.Which Hadoop components can be consolidated onto the Isilon cluster to reduce the footprint?

A) NameNode and TaskTracker
B) DataNode and NameNode
C) ComputeNode and NameNode
D) DataNode and ComputeNode


3. -- Exhibit -
A large manufacturing company is an existing Isilon customer with a cluster consisting of four NL400 nodes with 4TB drives. The cluster is using N+2:1 protection level and the file system shows that it is 60% utilized. Home directories and file shares comprise 75% of the existing content and the remainder is inactive deep archive. The company has 1,000 employees using Windows and Mac clients participating in a single Active Directory (AD) forest.
During a meeting with the CIO and Director of IT you discuss the company's recent acquisition - an engineering firm that specializes in Computer Aided Design (CAD). The engineering firm has 400 UNIX workstations that produce technical drawings which are currently stored on another vendor's SAN solution. The all UNIX environment uses NIS for authentication and name resolution. They do not currently use DNS or LDAP. The engineering company has an old storage system that has been experiencing problems and the CIO would like you to migrate the data onto the Isilon cluster. The CIO would like to eliminate all tape and recover the data onto disk.
The CIO is concerned about security of the company's intellectual property, especially with the rapid adoption of mobile devices and external cloud content sharing services such as DropBox, Egnyte, and SugarSync. They would like to implement an alternative that provides external file sharing and mobile device synchronization while maintaining security control over the company's data.
The Director of IT reports that users are storing non-work related content on the Isilon cluster. They would like to limit the amount of capacity that each user can consume in their home directory and want to ensure you provide the capability to easily visualize which users are over their allotment. The company's Windows users currently leverage Windows Shadow Copy to recover files that have been accidentally deleted. The IT department wants to ensure that Mac and incoming UNIX clients have the same functionality.
The Director of IT also mentions that users are reporting slow response times when browsing their home directories and shared folders. They are concerned that Isilon cannot scale to support their combined requirements.
The customer provides the following environment summary from the engineering firm's recently departed IT staff:
20 TB of Home Directory data
100 TB of active CAD projects
400 TB of archived data stored on tape at an offsite warehouse -- Exhibit -
Based on the meeting with the customer, which Isilon cluster configuration would you recommend?

A) 6 x X400 nodes with 36 x 4TB drives 1 x Backup Accelerator
B) 9 x S200 nodes with 2 x SSD and 22 x 900GB SAS
C) 4 x NL400 nodes with 36 x 4TB drives
D) 4 x X400 nodes with 2 x SSD and 34 x 4TB drives 1 x Additional NL400


4. You are sizing an Isilon cluster for a new customer. Analyzing their workflow you determine that they have a large block random read workload.What is the most important factor to consider when sizing this solution?
