A potential customer requires 800 TB of usable capacity to store medical images for their network of health clinics. The IT department has limited staff and currently manages four storage arrays from other vendors. During a meeting with the Director of IT you learn that the company is considering a solution from a competitor of EMC using two of the existing arrays and two new arrays.Which Isilon capabilities would show a better ROI for the customer?

• A. With a single filesystem and virtual capacity for drive and node failures, Isilon utilization is typically
  80% or higher.
  OneFS compression results in higher effective capacity within the cluster.
  Traditional clustered filesystems require 4%-10% internal overhead compared to Isilon virtual
  capacity.
• B. Isilon has 15%-20% less overhead than traditional clustered filesystems.
  According to an IDC study, Isilon utilization is nearly 50% higher than traditional competitors.
  Isilon QOS headroom and multiple node pools ensures consistent performance up to 80%
  utilization.
• C. Isilon has 6%-12% less filesystem overhead than traditional clustered filesystem solutions.
  With a single filesystem and virtual capacity for drive and node failures, Isilon utilization is typically
  80% or higher.
  Isilon utilization is typically 80% or higher due to use of a single filesystem and virtual capacity for
  drive and node failures.
• D. Forward Error Correction overhead is 7% lower than traditional RAID.
  Isilon has 6%-12% less filesystem overhead than traditional clustered filesystem solutions.
  According to an IDC study, Isilon improves IT productivity by nearly 50% compared to traditional competitors.

-- Exhibit -
A European Sports TV network is considering Isilon for their Media Edit Storage for their editing workloads. They are also considering Isilon for near-line media archiving.
The network receives XDCAM HD footage which is loaded onto their existing Transcoding Storage platform. New footage that needs to be edited will be transferred from their Transcoding Storage platform to the proposed Media Edit Storage platform at the rate of ten simultaneous XDCAM HD files via FTP. Edited files will be transferred back to the Transcoding Storage platform at the rate of ten simultaneous XDCAM HD files via FTP.
The network currently has 15 Final Cut Pro edit stations, 15 Avid edit stations. Proxy software will be used to allow Isilon to act as the storage for the Final Cut Pro and Avid media. Three of those edit stations will be performing content compositing as needed.
The network expects 70 hours of new content per week, and 50 hours of edited content per week. They intend to keep the new and edited content on the proposed Media Edit Storage as a performance tier for 30 days. They would like to retain all new and edited footage proposed Media Edit Storage as a near-line tier for two years.
In addition to the current workloads, the network expects to implement a new Media Asset Management (MAM) solution and has requested the Isilon cluster be capable of supporting 120 MBps read and 120 MBps write to support the MAM requirements.

The customer wants to be able to put completed content into a non-editable folder. However, they want to give access to an administrator to delete content if required. What do you recommend to the customer?

• A. SmartLock using Compliance mode
• B. SyncIQ with read-only mode
• C. SmartLock using Enterprise mode
• D. WORM using Compliance mode

A potential customer has 540TB Raw capacity of NetApp running in ONTAP 7-Mode. They are willing to let you gather some workload data. Their authentication sources are LDAP and Active Directory. Their users are primarily Windows Clients. They are very interested in Automated Tiering and Large Scale Archives. They are not certain about the workflows from the Marketing Department. The Content Team will only say they need to acquire 300 TB within 90 days. They do not know the average file size or the number of aggregates they are managing.
Which tool(s) would you use next to complete your sizing?

• A. Isilon Cluster Sizing Tool
• B. MiTrend WPA, Autosupport, and PerfCollect
• C. Isilon Insight IQ, OnCommand Insight, and nfsstat
• D. Wireshark, isi statistics, and iostat

You will be meeting with the Corporate Security Team as part of the implementation planning for a new Isilon cluster deployment. The Lead Security Analyst has asked you to discuss the Authentication Sources on your Isilon Cluster.
What customer questions regarding Isilon-supported Authentication Sources do you need to be prepared to answer?

• A. What mechanism are you using for NFS authentication?
  Do you have multiple AD domain support?
  What versions of LDAP are supported?
• B. What mechanism are you using for NFS authentication?
  Do you support Novell Directory Services?
  What implementations of LDAP are supported?
• C. Is the cluster X.400 compliant?
  What firewall rules are in place to prevent data leakage?
  Is there a audit trail for access zone configuration changes?
• D. Are you using File Services for UNIX in your AD environment?
  Do you support NIS+ for NFS authentication?
  Do you support multiple Access Zones connecting to the AD Domain?

A company currently has numerous file servers providing home directories for its employees. Some departments have their own file servers. All corporate users authenticate using Active Directory. The engineering department has their own untrusted AD domain for their file servers.
The company is looking for a consolidated solution that requires minimal changes to the environment, and that creates a single namespace for the home directories.
What is the recommended solution that will meet this company's requirements?

• A. Utilize SmartPools to create two pools to separate the domains.
• B. Consolidate onto a single cluster and merge the domains.
• C. Configure two separate clusters, one for each AD domain.
• D. Implement an Isilon cluster and utilize Access Zones.
