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


3. Your customer purchased an Isilon cluster with eight X400 nodes for Home Directories. Your follow-up discussions have uncovered an opportunity to expand the cluster to support the Legal Department. As you prepare to complete the Workflow Profile Document, you meet with the customer to discuss data protection.
Which key areas should you address?

A) Protocols (SMB, NFS, FTP, HTTP, HDFS) Authentication and Directory Services Performance and latency concerns
B) Default cluster protection level Additional directory level protections Snapshots and replication
C) Default cluster protection level Backup windows and processes Concurrency of user access
D) WORM requirements Network ports for replication Snapshots for user restores


4. Refer to the exhibit.

You are analyzing a customer's existing Isilon environment using isi statistics in order to expand the cluster. When examining the protocol subcommand, you see the output as shown in the exhibit.
What does the data tell you about the workload?

A) It is metadata intensive.
B) It contains mostly random writes.
C) It uses large read requests.
D) It is mostly sequential reads.


5. -- Exhibit -
We have been engaged by a research hospital to help upgrade their Isilon installation. They currently have 12 previous generation Isilon nodes with 200TB of capacity and run on a 1Gbps network. They currently have 6 Illumina Hi-Seq Sequencers and an HPC cluster to process data. They would like to expand Isilon to 2PB of active data and 1PB of archive data. They use a third party data and metadata management service (IRODs) to stage data for analysis. The Isilon cluster is mainly used for analysis work with the HPC cluster.
-- Exhibit -
The customer will add two more Illumina Hi-Seq Sequencers in the next 6 months.
Once these are added, what is the total amount of data from all the sequencers they can expect to add per month?

A) 4.8 TB
B) 14.4 TB
C) 9.6 TB
D) 1.2 TB
