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

Which Isilon license options are required to meet the customer's needs?

• A. SnapshotIQ SmartQuotas SmartLock SyncIQ InsightIQ
• B. SnapshotIQ SmartQuotas Syncplicity EE InsightIQ SmartPools
• C. SnapshotIQ SmartQuotas Syncplicity EE SyncIQ InsightIQ SmartPools
• D. SnapshotIQ SmartConnect Advanced SmartQuotas SyncIQ InsightIQ SmartPools

You have had several discussions with your customer in the processor design industry. They have stated that they want a Scale-Out NAS platform for their design environment. Their most significant responses were "We have 125 design engineers accessing large diagrams and we need high throughput to support them. Can we also get the highest performance available? We need to stay ahead of our competitors." Other areas you discussed were their data retention policies and workflow after the chip design is completed. They plan to archive the design files but the files must stay on line.
What is your initial node recommendation?

• A. X-Series nodes for the active diagrams and NL 400 nodes for the archives
• B. S-Series nodes for the active diagrams and NL Series nodes for the archives
• C. X-Series nodes with SSD for the active diagrams and NL nodes for the archives
• D. A-Series nodes for the active diagrams and X-Series nodes for the archives.

You have gathered information from your customer about their current NAS environment. They indicated they are having performance and time-out issues with their clients accessing the storage. 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 six node X400 cluster today. As additional clients are added, add additional X400 nodes for them.
• 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 seven node X400 cluster today. You will not need to purchase additional nodes as more clients are added.
• D. Create a three node cluster today. As more clients are added, add three additional nodes each time for 1000 clients.

A customer is making a decision between Isilon and a competitor's offering. They currently have 100TB of usable capacity and are forecasting 100% growth per year for the next three years, which will require them to lease additional space in their co-located data center. The CFO finds ROI and TCO to be important decision criteria.
Which statement best emphasizes the value of Isilon for this customer?

• A. An IDC study found that Isilon requires 95% less down time hours per year compared to other competitors.
• B. Isilon'sOneFS data protection policies offer substantially lower overhead than competitive RAID based NAS solutions.
• C. Isilon'sOneFS allows administrators to manage much larger amounts of capacity than competitive offerings.
• D. The competition cannot offer a scale-out NAS so as capacity is added to the array, performance may degrade.

A company currently has multiple fileservers to provide home directories for its employees. Each department has a separate fileserver. Most corporate users are on Windows clients and utilize Active Directory, except for the Engineering department, which uses Linux and NIS for authentication. The company is looking for a solution with minimal administrative overhead and a single namespace for the home directories.
What is the recommended solution that will meet this company's requirements?

• A. Configure two separate clusters, one for Windows clients and the other for Linux.
• B. Utilize SmartPools to create two different FilePools, and separate Windows users from Linux users.
• C. Configure a single Isilon cluster and utilize Access Zones for authentication to Active Directory and NIS.
• D. Configure a single cluster, and migrate Linux users to Windows.
