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?

• A. Bandwidth
• B. Headroom
• C. IOPS
• D. Latency

A potential customer has about 540TB of NetApp running in ONTAP 7-Mode. They are willing to let you gather some workload data. They have LDAP and Active Directory authentication and 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 tools would you use to gather information to do your Isilon sizing?

• A. Wireshark, isi statistics, and iostat
• B. isi status, isi_netlogger, and PerfMon
• C. MiTrendWPA ,Autosupport, and PerfCollect
• D. Isilon Insight IQ, OnCommand Insight, and nfsstat

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

-- 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
