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.
S-Series nodes for the active diagrams and NL Series nodes for the archives

B.
A-Series nodes for the active diagrams and X-Series nodes for the archives.

C.
X-Series nodes for the active diagrams and NL 400 nodes for the archives

D.
X-Series nodes with SSD for the active diagrams and NL nodes for the archives
