What would be a good prequalifying question to ask?

You are reviewing an opportunity with a trusted advisor. You both discover gaps in the initial

When designing Isilon solutions, which issue should you pay special attention to?

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?

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.
