A European Sports TV network is considering Isilon for their Media Edit Storage for their editing
workloads. They are also considering Isilon for near-line media archiving.

The network receives XDCAM HD footage, which is loaded onto their existing Transcoding
Storage platform. New footage that needs to be edited will be transferred from their Transcoding
Storage platform to the proposed Media Edit Storage platform at the rate of ten simultaneous
XDCAM HD files via FTP. Edited files will be transferred back to the Transcoding Storage platform
at the rate of ten simultaneous XDCAM HD files via FTP.
The network currently has 15 Final Cut Pro edit stations, 15 Avid edit stations. Proxy software will
be used to allow Isilon to act as the storage for the Final Cut Pro and Avid media. Three of those
edit stations will be performing content compositing as needed.
The network expects 70 hours of new content per week, and 50 hours of edited content per week.
They intend to keep the new and edited content on the proposed Media Edit Storage as a
performance tier for 30 days. They would like to retain all new and edited footage proposed Media
Edit Storage as a near-line tier for two years.
In addition to the current workloads, the network expects to implement a new Media Asset
Management (MAM) solution and has requested the Isilon cluster be capable of supporting 120
MBps read and 120 MBps write to support the MAM requirements.

The customer wants to be able to put completed content into a non-editable folder. However, they
want to give access to an administrator to delete content if required. What do you recommend to
the customer?

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.

The customer has a limited budget. What would be the best price/performance solution for their
active data?

Before making any changes, the customer would like a graphical presentation of their existing
array performance to present to management. What is the best tool to gather this information?

Currently, the workflows are being limited by the network access to the Isilon cluster.
What would result in the fastest possible network throughput?

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 large hospital chain has approached you to redesign their storage infrastructure. The head of IT
believes their requirement is for 100 TB of RAW capacity. They want to consolidate their PACS,
file shares and home directories onto one cluster and require very fast enumeration of the
directories. The following are the notes from meetings with the department heads. Which is the
best cluster configuration that meets the customer’s requirements?

Refer to the exhibit.

A large hospital chain has approached you to redesign their storage infrastructure. The head of IT
believes their requirement is for 60 TB of RAW capacity. The following are the notes from
meetings with the department heads.
Which is the minimum cluster configuration that meets the customer’s requirements?

Refer to the exhibit.

During a requirements gathering meeting, the customer identified a desire to use a codec for
editing content that will take up the least amount of space on their Isilon cluster. The content is
1920×1080 HD.
Based on the provided list of codecs, which codec would minimize the storage requirement?
