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 a single Isilon cluster and utilize Access Zones for authentication to Active Directory
and NIS.

B.
Configure two separate clusters, one for Windows clients and the other for Linux.

C.
Utilize SmartPools to create two different FilePools, and separate Windows users from Linux
users.

D.
