You have gathered information from your customer about their current NAS environment. They
indicated they are having performance and time-out issues with their clients accessing the
storage. Currently over 5000 clients are simultaneously accessing the NAS; however, this will
double in the next year.
Based on this information, what recommendations for a new Isilon cluster would you give to the
customer based on this information?

A.
Create a six node X400 cluster today. As additional clients are added, add additional X400
nodes for them.

B.
Create a seven node X400 cluster today. You will not need to purchase additional nodes as
more clients are added.

C.
Create a three node cluster today. As more clients are added, add three additional nodes each
time for 1000 clients.

D.
Create a five node X400 cluster today. As more clients are added, add a Performance
Accelerator node for every 1000 clients.
