— Exhibit —
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.

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

A.
Move analysis infrastructure to dedicated 10G network.

B.
Add four A-Series accelerator nodes.

C.
Use LACP to aggregate the network connections.

D.
Implement jumbo frames.
