You have been invited to meet with the Social Media and Marketing Department and gather
requirements for a potential File System Project. They primarily use CIFS and are considering
deploying a Hadoop cluster to analyze customer demographic data. The Senior Systems Engineer
thinks they will need 2PB of usable capacity.
What would you do to gain an understanding of the customer’s environment to qualify and develop
the opportunity?

A.
Create a cluster configuration specifying HDFS, NFS, and CIFS protocols; select 19 x X400
nodes with 144TB per node, and Enhanced Support

B.
Request the Windows Systems Administration Team run a PerfMon analysis on the Marketing
Servers, consider adding 75 x 3TB drives to your VNX 5500, and contact the DBA Team for their
help

C.
Ask them to identify how the current data is accessed, where the data is accessed from, and
who is accessing the data

D.
Send the Social Media Team a sizing and features spreadsheet to complete; download the
OneFS Architectural White Paper for them, and create a Logical System diagram in Visio
