A customer is making a decision between Isilon and a competitor’s offering. They currently have
100TB of usable capacity and are forecasting 100% growth per year for the next three years,
which will require them to lease additional space in their co-located data center. The CFO finds
ROI and TCO to be important decision criteria.
Which statement best emphasizes the value of Isilon for this customer?

A.
Isilon’s OneFS data protection policies offer substantially lower overhead than competitive
RAID based NAS solutions.

B.
An IDC study found that Isilon requires 95% less down time hours per year compared to other
competitors.

C.
The competition cannot offer a scale-out NAS so as capacity is added to the array,
performance may degrade.

D.
Isilon’s OneFS allows administrators to manage much larger amounts of capacity than
competitive offerings.
