You have been working with a customer to size a new Isilon cluster for their environment. You
recently determined that a cluster with three X400 nodes with 1TB drives and 48 GB RAM would
be a perfect starting point for their workflow, but will have extra capacity. The customer just
informed you that they have decided to also use the cluster for a small home directory
environment and implement SmartQuotas.
Which configuration changes should you consider?

Your customer has an existing Isilon cluster comprised of five NL-Series nodes. They have a new
project that will quadruple their current throughput requirements. Upon reviewing reports in
InsightIQ, you see that the aggregate external network throughput is peaking at 600MB/s. The
customer states that data is only active for the first 7 days, but they keep it indefinitely.
Which recommendation best supports their growth requirements?

A potential customer has about 540TB of NetApp running in ONTAP 7-Mode. They are willing to
let you gather some workload data. They have LDAP and Active Directory authentication and
primarily Windows Clients. They are very interested in Automated Tiering and Large Scale
Archives. They are not certain about the workflows from the Marketing Department. The Content
Team will only say they need to acquire 300 TB within 90 days. They do not know the average file
size or the number of aggregates they are managing.
Which tools would you use to gather information to do your Isilon sizing?

A potential customer has 540TB Raw capacity of NetApp running in ONTAP 7-Mode. They are
willing to let you gather some workload data. Their authentication sources are LDAP and Active
Directory. Their users are primarily Windows Clients. They are very interested in Automated
Tiering and Large Scale Archives. They are not certain about the workflows from the Marketing
Department. The Content Team will only say they need to acquire 300 TB within 90 days. They do
not know the average file size or the number of aggregates they are managing.
Which tool(s) would you use next to complete your sizing?

A potential customer uses a solution from an EMC competitor for NFS storage in their main data
center. The existing arrays are five years old, and the customer would like to consolidate them into
a single new system. The entire workload is generated by eight Linux hosts connected to the
arrays that process video files. The customer informs you they are not able to collect performance
information from the existing arrays.
Which tools can capture the workload requirements?
