A large hospital chain has approached you to redesign their storage infrastructure. The head of IT
believes their requirement is for 60 TB of RAW capacity. The following are the notes from

meetings with the department heads.
Which is the minimum cluster configuration that meets the customer’s requirements?

Refer to the exhibit.

During a requirements gathering meeting, the customer identified a desire to use a codec for
editing content that will take up the least amount of space on their Isilon cluster. The content is
1920×1080 HD.
Based on the provided list of codecs, which codec would minimize the storage requirement?

Refer to the Exhibit.

What is represented by the information shown?

Refer to the exhibit.

You are analyzing a customer’s existing Isilon environment using isi statistics in order to expand
the cluster. When examining the protocol subcommand, you see the output as shown in the
exhibit.
What does the data tell you about the workload?

Refer to the exhibit.

Which tool was used to create this output and which line item counts the metadata read operations
occurring in the file service?

Refer to the exhibit.

Which tool was used to create this output and what is the most telling characteristic?

Refer to the exhibit.

A customer calls you and asks if you could come by and interpret their InsightIQ data. You see
that namespace reads are 63% of the work load.
What would you recommend to help this cluster’s namespace performance?

Refer to the exhibit.

You want to add redundancy to your network configuration, rather than performance. You have
configured all interfaces into the default SmartConnect zone.
How should you configure the switches and Isilon networking to provide your desired network
redundancy?

Refer to the exhibit.

Your customer has three different clusters. File systems on two of the clusters are at 90% full, and
the largest cluster is 10% full. Active data resides on the largest cluster. The customer has five
different node types totaling 2PB and 54 nodes. Nodes from left to right are as shown:
1.X200
2.12000X
3.36000X
4.NL108
5.108NL
They have a Smartpool license and believe that tiering data would help free up needed space.

After talking with the customer and explaining the use of SmartPools, how would you recommend
optimizing utilization across all of the nodes that the customer owns?

A European Sports TV network is considering Isilon for their Media Edit Storage for their editing
workloads. They are also considering Isilon for near-line media archiving.
The network receives XDCAM HD footage which is loaded onto their existing Transcoding Storage
platform. New footage that needs to be edited will be transferred from their Transcoding Storage
platform to the proposed Media Edit Storage platform at the rate of ten simultaneous XDCAM HD
files via FTP. Edited files will be transferred back to the Transcoding Storage platform at the rate
of ten simultaneous XDCAM HD files via FTP.
The network currently has 15 Final Cut Pro edit stations, 15 Avid edit stations. Proxy software will
be used to allow Isilon to act as the storage for the Final Cut Pro and Avid media. Three of those
edit stations will be performing content compositing as needed.
The network expects 70 hours of new content per week, and 50 hours of edited content per week.
They intend to keep the new and edited content on the proposed Media Edit Storage as a
performance tier for 30 days. They would like to retain all new and edited footage proposed Media
Edit Storage as a near-line tier for two years.
In addition to the current workloads, the network expects to implement a new Media Asset
Management (MAM) solution and has requested the Isilon cluster be capable of supporting 120
MBps read and 120 MBps write to support the MAM requirements.

Based on the number of edit stations, and their intended use, what bandwidth requirements should
be considered while sizing?
