Question 86
A NetApp customer is considering Isilon. They use their filers for UNIX home directories, and would like to see a suggested configuration that would meet their needs.
What would you do to help size this cluster?
Question 87
A potential customer requires 4 PB of usable capacity to store media files. The workloads are a combination of streaming video delivery and long term archive of video assets.
There is very little space available in the customer's datacenter, so physical density is very important. The customer is concerned about performance impact and potential data loss when using 3 TB or larger drives.
What Isilon capabilities can address the customer's concerns?
Question 88
An Isilon customer created a scheduled SyncIQ policy to replicate data from an Enterprise- mode SmartLock directory.
The source cluster is now unusable and the target cluster does not automatically allow writes to the data in the replicated SmartLock directory.
What is the reason why the target cluster did not automatically allow writes of the data?
Question 89
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?
Question 90
-- Exhibit --
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 described use of the cluster, what are the customer's capacity requirements?
