Your customer has observed a degradation in response time while browsing for media files within the Production Media folder of the Isilon cluster. That directory now contains over five million files. It was confirmed that there are no network or edit station related causes.
What changes to the Isilon cluster will best accelerate the browsing performance?
A. Add Solid State Drives (SSDs) to the nodes
B. Add A-Series Performance Accelerator nodes
C. Upgrade node access to 10 Gbps
D. Upgrade RAM on the nodes
A customer is looking for a new storage solution to handle their growing storage requirements. The system should be able to cover storage needs for the next three years. The environment consists of 100 TBs of file system data spread across five file systems. On average, the file systems grow 1 TB a month. In addition, they have a large VMware cluster supporting 200 VMs and a highly transactional database.
The customer is looking for a solution that would provide good performance, scalability, manageability, and be cost-effective. The sales team is looking to you to recommend a solution. Which recommendation will meet the customer's requirements?
A. Isilon for file system data, and a VNX for DB and VMware workloads
B. Isilon cluster and scale-out as required
C. VNX Unified platform with FAST Cache
D. VMAX with FAST VP and a NAS Gateway
A customer plans to deploy N+2:1 protection on a 5-node Isilon cluster. How much capacity will be used to store a 1024 KiB file?
A. 1024 KiB
B. 1280 KiB
C. 1792 KiB
D. 1920 KiB
A customer has a data retention period of three years. They want a solution in which files cannot be deleted, changed, or modified.
Which Isilon SmartLock version should they implement?
A. Compliance version
B. Standard version No WORM
C. Enterprise version
D. Standard version with WORM
A customer is inquiring about expanding their primary cluster consisting of six S-Series nodes in order to improve performance. They have a second cluster with 11 X-Series nodes. Both clusters leverage 1GbE, but the customer recently installed a 10GbE network that can be utilized. They also have multiple Fibre Channel SAN arrays in their environment.
They have a variety of workloads on each cluster and are in the process of determining which workloads belong on which cluster. They have discovered that one of the workloads- a SQL database that resides on the X-Series node cluster - is experiencing timeouts due to latency. The database vendor has suggested limiting latency to 5ms or less to eliminate these timeouts.
How do you advise the customer?
A. Consider migrating data from Isilon to one of their SAN platforms or proposing a new solution to handle the performance requirements of SQL.
B. Merge the S-Series nodes and X-Series nodes into one cluster, upgrade the 1GbE to 10GbE, and leverage SmartPools to allow for the cluster to determine where data should reside.
C. Suggest the customer consider leveraging SSDs in the new nodes they purchase and GNA to boost the performance of each cluster.
D. Recommend they increase the amount of DRAM in the cluster or consider an Accelerator node in order to increase the amount of cache in their cluster.
Which process is used to protect file system structures against corruption through 32-bit CRC checksums?
A. Media Scan
B. Isilon Data Integrity
C. File System Journal
D. Dynamic Sector Repair
Which service daemon do FTP and FTPS use to transfer files to and from the cluster?
A. ftpsd
B. vsftpd
C. sftpd
D. ftpd
How are files smaller than 128 KB protected?
A. 3x mirrored
B. N+3d:1n
C. N+2d:1n
D. 2x mirrored
What happens to worker threads running on the same node when there is an excessive number of workers running at the same time?
A. Workers are paused
B. Workers are queued
C. Impact level of workers is decreased
D. Priority level of workers is decreased
