EMC E20-555 - Isilon Solutions and Design Specialist Exam for Technology Architects
An Isilon customer experienced a node failure. The failure requires that the affected node be permanently removed from the cluster. What will occur in the cluster upon failure of the node?
What should be avoided when designing snapshot schedules?
What is the correct order of steps taken during the file striping process?
You have scheduled a meeting with a prospective customer in the Life Sciences vertical market. Which Isilon features should be presented to them?
A media and entertainment company has asked for help in creating a new Video On Demand (VOD) storage system. The storage would be delivered to 5000 subscribers simultaneously. They would like to store 5000 hours of full length, High Definition (HD) movies.
What would be the best price-to-performance nodes for this solution?
Given a 5-node Isilon cluster configured with an N+2 protection level, how many nodes can be offline with the data accessible and fully writeable?
If Isilon SmartConnect is being configured in a customer environment, which records are required for a supported implementation?
-- 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.

Refer to the exhibit.
Based on the described use of the cluster, which node combination is the appropriate choice for the customer’s requirements?
What is the overhead impact on the physical capacity when configuring data protection at +2:1 on a 6-node Isilon cluster?
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?
