EMC E20-555 - Isilon Solutions and Design Specialist Exam for Technology Architects
You have had several discussions with your customer in the processor design industry. They have stated that they want a Scale-Out NAS platform for their design environment. Their most significant responses were "We have 125 design engineers accessing large diagrams and we need high throughput to support them. Can we also get the highest performance available? We need to stay ahead of our competitors." Other areas you discussed were their data retention policies and workflow after the chip design is completed. They plan to archive the design files but the files must stay on line.
What is your initial node recommendation?
You meet a customer for the first time. They explain that their current environment for NAS does not meet their needs. You want to make sure that Isilon is a good fit for their needs.
What would be a good prequalifying question to ask?
You get a call from a customer that has just added 200 user connections to the cluster. They want to know how fast they are writing data with these new users.
What tool would you use to gather this information?
Your customer is looking for a storage solution that will be able to store seven million 3 MB files, which are written and seldom accessed. Read and write operations are both completed by a web-based application, which requires 1.3 Gbps throughput. The customer's network has not been upgraded in many years, so the network interfaces are 1Gbps.
Which cluster configuration would best meet the customer's requirements?
An Isilon has 3 NL410 nodes with 36 2 TB HDDs each. VHS is specified as 3 virtual drives or 15 percent of the node pool. Which configuration would be used as reserved space for VHS?
What is an accurate statement when configuring an Isilon Gen 6 cluster with Compliance SmartLock?
In an Isilon environment, which event will avoid Dynamic IP Address reallocation?
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?
A customer plans to migrate data to a remote Isilon cluster. What is a consideration when configuring a cluster
with SyncIQ and hard SmartQuotas?
A company currently has numerous file servers providing home directories for its employees. Some departments have their own file servers. All corporate users authenticate using Active Directory. The engineering department has their own untrusted AD domain for their file servers.
The company is looking for a consolidated solution that requires minimal changes to the environment, and that creates a single namespace for the home directories.
What is the recommended solution that will meet this company's requirements?
