EMC E20-555 - Isilon Solutions and Design Specialist Exam for Technology Architects

A Media and Entertainment company is considering changing from 2K resolution to 4K resolution. They will continue to use the DNxHD 220 codec.

Assuming everything else stays the same, how will this change affect storage?

If a client is mounted to the sixth node in a 20-node Isilon cluster, how much memory cache can that client leverage assuming each node has 8 GB of memory cache?

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?

You are designing a new Isilon cluster that requires backup to tape for all files in the Legal and Accounting shared folders. The customer has sized their IP network to support the application workload, but no additional bandwidth is available.

What should be recommended for the backup solution?

When configuring Isilon SmartPools policies, which values are allowed for file pool policy storage destinations?

Which service daemon do FTP and FTPS use to transfer files to and from the cluster?

An Isilon customer has two 5-node clusters; one for production and one for disaster recovery (DR). The customer's workflows are replicated to the DR cluster through SyncIQ on individual schedules. They shut down their production cluster for a scheduled DR test, failed over to the DR cluster, and continue their DR testing.

Assume both clusters have identical shares, exports, and user authentication. Additionally, assume the client applications have been stopped and the DNS re-pointed. Which SyncIQ Policy method should be used to continue production operations?

A customer has an SMB file directory with 375 TB of data on the primary cluster with a protection level of N+ 3:1. They want to replicate this directory to the secondary cluster. The customer would like information about the possibility of setting protection levels on the target cluster.

What information can be provided to the customer about the protection level for the target directory?

How many file systems are present in a 20-node Isilon X200 cluster?

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?
