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, which node combination is the appropriate choice for the customer’s requirements?

A.

4 x X400 nodes with 4 x NL 400 nodes

B.

4 x S200 nodes with 4 x NL 400 nodes

C.

4 x X200 nodes with 4 x NL 400 nodes

D.

4 x S200 nodes with 5 x NL 400 nodes

In an NFSv3 only environment, what is the recommended limit for active NFSv3
connections, per Isilon node?

A.

500

B.

1,000

C.

1,500

D.

2,500

A customer plans to consolidate 200 TB of digital images and video content. Performance
is important for recently created files. However, the customer wants any content that has
not been accessed within 30 days to be stored in the cluster at a much lower cost because
performance is no longer critical.Which Isilon configuration should be recommended?

A.

X-Series nodes, NL-Series nodes, and SmartPools

B.

X-Series nodes and SmartQuotas

C.

S-Series nodes, X-Series nodes, and SmartPools

D.

NL-Series nodes and SmartLock

For concurrent I/O, how do SmartCache and Endurant Cache differ?

A.

Endurant Cache sends an acknowledgement to the client immediately after mirroring writes in NVRAM

B.

Endurant Cache waits for acknowledgement from all nodes before copying to L2 cache

C.

SmartCache immediately commits the write to NVRAM on the local node and one peer node

D.

SmartCache uses sub-file, granular locking whereas Endurant Cache locks the entire file

Which SmartConnect policies are used for workloads that have short lived connections such as HTTP and FTP?

A.

Connection count and round robin

B.

Round robin and CPU usage

C.

Throughput and CPU usage

D.

Throughput and connection count

When designing a SmartConnect IP pool, what is the recommended IP address pool allocation method and
protocol state for SMB?

A.

Dynamic, stateful

B.

Static, stateless

C.

Dynamic, stateless

D.

Static, stateful

Your customer is moving from a Restaurant/Bar business model to a Restaurant/Casino
business model. You are helping architect the upgrade of a current 4-node X200 48 TB
Isilon cluster, with 50% utilized for their video surveillance operations.
They want to upgrade from 15 FPS (NTSC) in H.264 codec, with a 15 days retention policy
to 30 FPS (NTSC) in H.264 codec, with a 30 days retention policy.
How many nodes of the same type will you need to add in order to meet the required
changes and not exceed 70% raw capacity?

A.

8 nodes

B.

4 nodes

C.

12 nodes

D.

16 nodes

We have been engaged by a research hospital to help upgrade their Isilon installation.
They currently have 12 previous generation Isilon nodes with 200TB of capacity and run on
a 1Gbps network. They currently have 6 Illumina Hi-Seq Sequencers and an HPC cluster
to process data. They would like to expand Isilon to 2PB of active data and 1PB of archive
data. They use a third party data and metadata management service (IRODs) to stage data
for analysis. The Isilon cluster is mainly used for analysis work with the HPC cluster.
