A company wants to reduce the footprint in their data center. They recently completed a proof of concept with Hadoop using Direct Attached Storage (DAS) for their Big Data initiative. You have determined that incorporating an Isilon cluster into their Hadoop environment would help in reducing this footprint.Which Hadoop components can be consolidated onto the Isilon cluster to reduce the footprint?
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?
