Your customer has a new business unit. They are gathering web log files to be analyzed. They are using Hadoop to do the analysis of the logs. The IT department is centrally storing the log files on a 5-node Isilon cluster. They have enabled the Hadoop cluster to access the files directly on the Isilon storage. The nodes areX400's with two SSD drives in each node and 96GB of RAM.How many DataNodes does the Isilon cluster have?
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?
Your customer has observed a degradation in response time while browsing for media files within the Production Media folder of the Isilon cluster. That directory now contains over five million files. It was confirmed that there are no network or edit station related causes.What changes to the Isilon cluster will best accelerate the browsing performance?
While validating the value (VTV) with a large educational customer, they have decided they would like to add a Disaster Recovery (DR) site to their existing Isilon environment. The existing cluster contains six X-Series nodes. They plan to have all workflows replicated to the DR site and both clusters will have identical shares, exports, and user authentication. The customer would like to test DR failover every six months by running their production environment from the DR site.What would you recommend for the DR solution?
A hospital is considering using Isilon to store their archived medical images and Genomic Sequencing data. They currently have 56 TB of PACS images and 24TB of genomic data, and expect to double their capacity requirements this year. They will replicate to a DR cluster, and plan to use N+2 protection. The production workload needs to be run at either site.Which minimum cluster configuration, at each site, including software, would meet this customer's environment?
A customer has a requirement for a new solution to handle their growing storage requirements. The solution should have the ability to cover storage needs for the next three years. The environment consists of 100 TBs of file system data spread across five file systems. On average, the file systems grow 1 TB a month. In addition, they have a large VMware cluster supporting 200 VMs and a highly transactional database.The customer wants the solution to offer good performance, scalability, manageability, and be cost-effective. The sales team is looking to you to recommend a solution.Which recommendation will meet the customers requirements?
