You are sizing an Isilon cluster for a new customer. Analyzing their workflow you determine that they have a large block random read workload.What is the most important factor to consider when sizing this solution?

Which Isilon feature provides the ability to build a cluster using different node types and tiers to meet a customer's business objectives?

What key considerations should be kept in mind when designing a 300TB solution?

Your customer has an Isilon cluster with five X400 nodes and four 72NL nodes. A SmartPools policy moves data to the NL nodes after 60 days of inactivity. The customer wants to expand the archive tier by at least 150 TB and would like to manage a single archive pool.
Which nodes should be added to the cluster?

A hospital is considering using Isilon to store their long-term archive data for their PACS application. They currently have two million 17 MB studies. They expect capacity requirements to be 50% compounded growth per year. They plan to use N+2:1 protection, and would like this sized for three years of growth.Which minimum cluster configuration would meet this customer's environment?

-- Exhibit -
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.

Refer to the exhibit.

Based on the described use of the cluster, which node combination is the appropriate choice for the customer's requirements?

A customer is making a decision between Isilon and a competitor's offering. They currently have 100TB of usable capacity and are forecasting 100% growth per year for the next three years, which will require them to lease additional space in their co-located data center. The CFO finds ROI and TCO to be important decision criteria.
Which statement best emphasizes the value of Isilon for this customer?

You are asked about a potential new customer and you would like to get more information on the data skew of their filer. They have a supported filer.
What assessment tool would you use to generate this information?

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?
