Isilon Solutions Specialist Exam for Implementation Engineers v6.0 (E20-357)

You set up a meeting to gather information on a new project with the IT manager and plan to use a workflowprofile assessment (WPA) to document the requirements.Why is it recommended to talk to as manystakeholders as possible?

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?

A potential customer requires 800TB of usable capacity to store medical images for their network of healthclinics. The IT department has limited staff and currently manages four storage arrays from other vendors.
During a meeting with the Director of IT, you learn that the company is planning to deploy a scale-out NASsolution from a competitor of EMC.
Which factors can demonstrate a lower TCO using Isilon?

What is the maximum volume or aggregate size that can be created with an Isilon Scale-
Out NAS system?

Which protocol does Isilon OneFS integrate with to provide on-access file scan functionality?

Your customer manages a print media environment, consisting of three Isilon clusters, which are out ofsupport. The customer would like to have access to new software releases and feature sets. You have beenasked to perform a full discovery of the customer's environment.
The customer's current Isilon clusters are as follows:
"Cust" (12 x 12000X) serves as upload media storage for different tenants.
Complete collection of E20-357 Exam's Questionand answers.
"Working" (8 x 12000X + 6 x X200) serves as a working zone for extraction to RAW and printing media from it.
"Archive" (16 x 72NL + Accelerator nodes) is used to store printed content for six months.
The customer operates in a Windows environment using SMB 2.0, two DNS servers per
AD forest, threeforestdomains which are servicing three different environments. All servers are operating on a 1Gb network, threeVLANs segregating the DEV/QA/PROD environments. Currently, there is no monitoring in place forperformance measurement or optimization.
The requirements for this solution include:
Better ROI and TCO
Maintain same performance with possible improvements
Renew HW/SW and get inclusive support
Limit migrations
Reduce space, power, cooling consumption
Get new feature sets
If migration required, use Parallel copy (multiple nodes, multiple threads, multiple connections)
Segregate tenant shares from other tenants
Expand up to 1PB of total storage
What steps need to be taken on the clusters to meet the customer requirements?

A customer is looking for a NAS solution to support their read-intensive application. This solution must meetthe following requirements:
1000 users
Aggregate bandwidth of 5 GB/s
500 TB of user data
Typical latency of 5 ms.
The files are distributed evenly across 10 directories. Which cluster configuration would best meet theserequirements?

When configuring Isilon SmartConnect in a customer environment, which records are required for a supportedimplementation?

You have scheduled a meeting with a prospective customer in the Life Sciences vertical market.
Which Isilon features should be presented to them?

Which block size does Isilon SyncIQ use to transfer data?

How does Isilon SnapshotIQ use storage for snapshots?

An existing customer has two NAS systems providing NFS storage in their main data center - one is an Isiloncluster and the second is an array from another vendor. Both systems are four years old, and the customerwould like to consolidate the storage into a single solution.
According to the customer, both systems supportidentical workloads with similar performance and utilization, and they want the new solution to support 50%performance growth. Which method can model the workload requirements, and what multiplier will capture therequirements for the new solution?

A cost-conscious customer is exploring Isilon for their PACS archive. The workflow consists of one hundredcases a day, each including fifty 60MB image files. However, each image will have five-hundred 64kBmetadata files associated with it. They currently have six years worth of archived data. They will need tomigrate to the new solution and they need to plan for an additional three years of archive capacity.Whichsolution would you recommend to fit their capacity needs?

When configuring Dynamic IP Address Allocation in Isilon SmartConnect, which policy setting needs to bedetermined?

A customer plans to replace an existing array that is supported by the MiTrend Workload
Profile Assessment(WPA) service. You receive performance data from the customer and run a WPA report that shows the arrayhas 50TB of usable capacity. In discussions with the customer, you learn the content is comprised of fourmillion 6MB files and 400 million 64KB files. The customer explains they have a small budget and very limitedrack space available in their datacenter. Performance is not a concern because the files are rarely accessed.
Which configuration provides the needed usable capacity using N+2:1 protection, and requires the leastamount of rack space?
