You are designing an Isilon 5-node cluster configuration for a customer who wants to store user home directories on the new cluster. Each user has 100 small files of 4KB each, 100 medium sized files of 80KB each, and 100 larger files of 512KB each.
How much space is occupied by the medium sized files data blocks on an N+1n cluster?
What requirements must be determined when sizing a PowerScale solution?
Your customer's initial use case was Home Directories. They implemented the cluster with four
1Gbps ports and LACP. They are planning to expand their cluster to support their core file services. They plan to upgrade their network infrastructure to 10 GbE to facilitate this.
What are two design impacts this change will have?
A customer has two PowerScale clusters. Cluster1 has eight H700 nodes, and Cluster2 has twelve A300 nodes. The customer wants to monitor real-time performance data of both clusters and track file growth.
Which tool should be recommended?
You have had several meetings with an existing EMC VMAX customer. They have agreed that they would like to review an initial Isilon Solution for unstructured data used by the Product Development Team. All production is managed through a Global Enterprise Resource Planning system based in Germany.
They require 600TiB of usable capacity. The File System must be accessible from Windows and Linux High-End Workstations. The files are generally not accessed after 120 days, and they would like automated tiering.
Which questions about architectural integration will impact the solution design?
