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.

The customer wants to be able to put completed content into a non-editable folder. However, they want to give access to an administrator to delete content if required. What do you recommend to the customer?

• A. SmartLock using Compliance mode
• B. SmartLock using Enterprise mode
• C. WORM using Compliance mode
• D. SyncIQ with read-only mode

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?

• A. Five NL400 (1 TB drive) nodes
• B. Three X400 (3 TB drive) nodes
• C. Five X200 (3 TB drive) nodes
• D. Four NL400 (2 TB drive) nodes

A large manufacturing company is an existing Isilon customer with a cluster consisting of four NL400 nodes with 4TB drives. The cluster is using N+2:1 protection level and the file system shows that it is 60% utilized. Home directories and file shares comprise 75% of the existing content and the remainder is inactive deep archive. The company has 1,000 employees using Windows and Mac clients participating in a single Active Directory (AD) forest.
During a meeting with the CIO and Director of IT you discuss the company's recent acquisition - an engineering firm that specializes in Computer Aided Design (CAD). The engineering firm has 400 UNIX workstations that produce technical drawings which are currently stored on another vendor's SAN solution. The all UNIX environment uses NIS for authentication and name resolution. They do not currently use DNS or LDAP. The engineering company has an old storage system that has been experiencing problems and the CIO would like you to migrate the data onto the Isilon cluster. The CIO would like to eliminate all tape and recover the data onto disk.
The CIO is concerned about security of the company's intellectual property, especially with the rapid adoption of mobile devices and external cloud content sharing services such as DropBox, Egnyte, and SugarSync. They would like to implement an alternative that provides external file sharing and mobile device synchronization while maintaining security control over the company's data.
The Director of IT reports that users are storing non-work related content on the Isilon cluster. They would like to limit the amount of capacity that each user can consume in their home directory and want to ensure you provide the capability to easily visualize which users are over their allotment. The company's Windows users currently leverage Windows Shadow Copy to recover files that have been accidentally deleted. The IT department wants to ensure that Mac and incoming UNIX clients have the same functionality.
The Director of IT also mentions that users are reporting slow response times when browsing their home directories and shared folders. They are concerned that Isilon cannot scale to support their combined requirements.
The customer provides the following environment summary from the engineering firm's recently departed IT staff:
20 TB of Home Directory data
100 TB of active CAD projects
400 TB of archived data stored on tape at an offsite warehouse

Which Isilon license options are required to meet the customer's needs?

• A. SnapshotIQ SmartQuotas Syncplicity EE SyncIQ InsightIQ SmartPools
• B. SnapshotIQ SmartQuotas Syncplicity EE InsightIQ SmartPools
• C. SnapshotIQ SmartQuotas SmartLock SyncIQ InsightIQ
• D. SnapshotIQ SmartConnect Advanced SmartQuotas SyncIQ InsightIQ SmartPools

A company currently has numerous file servers providing home directories for its employees. Some departments have their own file servers. All corporate users authenticate using Active Directory. The engineering department has their own untrusted AD domain for their file servers.
The company is looking for a consolidated solution that requires minimal changes to the environment, and that creates a single namespace for the home directories.
What is the recommended solution that will meet this company's requirements?

• A. Implement an Isilon cluster and utilize Access Zones.
• B. Configure two separate clusters, one for each AD domain.
• C. Consolidate onto a single cluster and merge the domains.
• D. Utilize SmartPools to create two pools to separate the domains.

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?

• A. X-Series nodes and SmartQuotas
• B. S-Series nodes, X-Series nodes, and SmartPools
• C. NL-Series nodes and SmartLock
• D. X-Series nodes, NL-Series nodes, and SmartPools
