Question

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

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?

Options

  • ABuy maintenance support and upgrade nodes on existing clusters to match 1PB storage,
  • BUse block storage to fulfill customer requirements
  • CConsolidate three clusters into one, expand to meet existing performance and needed
