The correct answer is A. Move analysis infrastructure to dedicated 10G network. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.
Question
-- Exhibit -- We have been engaged by a research hospital to help upgrade their Isilon installation. They currently have 12 previous generation Isilon nodes with 200TB of capacity and run on a 1Gbps network. They currently have 6 Illumina Hi-Seq Sequencers and an HPC cluster to process data. They would like to expand Isilon to 2PB of active data and 1PB of archive data. They use a third party data and metadata management service (IRODs) to stage data for analysis. The Isilon cluster is mainly used for analysis work with the HPC cluster. -- Exhibit -- Currently, the workflows are being limited by the network access to the Isilon cluster. What would result in the fastest possible network throughput?
