You get a call from a customer that has just added 200 user connections to the cluster. They want to know how fast they are writing data with these new users.
What tool would you use to gather this information?
You are designing a new Isilon system to store mobile device video clips. The files average 800MB in size and the application team tells you to plan for up to 15,000 new files per day. The product manager for this new service wants enough capacity for the first year and reminds you that response time for storing and retrieving the files is important for customer satisfaction.
The files will be accessed frequently for the first 48 hours after creation, and then very infrequently after seven days. You plan to use N+2:1 protection, and will configure a SmartPools policy to move inactive files to an archive tier within the cluster.
Which configuration best fits the project requirements?
-- 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 -
The customer has a limited budget. What would be the best price/performance solution for their active data?
In your second meeting with the customer you ask the following questions about their current unified SAN and NAS platform.
"Are you using an application to map users from NFS Exports to SMB shares? Is each site a separate LDAP or AD Domain?"
What functionality are you trying to understand in their environment and what is the comparable feature in IsilonOneFS?
Your customer is looking for a storage solution that will be able to store seven million 3 MB files which are written and seldom accessed. Read and write operations are both completed by a web-based application, which requires 1.3 Gbps throughput. The customer's network has not been upgraded in many years, so the network interfaces are 1 Gbps.
What would be the best solution for this network configuration?
