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?

Your customer has observed a degradation in response time while browsing for media files within the Production Media folder of the Isilon cluster. That directory now contains over five million files. It was confirmed that there are no network or edit station related causes.
What changes to the Isilon cluster will best accelerate the browsing performance?

A company needs to have their data asynchronously replicated. They also need to maintain a daily copy of the data for a week at the target side to enable fast recovery of files. They decide to purchase two Isilon clusters. They do not want to spend money unnecessarily.
Which licenses must they acquire?

Your customer is moving from a Restaurant/Bar business model to a Restaurant/Casino business model.
You are helping architect the upgrade of a current 4-node X200 48 TB Isilon cluster, with 65% utilized for their video surveillance operations.
They wish to achieve the following:
Upgrade from 1280 x 720 resolution, with a 15 days retention policy, to 2048 x 1536 resolution with a 30 days retention policy.
What is the minimum number of nodes of the same type will you need to add in order to meet the required changes and not exceed 70% raw capacity?

Which Isilon job periodically checks disk sectors to ensure they can be read?
