EMC Isilon Design Specialist Exam for Technology Architects Sample Questions:

1. 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, NL-Series nodes, and SmartPools
B) S-Series nodes, X-Series nodes, and SmartPools
C) NL-Series nodes and SmartLock
D) X-Series nodes and SmartQuotas


2. You are working with a healthcare company that is interested in replacing all the backend storage for their PACS system.In general, how should the solution be presented to the customer?

B) VNX for image cache; Isilon NL-Series nodes for image archive
C) Isilon NL-Series nodes for image cache and image archive
D) VNX for image cache and image archive


3. -- Exhibit -
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
-- Exhibit -

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


4. A customer is making a decision between Isilon and a competitor's offering. They currently have 100TB of usable capacity and are forecasting 100% growth per year for the next three years, which will require them to lease additional space in their co-located data center. The CFO finds ROI and TCO to be important decision criteria.
Which statement best emphasizes the value of Isilon for this customer?

A) Isilon'sOneFS allows administrators to manage much larger amounts of capacity than competitive offerings.
B) An IDC study found that Isilon requires 95% less down time hours per year compared to other competitors.
C) The competition cannot offer a scale-out NAS so as capacity is added to the array, performance may degrade.
D) Isilon'sOneFS data protection policies offer substantially lower overhead than competitive RAID based NAS solutions.


5. Your customer has an Isilon cluster with five X400 nodes and four 72NL nodes. A SmartPools policy moves data to the NL nodes after 60 days of inactivity. The customer wants to expand the archive tier by at least 150 TB and would like to manage a single archive pool.
Which nodes should be added to the cluster?

A) Two X400 nodes with 3TB drives
B) Three NL400 nodes with 2TB drives
C) Two NL400 nodes with 4TB drives
D) Three X400 nodes with 1TB drives
