Dell EMC E20-555 Quiz:1 Topic:7 Questions:1-5

An Isilon cluster component has the following characteristics:

Spans 3 - 40 nodes

Logical grouping of drives

Automatically assigned

Intelligently distributes disks to manage performance

Which cluster component is described?

A customer has grown 2 PB in the last year. The cluster performs well most times of the day, but occasionally during the day, the customer notices a decrease in performance. You have been told that 'tree-deletes' are taking too long and can only be run on weekends.

What would you recommend to speed up the 'tree-deletes'?

A customer is looking for a NAS solution to support their read-intensive application.

This solution must meet the following requirements:

1000 users

Aggregate bandwidth of 5 GB/s

500 TB of user data

Typical latency of 5 ms.

The files are distributed evenly across 10 directories.

Which cluster configuration would best meet these requirements?

Your customer manages a print media environment, consisting of three Isilon clusters, which are out of support. The customer would like to have access to new software releases and feature sets. You have been asked 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.

''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, three forest domains which are servicing three different environments. All servers are operating on a 1Gb network, three VLANs segregating the DEV/QA/PROD environments. Currently, there is no monitoring in place for performance 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

Limit migrations

Reduce space, power, cooling consumption

Get new feature sets

If migration required, use Parallel copy (multiple nodes, multiple threads, multiple connections)

Segregate tenant shares from other tenants

Expand up to 1PB of total storage

What would you recommend be done to consolidate the three clusters into one?
