Your customer has an Isilon 4-node X400 cluster used for home directory use, and has since updated to OneFS 7.0. The HR and Legal departments have been very strict about using only dedicated file servers that are part of a single, isolated, untrusted Active
Directory domain. Their filer has been out of maintenance, and fears are being raised that, due to the age, it may fail at some point.
What could the IT department do, to allow the HR and Legal groups to provide file share services, with minimal impact to their other application permissions?

  • A. Recommend a 2nd cluster for the HR/Legal department
  • B. Utilize SmartPools to create two pools to separate the domains
  • C. Consolidate onto a single cluster and merge the domains
  • D. Use Access Zones for each domain


Answer : B

You have scheduled a meeting with a prospective customer in the Life Sciences vertical market. Which Isilon features should be presented to them?

  • C. SyncIQ, SmartLock, HDFS and SmartConnect
  • D. SyncIQ, Antivirus, 10 GigE support and HDFS


Answer : A

A potential customer requires 800 TB of usable capacity to store medical images for their network of health clinics. The IT department has limited staff and currently manages four storage arrays from other vendors. During a meeting with the Director of IT you learn that the company is considering a solution from a competitor of EMC using two of the existing arrays and two new arrays.
Which Isilon capabilities would show a better ROI for the customer?

  • A. Isilon has 6%-12% less filesystem overhead than traditional clustered filesystem solutions. With a single filesystem and virtual capacity for drive and node failures, Isilon utilization is typically 80% or higher. Isilon utilization is typically 80% or higher due to use of a single filesystem and virtual capacity for drive and node failures.
  • B. With a single filesystem and virtual capacity for drive and node failures, Isilon utilization is typically 80% or higher. OneFS compression results in higher effective capacity within the cluster. Traditional clustered filesystems require 4%-10% internal overhead compared to Isilon virtual capacity.
  • C. Forward Error Correction overhead is 7% lower than traditional RAID. Isilon has 6%-12% less filesystem overhead than traditional clustered filesystem solutions. According to an IDC study, Isilon improves IT productivity by nearly 50% compared to traditional competitors.
  • D. Isilon has 15%-20% less overhead than traditional clustered filesystems. According to an IDC study, Isilon utilization is nearly 50% higher than traditional competitors. Isilon QOS headroom and multiple node pools ensures consistent performance up to 80% utilization.
