EMC Isilon Design Specialist Exam for Technology Architects Sample Questions:

1. A customer is inquiring about expanding their primary cluster consisting of six S-Series nodes in order to improve performance. They have a second cluster with 11 X-Series nodes. Both clusters leverage 1GbE, but the customer recently installed a 10GbE network that can be utilized. They also have multiple Fibre Channel SAN arrays in their environment.
They have a variety of workloads on each cluster and are in the process of determining which workloads belong on which cluster. They have discovered that one of the workloads- a SQL database that resides on the X-Series node cluster - is experiencing timeouts due to latency. The database vendor has suggested limiting latency to 5ms or less to eliminate these timeouts.
How do you advise the customer?

A) Suggest the customer consider leveraging SSDs in the new nodes they purchase and GNA to boost the performance of each cluster.
B) Consider migrating data from Isilon to one of their SAN platforms or proposing a new solution to handle the performance requirements of SQL.
C) Merge the S-Series nodes and X-Series nodes into one cluster, upgrade the 1GbE to 10GbE, and leverage SmartPools to allow for the cluster to determine where data should reside.
D) Recommend they increase the amount of DRAM in the cluster or consider an Accelerator node in order to increase the amount of cache in their cluster.


2. You have been working with a customer to size a new Isilon cluster for their environment. You recently determined that a cluster with three X400 nodes with 1TB drives and 48 GB RAM would be a perfect starting point for their workflow, but will have extra capacity. The customer just informed you that they have decided to also use the cluster for a small home directory environment and implement SmartQuotas.
Which configuration changes should you consider?

A) Add an additional X400-Series node to the configuration.
B) Add three NL-Series nodes with 1 TB drives with 48GB RAM, and use SmartPools.
C) Add three S-Series nodes with 300GB drives with 48GB RAM, and use SmartPools
D) Increase the memory and add SSDs to the configuration.


3. You are asked about a potential new customer and you would like to get more information on the data skew of their filer. They have a supported filer.
What assessment tool would you use to generate this information?

A) SupportIQ
B) Workload Profile
C) Workflow Profile
D) InsightIQ


4. 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?

A) 38 x X400 nodes with 4TB drives and SSD
B) 4 x X400 nodes with 1TB drives; 36 x NL400 nodes with 4TB drives
C) 4 x X200 nodes with SSD; 36 x NL400 nodes with 4TB drives
D) 4 x S200 nodes with SSD; 45 x NL400 nodes with 3TB drives


5. -- 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 -
Which Isilon license options are required to meet the customer's needs?

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