An Isilon customer wants to more effectively manage their storage and thereby achieve performance improvements. Which tool will help improve workflow performance on their cluster?
A customer has a requirement for a new solution to handle their growing storage requirements. The solution should have the ability to cover storage needs for the next three years. The environment consists of 100 TBs of file system data spread across five file systems. On average, the file systems grow 1 TB a month. In addition, they have a large VMware cluster supporting 200 VMs and a highly transactional database.
The customer wants the solution to offer good performance, scalability, manageability, and be cost-effective. The sales team is looking to you to recommend a solution.
Which recommendation will meet the customer’s requirements?
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?
Refer to the exhibit.
Your customer has three different clusters. File systems on two of the clusters are at 90% full, and the largest cluster is 10% full. Active data resides on the largest cluster. The customer has five different node types totaling 2PB and 54 nodes. Nodes from left to right are as shown:
1.X200
2.12000X
3.36000X
4.NL108
5.108NL
They have a Smartpool license and believe that tiering data would help free up needed space.
After talking with the customer and explaining the use of SmartPools, how would you recommend optimizing utilization across all of the nodes that the customer owns?
