EMC Isilon Design Specialist Exam for Technology Architects Sample Questions:

1. A healthcare services provider is implementing an X-Series cluster. Currently they have approximately 200 customers and they are growing at 30% per year. They have 200 TB of storage utilized. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations require they keep all patient data for seven (7) years. They would like to keep all genomic sequencing data stored with N+3 protection, not to exceed 75% utilization.
What is the minimum initial configuration you would recommend?

A) 13 X200 nodes; 3 TB drives
B) 6 X400 nodes; 4 TB drives
C) 7 X400 nodes; 1 TB drives
D) 13 X400 nodes; 1 TB drives

2. A customer has eight X400 24GB RAM nodes that support 400 client connections. They will be adding 400 more clients in the next few months. They are looking at adding an A-Series node to the cluster to help with client connections.Before they start adding client connections, what hardware change do you recommend?

A) Add more network switches to increase the number of connections
B) Add RAM to the nodes to offset concurrent client connections
C) Add an A100 node to offset concurrent client connections
D) Add nodes with SSD to help with connections

3. A company currently has multiple fileservers to provide home directories for its employees. Each department has a separate fileserver. Most corporate users are on Windows clients and utilize Active Directory, except for the Engineering department, which uses Linux and NIS for authentication. The company is looking for a solution with minimal administrative overhead and a single namespace for the home directories.
What is the recommended solution that will meet this company's requirements?

A) Configure a single cluster, and migrate Linux users to Windows.
B) Configure two separate clusters, one for Windows clients and the other for Linux.
C) Configure a single Isilon cluster and utilize Access Zones for authentication to Active Directory and NIS.
D) Utilize SmartPools to create two different FilePools, and separate Windows users from Linux users.

4. A media and entertainment company has asked for help in creating a new Video On Demand (VOD) storage system. The storage would be delivered to 5000 subscribers simultaneously. They would like to store 5000 hours of full length, High Definition (HD) movies.
What would be the best price-to-performance node(s) for this solution?

A) X400 with 1.6TB SSD and 24GB RAM
B) X400 with no SSD and 96GB RAM
C) X200 with no SSD and 48GB RAM
D) Mixed X400 48GB RAM and NL400 24GB

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 -
What steps would you recommend to the IT Director to allow for collaboration between the engineering company and the manufacturing company?

A) Create a new pool for use by the collaboration users.
Set up Access Zones on the Isilon cluster using AD and NIS authentication.
B) Repoint the engineering users to the Active Directory controller
Add the users to the appropriate Active Directory security group.
C) Upload a collaboration user csv file into the cluster with usernames and passwords for the
collaboration directory.
D) Set up Access Zones on the Isilon cluster using Active Directory (AD) and NIS authentication.
Create directories and apply user group permissions from AD and NIS for each collaboration
team.
