What is the overhead impact on the physical capacity when configuring data protection at +2:1 on a 6-node Isilon cluster?

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 Which licenses need to be defined for the solution to perform optimally?

A customer has a requirement to replicate their VDI to a newly purchased data center located 5 miles away. They require 10-day retention at each site and a continuous replication RPO. However, they want to have the same storage platform at each site. They have a limited budget but need to meet their requirements. Which solution should be recommended to the customer?

A customer plans to deploy N+2d:1n protection on a 5-node Isilon cluster. How much capacity will be used to store a 320 KiB file?

There is a concern that there are not enough physical switch ports available for the Isilon cluster in a new implementation with SMB and ICAP requirements. What course of action should be taken?

Refer to the exhibit. Which tool was used to create this output and which line item counts the metadata read operations occurring in the file service?

A customer has the following requirements for their VDI deployment: Greater than 1000 desktops with the ability to grow 10% for the next 3 years Low latency boot volumes General purpose NAS for home directories Remote replication with the ability to snap at every write Capable of delivering 100 IOPs per desktop Which EMC technologies should be recommended?

Refer to the exhibit. You are analyzing a customer's existing Isilon environment using isi statistics in order to expand the cluster. When examining the protocol subcommand, you see the output as shown in the exhibit. What does the data tell you about the workload?

Where does Endurant Cache stage its write cache?
