On an Isilon cluster consisting of eight H500 nodes running OneFS 8.2.1, which type of deduplication is used to maximize storage efficiency?
- A . Post-process
- B . Extent-based
- C . In-line
- D . Target-based
A European Sports TV network is considering Isilon for their Media Edit Storage for their editing workloads. They are also considering Isilon for near-line media archiving.
The network receives XDCAM HD footage which is loaded onto their existing Transcoding Storage platform. New footage that needs to be edited will be transferred from their Transcoding Storage platform to the proposed Media Edit Storage platform at the rate of ten simultaneous XDCAM HD files via FTP. Edited files will be transferred back to the Transcoding Storage platform at the rate of ten simultaneous XDCAM HD files via FTP.
The network currently has 15 Final Cut Pro edit stations, 15 Avid edit stations. Proxy software will be used to allow Isilon to act as the storage for the Final Cut Pro and Avid media. Three of those edit stations will be performing content compositing as needed.
The network expects 70 hours of new content per week, and 50 hours of edited content per week. They intend to keep the new and edited content on the proposed Media Edit Storage as a performance tier for 30 days. They would like to retain all new and edited footage proposed Media Edit Storage as a near-line tier for two years.
In addition to the current workloads, the network expects to implement a new Media Asset Management (MAM) solution and has requested the Isilon cluster be capable of supporting 120 MBps read and 120 MBps write to support the MAM requirements.
Based on the described use of the cluster, which node combination is the appropriate choice for the customer’s requirements?
- A . 4 x X400 nodes with 4 x NL 400 nodes
- B . 4 x S200 nodes with 4 x NL 400 nodes
- C . 4 x X200 nodes with 4 x NL 400 nodes
- D . 4 x S200 nodes with 5 x NL 400 nodes
What are typical use cases for SyncIQ and SmartSync? (Select all that apply)
- A . Cross-site disaster recovery replication
- B . Automated WAN optimization for streaming data
- C . Data migration between clusters with minimal downtime
- D . Inline data deduplication for file-level redundancy reduction

What must be configured on a PowerScale in order to store only the customer presentation PPT and PDF files on the cluster and the external repository?
- A . Enable file filtering on the share repository, denying access to PDF and PPT file extensions.
- B . Enable file filtering on the share repository, allowing only write PDF and PPT file extensions.
- C . Enable file filtering only on the share repository, allowing only read-only PDF and PPT file extensions.
- D . Enable file filtering only on the share repository, denying access to PDF and PPT file extensions.
Refer to the exhibit.
A large hospital chain has approached you to redesign their storage infrastructure. The head of IT believes their requirement is for 100 TB of RAW capacity.
They want to consolidate their PACS, file shares and home directories onto one cluster and require very fast enumeration of the directories. The following are the notes from meetings with the department heads.
Which is the best cluster configuration that meets the customer’s requirements?
- A . 4 x X-Series nodes using SynqIQ to 4 x NL-Series nodes
- B . 3 x S-Series nodes using SmartPools and 3 x NL-Series nodes for Archive
- C . 5 x S-Series nodes
- D . 3 x NL-Series nodes using SynqIQ to 3 x NL-Series nodes
There is a need to carry out a tech refresh of a PowerScale cluster. Old nodes must be removed because they will soon be at end of service life.
What methodology is least disruptive and will retain the file system structure, configuration, data, and DNS information?
- A . Add the new nodes to the cluster and use SmartPools to move the data to the new nodes
- B . Install the new nodes into the cluster and migrate using a host-based utility
- C . Install the new nodes as a new cluster and use SyncIQ to replicate the data to the new nodes
- D . Install new nodes into the cluster and use SyncIQ to replicate the data from the old to the new nodes
