A customer has a 7-node Isilon cluster configured with N+2:1 protection. How many nodes can be offline with the data accessible and fully writeable?
Your customer is looking for a storage solution that will be able to store seven million 3 MB files which are written and seldom accessed. Read and write operations are both completed by a web-based application, which requires 1.3 Gbps throughput. The customer's network has not been upgraded in many years, so the network interfaces are 1 Gbps.
What would be the best solution for this network configuration?
You have gathered information from your customer about their current NAS environment. They indicated they are having performance and time-out issues with their clients accessing the storage. Currently over 5000 clients are simultaneously accessing the NAS; however, this will double in the next year.
Based on this information, what recommendations for a new Isilon cluster would you give to the customer based on this information?
An Isilon customer implemented a retention period at the directory level. They set individual retention periods on individual files within those directories.
