A company uses the Dell EMC Isilon cluster’s A200 nodes for short-team archiving of digitized film. Historical and trending information shows that the cluster capacity will reach 90% full in 60 days. To avoid the need to purchase additional A200 nodes, the company requires a solution that archives data not accessed for 18 months to a more cost-effective platform.

Which IT strategy provides a long-term solution that meets the requirements?
- A . Use data deduplication on achieved data accessed within 180 days
- B . Use SyncIQ to replicate the archive to the H600 nodes on the secondary cluster
- C . Use NDMP to backup to disk using compression and deduplication
- D . Use a CloudPools policy to move the target data to an ECS-powered cloud
A company uses a Dell EMC Isilon cluster to store greater than one billion files. The company often restores files from NDMP backups.

A company has a medical application that generates a large number of media files. The file count is well over one billion and is stored on a Dell EMC Isilon 8-node NL410 cluster. Currently, each node is connected to the network using two 10GbE connections. The Linux-based application does not require high bandwidth; however, it is latency sensitive. Additionally, the Linux hosts are connected to the cluster over NFSv3. The application generates approximately 10,000 files every 10 minutes.
For the past four years, the cluster has been growing at a rate of one additional node per year. The company is running out of free ports on their redundant network switches. They want to know what can be done to ensure continuous availability. They do not want to invest in upgrading the network infrastructure. In addition, the company needs to reduce the number of consumed interface ports on the switches.
Which recommendation should be provided?
- A . Leave the first four nodes of the cluster connected to both network switches with LACP and free up the remaining connections
- B . Leave the first node of the cluster connected to both network switches and free up the remaining connections
- C . Leave the first four nodes of the cluster connected to both network switches and free up the remaining connections
- D . Leave the first 10GbE interface from each node connected to the same network switch and free up the remaining connections
An IT team is implemented a disaster recovery solution. A Dell EMC Isilon cluster will replicate production data from the existing primary cluster to a planned secondary cluster. The primary cluster is licensed for SmartLock Enterprise. A SmartLock enterprise type directory on the primary cluster is planned for SyncIQ replication to the secondary cluster.
When consulting with the IT team.

A media company has a Microsoft Windows-based infrastructure and uses Adobe media editing tools to create advertisements for its customers. Users from the Media Production department store all types of media files on a Dell EMC Isilon cluster.
In addition, users from the Support department are not allowed to store MP3 and AVI files to the NAS system. Both the Media Production and Support departments need to acces other common data on the cluster. Due to workflow procedures, the media files are stored on the same path on the Isilon cluster.
The company wants to know which Isilon features are available and can restrict the Support department users from writing certain media file types onto the Isilon cluster.
Which recommendation should be provided?
- A . Create an SMB share for the Media Production department and restrict the Support department users from accessing the share. Create another SMB share for the Support department and apply file filtering.
