You have 1000 users for an application that reads and writes files averaging between one and four MB in size. Each user requires 24 MB of RAM. You want to add another 1000 users for this application, and in preparation for them, you run the isi statistics command. You discover that the average CPU utilization is 20%; aggregate throughput averages 700 MB/s and the disk QueueD average is 1.5. Your cluster currently has five X200 (12 GB RAM, 1 TB drive) nodes, uses N+2:1 protection and 1 GigE networking.
What should you do to accommodate the next 1000 users?
A potential customer has 540TB Raw capacity of NetApp running in ONTAP 7-Mode. They are willing to let you gather some workload data. Their authentication sources are LDAP and Active Directory. Their users are primarily Windows Clients. They are very interested in Automated Tiering and Large Scale Archives. They are not certain about the workflows from the Marketing Department. The Content Team will only say they need to acquire 300 TB within 90 days. They do not know the average file size or the number of aggregates they are managing.
Which tool(s) would you use next to complete your sizing?
A company wants to reduce the footprint in their data center. They recently completed a proof of concept with Hadoop using Direct Attached Storage (DAS) for their Big Data initiative. You have determined that incorporating an Isilon cluster into their Hadoop environment would help in reducing this footprint.
Which Hadoop components can be consolidated onto the Isilon cluster to reduce the footprint?
