Multiple Choice

The customer states that data is only active for the first 7 days, but they keep it indefinitely. Which recommendation best supports their growth requirements?

• A) Add X-Series nodes to the cluster, and use SmartPools to migrate inactive data to the NL-Series nodes.
• B) Use the Isilon Sizing Tool to determine GNA requirements, and add NL-Series nodes with SSD to the cluster.
• C) Add a VNX Unified array for the new project, and use rsync to migrate data to the Isilon cluster for archiving.
• D) Add A-Series nodes to the cluster to boost combined network performance.
