Your Customer Is a Major Metropolitan Newspaper

question 254

Multiple Choice

Your customer is a major metropolitan newspaper. Your previous discussion centered on their storage requirements, and you asked them some of the Top Ten questions. They responded: "Well, it's not the prettiest or most high-tech solution...we use Secure FTP (SFTP) to upload the stories and images and put them in a workflow that formats them for printing in the newspaper." "What really worries us is the fact that our Storage Array from your competitor is going out of maintenance in 120 days, and they are dropping support for Secure FTP. This isn't even considered in our D/R Plan. Do you have a better solution with Isilon?" Which top 10 questions led to this information?

• A) How much capacity are you looking for? What applications access this storage? What risks are there in your current infrastructure?
• B) What is your network infrastructure like? How many Storage Fabrics do you have? What is your Disaster Plan for the Newspaper?
• C) What does your infrastructure look like? What protocols and version number?
• D) What filesystems, SMB, NFS, or other are you using? How do you manage your File Systems?
