An Isilon customer is experiencing less than expected performance and poor space utilization with their cluster. They are using the X400 nodes with an N+2d:1n protection policy to host web server log data. Upon further analysis, the customer discovers that the web servers write log files 64KiB in size. The log files are then accessed by an analytics application for reporting purposes. What should be done to increase the write performance of the cluster?
Correct Answer:C

We have been engaged by a research hospital to help upgrade their Isilon installation. They currently have 12 previous generation Isilon nodes with 200TB of capacity and run on a 1Gbps network. They currently have 6 Illumina Hi-Seq Sequencers and an HPC cluster to process data. They would like to expand Isilon to 2PB of active data and 1PB of archive data. They use a third party data and metadata management service (IRODs) to stage data for analysis. The Isilon cluster is mainly used for analysis work with the HPC cluster.
