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?

You are setting up SmartPools and SmartConnect on an Isilon cluster.
Which Microsoft Windows system tool will illustrate the difference in performance experienced by clients connecting to different tiers of storage?

What is the behavior of the Isilon time and date settings and what is the best practice?

A customer requires a backup to tape of their Isilon cluster. They want advice on whether to implement a two-way NDMP solution or a three-way solution. The front-end network must be used to stream data to the backup solution.
Which cost-effective solution will meet their needs?

A customer wants to use their large Gen 6 Isilon cluster for ILM. All of their data is written to and read from a single file pool. They need to use multiple file pools, so slightly used data is stored on less expensive, large disks. Heavily used data is stored on a faster tier.
What would satisfy the customer's needs?
