Case Study 5- Refer to the Exhibit.
Backing up data from a Dell EMC Isilon cluster exceeds the company's backup window. Because the company has a large amount of data with a continuous high growth rate, they want to change their backup strategy. The Gen 6 Isilon cluster consists of 24 nodes. Their current backup strategy is an NDMP three-way backup performing weekly full backups to tape and incremental backups each night. The strategy uses Dell EMC NetWorker. The DMA uses Include paths to specify what data to backup. All data on the cluster must remain accessible.
The company's IT team is now looking for a new data protection strategy. The company wants to:
* Minimize the backup window
* Increase the speed of data recovery
* Reduce the network traffic
* Reduce the overall growth of the backup datasets
The IT Team indicates that their currently backup hardware will be used in any solution. Which solution meets their requirements?
A. Change the backup strategy to token-based backups
B. Implement an incremental forever backup strategy
C. Increase the backup tape block size to 512 KB
D. Configure the DMA to use IPv6 for better performance
Question 5
A company has a medical application that generates a large number of media files.The file count is well over one billion and is stored on a Dell EMC lsilon 8-node N14I0 Cluster Currently, each node ft connected to me network using two 10GbE concoctions. The Linux-based application does not require high bandwidth; however, it is latency sensitive. Additionally, the Linux hosts are connected to the cluster over NFSv3 .The application generates approximately 10.000 files every 10 minutesfor the past four years, the cluster has been growing at a rate of one additional node per year. The company is running out free ports on their redundant network switches. They want to know what can be done to ensure continuous availability. They do not want to invest in upgrading the network infrastructure. In addition the company needs to reduce the number ol consumed interface ports on the switches.
Which recommendation should be provided?
A. Leave the fast 10GbE Interfacefrom each node connected to the same network switch and hoe up the remaining connections
B. Leave the first four nodes of the cluster connected to both network switches and free up the remanding connections
C. Leave the first node of the cluster connected to both network switches and free up theremainingconnections
D. Leave the fast four nodes of the cluster connected to both network switches with LACP and free up the remaining connections
