You are designing a new Isilon system to store mobile device video clips. The files average 800MB in size and the application team tells you to plan for up to 15,000 new files per day. The product manager for this new service wants enough capacity for the first year and reminds you that response time for storing and retrieving the files is important for customer satisfaction. The files will be accessed frequently for the first 48 hours after creation, and then very infrequently after seven days. You plan to use N+2:1 protection, and will configure a SmartPools policy to move inactive files to an archive tier within the cluster. Which configuration best fits the project requirements?

Question

The X200 nodes with SSDs will provide the best performance for the frequently accessed files, while the NL400 nodes with 4TB drives will provide the capacity and cost-effectiveness for the infrequently accessed files. The N+2:1 protection will ensure that the data is protected in the event of a node failure. The SmartPools policy will move the inactive files to the archive tier within the cluster, which will free up space on the performance tier for the frequently accessed files.
