-- Exhibit -- 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. Currently, the workflows are being limited by the network access to the Isilon cluster. What would result in the fastest possible network throughput?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moving the analysis infrastructure to a dedicated 10G network would provide the fastest possible network throughput by significantly increasing the bandwidth available for data transfer compared to the current 1Gbps network.
