Wait, did they really expect us to do all this math in our heads? I'm going to need a calculator for this one.

Okay, let's see. 1.3PB from the Isilon, plus the three workloads... I'm leaning towards option A, but I'll double-check the math just to be sure.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I need to really think through the storage requirements and compression ratios to get the right FlashBlade configuration.
