Making infrastructure an invisible resourceSudheesh Nair SVP of WW Sales & BD, NutanixTwitter @Sudheenair

Infrastructure, the invisible resource 2
Let’s talk about change
• IT spending is down
• On-Premises SW Cos are dead
• Sky is falling!
Infrastructure, the invisible resource 3
Re-imagine, reinvent
• Threat = Opportunity
Infrastructure, the invisible resource 4
Businesses revolve around IT capabilities
• IT is touching end-users directly, like never before
Infrastructure, the invisible resource 5
What changed for businesses?
• CIO’s are now business leaders, because businesses are IT centric
Infrastructure, the invisible resource 6
Focus on what’s important
• Certain things are supposed to just work!
Infrastructure, the invisible resource 7
• So you can do, what you really want to do.
Get work done, it’s as simple as that
Infrastructure, the invisible resource 8
On-premises infrastructure is anything but simple

What Nutanix does
Can’t leave business processes behind
Centralized:- Data protection- Security- Management- Load sharing- Staff, schedules
• Incomplete Hyper-convergence does more harm than good
SAN isn’t without its virtues
• Customers want the cake and eat it too

Technology without design, is useless in Enterprise DC
• Left-brain• Snapshot, Cloning• Compression, De-dupe• Async & Sync DR• Thin provisioning• N-Way scale• Mixed cluster• Protection domains• Multi-Hypervisor support• Encryption• Performance
• Right-brain• Online upgrades• Global management• Predictive analytics• Visualization• Provisioning• Orchestration• Proactive support
MapReduce for Scaling OperationsMassively Parallel Disk RecoveryMassively Parallel Data Rebalancing (when machines are added or removed)Massively Parallel Data Tiering Algorithms… and so on.

Enterprise features
Nutanix Prism gives administrators an easy way to manage virtual environments based on KVM on Nutanix infrastructure
First truly distributed control plane for virtualization in the enterprise. Built with web-scale technologies.
High availability for always-on management during planned maintenance or unplanned disruption
Easy to set up and use. VM-centric workflows and rich automation deliver simple lifecycle management
What?
Why? Prism simplifies and streamlines commonly used workflows for hypervisor and virtual machine management. This reduces the learning curve for administrators who are new to virtualization or are not skilled in managing KVM
DifferentiationSimple Available Distributed
All-in-one dashboard
Operations
• Standardize configuration of hosts within a cluster based on user-provided information. E.g., automatic vswitch provisioning, mounting container on every node
• Setup and configure virtual networks
• Create and delete virtual machines
• Clone new VMs from base VM
• Determine initial placement of virtual machines based on resource availability
• Configure VMs after provisioning
• Configure the network in the provisioned VM - DHCP management across cluster, dynamic IP assigned to a VM for the life of the VM
• Monitor and report key metrics for both VMs and the infrastructure (hypervisor, physical nodes)
• Easily add and remove nodes
• Upgrade NOS, hypervisor and firmware in a Nutanix cluster
• Put hosts in maintenance mode
• Live migrate VMs across nodes
• Rapidly create snapshots and clones of VMs
