Behind The MagicDistributed Storage Fabric
§ Software-defined approach with Controller VM per node
§ Pooled storage resources across the platform and scale as needed
§ High performance § Auto optimized
Nutanix Controller VM(one per node) ü Start small with 3 nodes
ü Easily scale storage and compute on demand

CapacityEfficiency Through Compression
Inline and post-process compression
Increase useable disk space
• Inline and post-process compression for different workloads
• Increase effective storage capacity up to 4x
• Compress a variety of data types at minimal CPU cost with Google Snappy• High speed for low latency
15
CapacityIncrease useable disk space with Erasure Coding-X
Low computational cost for both coding and
rebuilds
Can increase useable capacity
by up to 80%
No affect on Data Locality
A strip is constructed from different vDisks on different nodes
Once the strip and parity has been calculated the replica event the replica extent groups can be removed, providing storage savings

Identify Aura components for UC solution
Size Nutanix based on Aura components
Deploy Nutanix infrastructure
Deploy Aura VMs on Nutanix using
vCenter
Eliminate three-tier deployment headaches

VM Requirements GatheringCustomer Example Input and Specs from 6.3
For each VM• # vCPUs, RAM, Storage
• IOPS, if documented (Usually minimal. Check Nutanix RA)
• Assuming 24 core nodes:Reserving 4 cores for CVM:20 usable cores208 vCPU / 20 = 10.4 nodes
11 + 1 (N+1) = 12 nodes
Large CPU requirements. Minimal RAM and Storage.
24
VM Layout and System SizingOne block from previous example (4 nodes)
24
UC VM Placement
• Stagger critical VMs based on HA (CM, SM, Presence)
• Watch for 100% CPU reservation requirements
• Increasing core count can help to decrease node count• IF – VMs fit
• Beware monster VMs that take a whole node
• Use at least N+1

Hyperconvergence Advantages for UC
Improved performance with hyperconvergenceAuto-tiering of data between disk and flash enhances performance and eliminate network dependent latency
Eliminate forklift upgrade with webscaleScale one node at a time eliminating the need for expensive, complex upgrades or purchase of new arrays
Rapid deployment of additional server nodesMeet new business initiatives in time by adding capacity as required and in under 5 minutes
Rapid, risk- free scale Lower risk of downtime than traditional architecture as data is maintained on multiple nodes
High resiliency with distributed architecture
Replicate workloads to the public cloudSeamlessly integrate with the public cloud using Cloud Connect
