- Topaktuell: Gartner hat vor kurzem seinen Magic Quadrant for Integrated Systems herausgegeben. Wie Sie sehen können, ist Nutanix im „Leaders“-Quadrant positioniert und wird als der visionärste Anbieter im Bereich der integrierten Systeme angesehen. Visionärer als jeder andere Anbieter auf diesem Markt. Und dies, wenn bedenkt, dass das Unternehmen erst vor 5 Jahren gegründet wurde.
- Zahlungen sind unsichtbar geworden. Es gab eine Zeit, in der wir Devisen verwendeten – im Flughafen am Schalter anstanden, um Geld umzutauschen und uns Gedanken über Wechselkurse machten. Dann gingen wir zu Kreditkarten über und mussten dann kein Bargeld mehr mit uns führen. Wir haben einfach unsere Karten verwendet und die Banken mussten sich um die Bestimmung des Wechselkurses und den Umtausch usw. kümmern. Mit Neuerungen wie Uber, Apple Pay usw. sind Zahlungen auch unsichtbar geworden. Devisen oder Kreditkarten werden dabei nicht ausgetauscht. Die Abwicklung erfolgt direkt zwischen den Banken übers Telefon oder über Computer.

- The last and most important aspect of invisibility is guesswork. IT infrastructure today forces you to make predictions based on tribal knowledge or vendor recommendations. When you deploy Applications on Amazon or Azure, there is no guess work. But when you order infrastructure for the next 3 years, there is guesswork. There is guesswork in terms of what performance you can extract from a piece of hardware. Think of Google nest. It adjusts room automatically temperature based on your preference. If you are inside the house, it knows it and adjusts the temperature to what you are most comfortable with. Gone are the days when you go change the thermostat during different parts of day/year.

- Key Points: Native convergence (or hyper-convergence) is critical in the modern datacenter Traditional three-tier architecture has scale-out compute (with virtualization) connected to scale-up storage The storage network adds latency and becomes a bottleneck, especially as flash storage becomes more prevalent in all storage systems Data has to be retrieved from storage every time some operation needs to be done in the server. This north-south traffic kills performance because it does not respect data gravity Deploying and scaling out storage is complex and error-prone Storage is managed in terms of LUNs and RAID sets, while hypervisors talk about vdisks – different granularity Admins have to set up port bonding, multipathing, I/O mapping etc. to deploy the network Nutanix eliminates the complexity and bottleneck of the storage network and delivers a converged solution for virtual environments that can be scale out on demand

- Angesichts dieses großen Kundenkreises bestand unsere Hauptaufgabe im vergangenen Jahr darin, den Nutzen für unsere Kunden genau zu quantifizieren. IDC hat soeben diese unabhängige Studie bei 13 Nutanix Kunden in aller Welt abgeschlossen und dabei einen phänomenalen Geschäftswert festgestellt. Die Einfachheit, von der wir immer sprechen, drückt sich in den diesen Zahlen aus: – ROI – 510 %, Amortisierung in 7,5 Monaten – TCO (Gesamtbetriebskosten) – 58 % Ersparnis – Erwähnen Sie weitere Punkte auf dieser Folie. Diese Ersparnis ist auf Einsparungen bei der Infrastruktur, der Verwaltung, den Einrichtungen und auf die Produktivität des Betriebs zurückzuführen und unterstreicht das Leitbild der „Unsichtbarkeit“ unseres Unternehmens.

- Warum haben es uns zur Aufgabe gemacht, die Infrastruktur des Rechenzentrums unsichtbar zu machen, damit sich die IT auf Anwendungen und Services konzentrieren kann. Was Führt Computing, Storage und Virtualisierung nativ in einer schlüsselfertigen hyperkonvergenten Lösung zusammen, die in 30 bis 60 Minuten implementiert werden kann und jede Anwendung, gleich welcher Größenordnung ausführt. Wie Die einzigartige Xtreme Computing-Plattform von Nutanix basiert auf Web-Scale-Technologien und -Architekturen, die ihren Ursprung in großen Internet- und Cloud-Unternehmen wie Google, Facebook und Amazon haben.
- What’s NEXT? .NEXT conference 2016 in Las Vegas. For folks who haven’t been to Wynn before, it is one of the best hotels in Vegas and a fantastic avenue for the conference. We are expecting to have over 2500 people at the event. Join us in Vegas next year.
- Before we talk about Hyperconvergence what it actually brings to your datacenter, it is worth spending time understanding how datacenter infrastructure has evolved over the last couple of decades. This was the most common deployment model a couple of decades back. Virtualization did not exist. Applications were running on physical servers with DAS – spinning disks. If you needed better performance or if the application was large with a lot of data, you bought BAS (Big A$$ Servers). All the obvious pain points existed around predicting application growth, data growth, over provisioning etc. To help things along, shared storage came into existence – SAN and NAS solutions. They typically had disk shelves and a couple of storage controllers, that exposed the storage through diff protocols to the servers. Had obvious benefits around having shared storage – but lead to a couple of problems: Planning/budgeting and increased cost Storage controllers became the bottleneck
- Flash came along and it helped with performance. But as servers became more dense and # of VMs on server started growing, the bottleneck shifted from disks to the storage controllers. Whether it was flash based storage or spinning disks, the storage controller started being the bottleneck. Every data read/write goes from the VM to the host, down through the network to the storage controller to the disks. Every hop along the way adds latency.
- Hyperconvergence solves this issue and a lot more. We still have servers with direct attached storage. But what we do is pool storage from all the servers in a cluster into a shared storage pool so that storage from all the independent nodes are available to all the nodes in the cluster and the associated VMs. You can start off with as little as 3 nodes in a cluster and incrementally grow from there. When you need additional capacity – you just add a node – either compute heavy, storage heavy depending on what you need. All the enterprise storage capabilities that shared storage solutions such as NetApp and EMC provided, Nutanix provides it. Now addressing the bottleneck/hotspot problem in shared storage – the storage controller is virtualized and is present on every node in the system. When you can virtualize mission critical workloads such as Oracle and SQL, why not virtualize storage as well. To us storage is an App as well and should be the first App that should be virtualized. Everytime a node is added a CVM gets added. All the requests from the user VM will be handled by the CVM that sits on the same node. So requests don’t typically have to go through the network.
- Purpose of the slide: 3 tier stack is complex. Focus should be on Applications, but before we get to the Application layer, we need to build the physical infrastructure which is complex involving several vendors. Nutanix simplifies datacenter infrastructure by integrating multiple components within the datacenter all the way up to the virtualization layer. Main Points: 1. Legacy infrastructure has complexity written all over it. Multiple layers that needs to be assembled and made to work 2. First you need networking – most enterprises have 10Gb ToR switches from companies Cisco/Arista 3. You then need servers – from vendors like HP/Dell/Cisco 4. You then buy expensive storage from NetApp, EMC 5.You then have specialized HBAs that sit on the server to improve performance 6. You then have dedicated Fibre channel connection and switches to connect the servers to storage 7. You then get to the virtualization layer where you have hypervisors and virtualization management layers from Vmware, Msft and Redhat. 8. While the focus should be on the Application, you have to go through all these layers before you start focusing on Applications. <Nutanix> With Nutanix you still use the 10 Gb ToR switches you have to interlink Nutanix nodes and for external communitcation But all complexity above is taken away with a single Nutanix appliance that can scale to as many nodes as you want In addition to using ESXi and Hyper-V customers also have a choice of going with the built in Acropolis Hypervisor giving them ultimate flexibility. This simplified infrastructure deployment significantly and helps businesses bring products to market a lot quickly than what is possible now.

- Key Points: We are not stopping. We are building more capabilities across the stack in bringing more storage capabilities to our customers. Talking Points: In addition to everything we have covered earlier, we are continuing to invest in making sure Nutanix is the best storage platform for all your virtualized workloads. First, instead of just supporting multiple cookie-cutter configuration, we are also supporting configure to order HW models. This way you can choose the configuration that best fits your workloads by configuring the amount of memory, CPU, storage depending on what your applications need. We also have the Nutanix sizer tool that will help you accurately predict what kind of hardware you need to run your workloads. Instead of having complex excel spreadsheets, you can use the sizer tool to deterministically find out what hardware you need. We have also introduced a storage only hardware platform – 6035-C. This helps customers add only storage to their nutanix cluster instead of adding compute and storage if they wish for it. As many of you may be aware, Microsoft will not officially support Exchange deployments on NFS. We are now introducing support for in-guest support for iSCSI to add Nutanix vDisks into Windows guests by using the native Microsoft iSCSI software initiator adapter. We also will support the ability to pin VMs to flash tier so that data is not migrated out of the flash tier based on usage patterns. For example, you can pin an Oracle VM to the flash tier so that all of the VM always sits on the flash tier ensuring high performance and low latency for the entire VM. Lastly, we have also introduced Erasure coding. As a reminder, we already support Dedup and Compression. But these capacity optimization techniques are workload dependent and the actual savings depend on the kind of data. EC-X, our patent pending implementation of Erasure coding can help increase total usable capacity by up to 75%.

- The demo walks through creating a storage container. Points to land: No understanding of storage required Datastores will show up once you create a container and you can deploy VMs instantly Enabling resilience and capacity optimizations included
- Key Points: Natively built virtualization solution and ability for Apps to move across hypervisors depending on business needs. Talking points: The last piece of Acropolis is the App Mobility Fabric. As mentioned before Nutanix natively ships a KVM based hypervisor and VM management solution. This includes most of the virtualization capabilities that enterprises need today. In addition to that with the App mobility fabric, Admins can seamlessly move their Apps across different hypervisors. This enables them to host their production environment on Vmware ESXi and their Dev test in Acropolis Hypervisor and seamlessly move from Dev/Test to Prod. For a lot of customers, this significantly saves on their Vmware ELAs. In the long run, AMF will also support the ability to move Apps to public cloud or to a container based technology.
- Frame the conversation by discussing the high level issues with virtualization vendors
- Purpose of the slide: 3 tier stack is complex. Focus should be on Applications, but before we get to the Application layer, we need to build the physical infrastructure which is complex involving several vendors. Nutanix simplifies datacenter infrastructure by integrating multiple components within the datacenter all the way up to the virtualization layer. Main Points: 1.

- Walkthrough of Hypervisor features. Recommend not spend a lot of time here. Focus that 80% of the most used features in any Virt solution are built in and available.

- The demo walks through AMF – a capability that will be available very soon. Helps you unlock the application from the underlying environment. You have multiple hosts here with different hypervisors – ESXi, Hyper-V and Acropolis Hypervisor. What you can essentially do now is choose a single node and convert the node from one hypervisor to another. This node for example has ESXi. With a single click you can convert to AHV. We will automatically move the VMs, clean up the host, refoundation the system with new hypervisor, convert the VMs, inject the right drivers and metadata and restart the system. This process will typically take a few minutes to complete. But you get the point. In the long run we will support more hypervisors and support back n forth operations as well.
- AWS Migration: Just like the previous example, you can also move VMs from private cloud to public cloud. This is a proof of concept for what AMF can enable. You can click a single VM or a bunch of VMs and move it to AWS easily.
- Operating systems supported by Acropolis: Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor has been tested with the following guest OSes: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, Windows 7 (under Microsoft SVVP program) CentOS Canonical Ubuntu SUSE Linux Oracle Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux (tested, but not officially certified by Red Hat) Other flavors of Linux Applications qualified to run on Nutanix Acropolis? Microsoft applications such as SharePoint, Exchange, SQL Server, Dynamics and Lync MongoDB Unidesk Citrix NetScaler Oracle DB AppSense Avaya
- We are also very excited to announce our deep partnership with Citrix. Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp are now certified on Acropolis Hypervisor. So moving forward, for your VDI deployments – all you need is Nutanix and Citrix. This is for both the Citrix infrastructure servers as well as the desktops. This not only helps you bring down your licensing costs/TCO down significantly, but also simplifies support.

- When you need information, you go to Google. It has simplified how people access information. We are doing the same thing with Prism. Prism has a built in search engine now that supports free-text searching. Completely eliminates any learning curve you may have. You can search for “create vm”, “clone vm”, “show alerts”, “services” and it will intelligently display results based on your search criteria. It will also give you an easy way to perform the action with a single click. This is how we are bringing consumer-grade simplicity to the datacenter management. No longer do you have to deal with old wizards and clunky UI.
- This is the new dashboard view in Prism. The dashboards are fully customizable – that means you can create different views of your application and infrastructure. You can create dashboards for how your Oracle applications are running as well as how the underlying storage is performing. Gives you at a glance view of all the information you care about. Our developes, for fun, have created dashboards with happy monkeys to indicate that everything is humming along fine. <Search> What you see now is the Google like search bar I mentioned earlier. Even though Prism is extremely intuitive and easy to use, you can now search and perform actions with a single click from the search bar. You can search for applications installed, VMs deployed, you can create VMs/delete VMs. Like Google, Prism also knows what you search for frequently and based on that tries to guess what you actually meant. The search spans across deployed VMs/applications, knowledgebase articles, alerts etc. and the results are all shown centrally. Lets say we search for Oracle now – it shows the Oracle Application that is installed. The Oracle App has 3 VMs, we automatically correlate and combine alerts from all 3 VMs so that you see an application centric view as opposed to having to figure out the individual VMs that constitute the application and trying to figure out how they work in conjunction. For example, you see a spike in the I/O latency here, you can instantly correlate it with events that were triggered during the same time. What you are seeing here is an an event that shows that there was a problem with one of the controller VMs at the same time. So troubleshooting issues with applications is extremely simple and straightforward now.
- This is a great demo that shows a good end to end flow of operations that you perform in your datacenter on an everyday basis. What you see here is the entity view in Prism. The entity view lists all your resources in different views – by applications, by clusters, by VMs or by hosts. Lets look at the VM view now. As you can imagine, it lists all theVMs and other related information. You can slice and dice information based on host, you can add the power state etc. Lets now create a VM, you will see how easy it is to create VM. Give it a name, choose the container, choose the vDisk. What you also see is the ability to choose a virtual network, what is included is the ability to spin up a DHCP server and create a virtual network so that when you create VMs, you can automatically choose the virtual network. This makes network infrastructure management extremely simple. Once the VM is created, now lets filter the VMs and show the new VM. The next action we are going to perform is clone the VM. Lets create, say, 100 clones of that VM we just created. It is extremely simple – point to remember that the hypervisor has not been involved in any of the operations so far. All these, like I mentioned before, are file operations. So the entire process is a lot more efficient and quick. So we have a 101 VMs now. Lets power them on now. What you are seeing is that the VMs are starting up automatically across different hosts in the cluster. The automatic initial placement algorithm ensures that VMs are placed on hosts based on the load on the hosts. So what we have done is created a 100 new VMs. That means, we may have used up a lot of capacity and you see an alert related to that. Now lets go into the capacity trends view. This is a new feature that will come in the 4.5.1 release in a couple of months. You can track capacity usage trends and as you can see, there is a sudden spike in capacity usage after we created the new VMs. We can get into details and see the trends based on storage, CPU and memory. CPU and Memory usage is fine – so lets look at the storage now. What you see is that we will run out of storage capacity very soon. We have a few options now – look at how we can optimize existing capacity or add additional nodes. Prism automatically looks at VMs that have not been turned on for a while or snapshots that havent been used for long time and suggests removing them to reclaim additional capacity. For this demo, we will go ahead and add another node to the cluster. Prism is very intelligent in terms of how it discovers new nodes – given that we are running out of storage, it will automatically identify a storage heavy node and recommend that you add it to the cluster. You immediately get additional capacity now. So end to end datacenter operations all managed centrally.
