Nutanix Weekly: High performance Nutanix Unified Storage powers VDI

March 05, 2024 01:00 - 48 minutes - 33.5 MB

Deploying a VDI environment for a globally distributed workforce, BYOD, hot desk environments and call centers is complex and is hard to manage. However, the storage that supports VDI to run VMs and unstructured user profile data need not be. Exponential growth of unstructured data is putting a tremendous strain on the legacy three-tier architecture of VDI environments. Whether it is a single user VDI or a multi-user remote desktop service, deteriorating VDI performance, complexity in manag...

In this article, we take a deeper look into multiple cloud deployments—which often don’t equate to true multicloud—and why they can be a challenge.  To survive in an increasingly competitive and shifting marketplace, organizations continue to look for ways to increa...

Nutanix Weekly: Deliver Enterprise Grade Edge AI/ML with Nutanix

November 14, 2023 12:00 - 39 minutes - 27.1 MB

In the past, the Hyperscalers have always been positioned as the default/ “you can’t go wrong” deployment zone for AI/ML workloads. But this is not true for many use-cases, see why AI and machine learning are drifting away from the cloud.  Real-world examples from many ISVs and customers tell a different story with multiple drivers: low-latency, data privacy and cost (especially at scale) that make the Core DC (owned or hosted) a better choice. With leading market analysts agreeing on explo...

Nutanix Weekly: Honey I Shrunk My Cluster (Multiple Nodes Down in RF2)

December 16, 2022 23:00 - 41 minutes - 28.9 MB

Within Nutanix we have Replication Factor (How many data copies are written in the cluster) and Redundancy Factor (how many nodes/disks can go offline). Both can have a value of 2 and 3. What is what is explained here: Blog Post. So, when we have a larger cluster, we always recommend using RF3 (Redundancy Factor 3) as the risk is higher that you have multiple nodes/disks go offline at the same time.

Nutanix Weekly: Why HCI (Nutanix) Truly is a Great Fit for Healthcare Applications

November 24, 2021 13:00 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MB

I recently read a blog post from a storage vendor attempting to make the case that HCI (Hyper-converged Infrastructure) is not a good fit for healthcare.
