Editor's Notes
- #5 Technology is increasingly becoming a strategic enabler in every industry. Businesses have started depending on IT more than ever before to compete effectively and get an edge, and business leaders want information technology platforms that can enable new business models quickly. They want to be able to quickly deliver new products and services based on market demand, to get rich actionable insights about their customers and operations, and so on. But IT infrastructure today cannot deliver what business needs. So let’s talk about how we got here. 15-20 years ago, applications ran on dedicated physical servers with storage directly attached. This worked great when there were few applications that businesses relied on, but became more complex to manage as the number of apps grew. You also had resource inefficiencies because applications running on over-utilized servers couldn’t use the available capacity on free servers. Virtualization solved this problem by decoupling applications from physical servers and making compute a scale-out resource. In order for virtualization to become enterprise-ready, you needed features like live migration or vMotion, VM high availability, DRS and load balancing and so on. This created the need for shared storage across physical servers. While the SAN wasn’t created with virtualization in mind, it was the only proven technology available at the time. Architecturally, the SAN is a scale-up storage system. You figure out how much storage capacity and performance you’ll need in the next few years, and pick an appropriate size storage controller ahead of time. As your storage needs grow, you end up with multiple storage systems that become resource silos. The problem with this is that with virtualization, compute is a scale-out resource but it’s trying to work with storage that is a scale-up resource.
- #6 This legacy architecture makes every step of the infrastructure lifecycle more complex, from buying and deploying, to managing, scaling and supporting. You buy storage in big increments, and need to figure out how much capacity and performance you'll need in the future. So you’re buying for the future end state, and if you didn’t predict your needs correctly, then you take on that risk. Many enterprise customers end up overprovisioning storage to mitigate some of this risk. Deploying this infrastructure stack takes days or weeks. You have to install solutions from 5-6 different vendors. This includes the SAN itself, one or more fibre channel storage networking switches, the servers, an HBA that goes in the server and talks to storage, a data networking switch and a virtualization solution. You have to make sure that the components work together based on their interoperability matrices, configure the fibre channel network correctly and so on. Companies typically have dedicated teams of specialized IT professionals focused on each part of this infrastructure stack. As the infrastructure footprint goes, the sheer complexity of coordinating between these teams goes up. This complexity extends into managing the infrastructure stack as well. Admins need to look at element managers from each of the different vendors in the stack, including storage, networking, servers and virtualization. They need to piece together a complete picture of what’s going on in the infrastructure stack based on these limited views. Because you have so many different disparate pieces working together, automating things end-to-end is next to impossible. Even in so-called converged infrastructure stacks that provide a single UI to manage the stack, admins often have to go back to the element managers to do anything beyond the most basic and routine of tasks. As your needs grow, scaling servers is easy because of the scale-out architecture, but storage and the storage network are painful and take days or weeks. Finally, if you encounter some issue, for example an application slows down or becomes unresponsive, diagnosing the root cause is again very challenging and often involves dealing with many different vendor support teams and multiple hand-offs. All this complexity means that IT teams spend a lot of their time standing up the infrastructure stack and dealing with day to day management and firefighting rather than focusing on things that actually drive business value.
- #7 Let’s now look at how Nutanix solved this infrastructure challenge. Nutanix pioneered the concept of hyperconverged infrastructure. Hyperconvergence natively converges compute and storage into x86 servers with attached flash and hard disk drives that are deployed as a cluster. Customers can start with a small footprint — three nodes in as little as 2U of rack space, and can add compute and storage capacity when needed. Hyperconvergence radically simplifies how infrastructure is deployed and managed, and reduces the footprint of IT infrastructure by up to 90%.
- #8 Purpose of the Slide: Talk about where and how web-scale IT originated, and what some of the common are between different web-scale data centers. Web-scale data centers embody many of the principals of invisible infrastructure, and serve as the inspiration for Nutanix enterprise computing solutions. Main Points: Web companies like Google and Facebook started pushing the limits of existing infrastructure systems and processes in ways that traditional businesses did not. They needed infrastructure that could support their business requirements (rapid application development cycles, scale on demand, cost containment). They tried using existing infrastructure solutions, but quickly realized that legacy infra was a poor fit for their needs. Over time, these companies developed an alternate approach to IT that enabled them to get past limitations in infrastructure. Some common traits of web-scale IT: Infrastructure built from commodity server hardware pooled together using intelligent software. This allows customers to start small and scale one server at a time – true scale-out The software in the system is distributed across all the nodes. You don’t have central metadata servers or name nodes. You don’t see controller bottlenecks Embarrassingly parallel operations – everything in the system, including storage functions like deduplication and metadata management and system cleanup, is distributed across all nodes. There are no hotspots or bottlenecks, allowing for massive scale Compute and storage sit very close to each other. Data does not have to go back and forth between storage and compute over a network. Data has gravity, so co-locating storage and compute eliminates network bottlenecks and system slowdown Heavy automation eliminates the need for expensive, error-prone manual operations
- #9 Xtreme Computing Platform (XCP) delivers invisible infrastructure, enabling IT teams to focus on what matters to them — the applications and services that power their business. Comprised of two comprehensive product families, Nutanix Acropolis and Nutanix Prism, XCP extends the industry-leading hyperconverged solution to enable application independence from infrastructure with an advanced app mobility feature, native virtualization and consumer-grade search capability. These innovations greatly simplify the datacenter, reduce costs and enhance IT service delivery.
- #10 The Nutanix scale-out cluster architecture is made up of nodes which are nothing but standard x86 servers w direct attached SSDs and HDDs. Unlike traditional infrastructure with a finite number of storage controllers, each additional node added to the Nutanix cluster incorporates a storage controller VM ensuring no bottlenecks in the architecture as you scale out. In doing so, you completely avoid forklift upgrades, irregularities in performance as new users are added, and reduce footprint significantly
- #12 Now to manage all these features, Like our platform – our GUI Management interface is also distributed it can be Accessed through any of the controller VM’s It’s all HTML 5, no java, flash or any other plugins We keep up to Last 3 months of Data, We can also leverage REST API, Python, Powershell, for all of your automation needs Alerting is managed from within PRISM We have a Phone home feature – if anything goes wrong most likely our support staff will know before you do and have already opened a ticket on your behalf and probably tried to reach out to you already. As mentioned throughout we are VM centric – so we can achieve deep per VM monitoring and statistics Hopefully tho, you will not be using this UI very often as we know our platform will simplify your IT lives and your day to day to administration – Now you can focus on the VM’s and applications running on them
- #14 With this large set of customers, we have been on a mission the past year to in great detail quantify the benefits our customers are seeing. IDC just finished this independent study with 13 Nutanix customers across the world and saw phenomenal business value. The simplicity we speak about is really quantified in these numbers: - ROI - 510%, pay back 7.5 months - TCO - 58% - mention a few more from the slide These savings are coming from infra savings, management, facilities, and business productivity and back up the invisible mission statement we have.
- #29 Nutanix natively realizes in a VDI environment if data is being called from other nodes and creates a local clone on each node to ensure both data locality and to prevent boot storms when many calls are being made to the same "gold master" on a single node. This is done at a software level and without storage penalty behind the scenes without user intervention.
- #31 Important for them all to understand this story
