8. A true modular approach
Backside View
4 nodes, combining storage and compute in one 2U chassis

9. Scale one node at a time
Scaling without architecture rework
No more risky huge refresh
Increase performance as you grow
10000 IOPS per node, 40000 IOPS per block
Predictable cost model
From 100 to 130 VM server per block,
From 200 to 400 VM desktop per block
9

10. Benefits
Divide datacenter footprint by 5 to 8:
2U = 1 block = 4 nodes = up to 80 cores, 2TB of RAM, 3.2TB of SSD, 20TB of HDD
Divide power consumption by 2 to 5:
1 block of 4 nodes = 1000W-1500W power consumption
Save time on operations:
15mn to install a cluster, single point for support,
no downtime for maintenance & upgrade due to distributed architecture
Freedom of choice:
VMware, KVM and Hyper-V
Reduce CAPEX:
Nutanix cost 20% to 40% less than equivalent legacy architecture based on SAN
