Content silos
18 
How to engage? 
• Offer to help 
• Not because you have the answer 
• But because you can derive some 
advantage 
• And leave dogma aside
19 
What to accept? 
• Content silos are here to stay 
• Different solutions have different 
benefits 
• Breaking down organizational barriers is 
hard 
• Your offers of help won’t always be 
accepted

Editor's Notes

  1. 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
