Hyperconvergence has allowed us to scale our development and production footprint down from eleven to just five equipment racks, equating to around a 55% reduction in

what it costs to operate the infrastructure.

- Bob Dussault, Director of Infrastructure and Data Security at Hallmark Business Connections

$One of the key elements of hyperconverged infrastructure is its ease-of-use and integrated software, and the Nutanix Xtreme Computing Platform is no different. Administrators will save time and hassle with Nutanix Prism, an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that simplifies provisioning, updating, upgrading, and maintenance. Nutanix Prism also makes it simple to integrate third-party cloud management systems

Nutanix PRISM is an end-to-end, consumer-grade management solution for virtualized

data center environments combining several

aspects of administration and reporting:

One-click infrastructure management

One-click operational insights

One-click planning

The Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family delivers more cores and more threads. Embedded

technologies enhance technical compute and provide hardware-level security that hardens

platforms and helps protect systems from security compromises.

The Intel® SSD Data Center Series is fine-tuned for data center applications, delivering

consistently amazing performance and reliability. SSDs continue to be refined with

the inclusion of Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) technology, designed specifically

for flash.

10 GbE Intel® Ethernet enables high-throughput for major applications such as big data and cloud computing. As the technology continue to evolve, Ethernet continues to get

faster with 40 GbE speeds for the most demanding environments such as HPC, and

for whatever the future holds in store.

SDS is not:A single product or solutionA universal storage solution

Abstraction of SW from HW, provides flexibility and scalability

Provisioning of resources dynamically (pay-as-you-grow)

Orchestration of diverse storage systems through application SLOs to enable seamless access

SDS is a framework: providing efficient, flexible, scalable storage resource management

Dynamic, policy-driven storage resource management

SDS will provide a convenient way to manage all storage in the datacenter

Framework is still in development

So, how to get started with SDS?

– Focus on the storage system layer

– Implement scale-out storage systems from OEMs and ISVs built on standard, high-volume servers

As SDS controller solutions become available, deploy them to manage diverse storage systems

SDS Vision to Action:

Deploying storage systems on standard, high-volume servers today supports a seamless transition to SDS tomorrow
