Don’t wait until it’s too late! The Nutanix recertification grace period ends on June 30. Last January, Nutanix University announced a new recertification policy that impacts all technical certifications - NCA, all NCPs, and NCM. Unless you take action to renew them within 2 years of the date they were earned, they will be expired and no longer valid. This policy gives our users a way to show that they are keeping their skills current and continually developing new ones. Many of you have already taken steps to recertify, and we thank you for your continued involvement in the program. However, if you have not and if your most recent certification is more than 2 years old, you only have until June 30, 2023 to recertify and stay current. UPDATE: Grace period extended through August 14, 2023. Depending on your highest level of certification, you have multiple options: Your Highest Level of Certification Your Options to Recertify NCA v5 NCA v6 Any NCP v6

And after dozens of beta tests, the reviews are in! If you want to learn more about what they’re all talking about, check out this video with exam designer Joshua Andrews. You can also see some examples of the exam scenarios in our Monday Masterclass blog series.

This is a guest post from Srujana Puttagunta - Senior Product Marketing Manager RubrikAre you attending the .NEXT 2023 conference in Chicago this year? As a gold sponsor, Rubrik is excited to showcase its industry-leading data security platform designed specifically to combat the growing threat of cyberattacks and help organizations recover with speed and confidence.Legacy backups are obsolete – here's whyAccording to a recent survey, 66% of organizations were hit with ransomware within the last year. Relying on legacy backups as a defense against cyberattacks is ineffective and obsolete in today's rapidly evolving threat landscape.Legacy backups are vulnerable to cyberattacks, fail to provide critical insights and visibility into what data is at risk, and don’t allow you to simulate and test your recovery, which makes it difficult to ensure that the restored data is free of malware.Rubrik Security Cloud: A trusted solution for cyber recoveryRubrik Security Cloud is the leading data se

How to get off the sidelines and accomplish your datacenter modernization goalsThis is a guest post from Joseph George, Vice President of Compute, Industry and Strategic Alliances, Hewlett Packard EnterpriseWhen I talk to customers, nearly all of them have datacenter modernization on their minds.

Some want the latest IT so they can take advantage of cool new technologies like AI, blockchain, containers, and quantum computing.Many want to do all of this.

Today, organizations face many choices on where to run their applications and what is best for their employees and customers. The use of public (shared) clouds has emerged as an alternative to running applications on a private (with the organization’s data centers). While each has benefits, many enterprises are using both types of clouds. While specific applications may require highly tuned servers, storage, or networking profiles, many applications can be run in either environment.Enterprises may run hundreds of different applications which consume differing amounts of compute, storage, and networking performance, to deliver agreed-upon SLAs to the customers (users). Highly tuned systems may also include a specific amount of cores, memory, storage types, and networking options unavailable in a public cloud environment. While public clouds offer many types of instances to customers, there are still many configurations that cannot be rented in a public cloud. For example, if terabytes o
