Challenges with Access Controls for Unstructured DataBlog

This post was authored by Mike McGhee, Director TMM  and Rishi Thaper, Principal Product ManagerImplementing effective access control for unstructured data is a challenging and complex task. A typical mid- to large-size enterprise organization has a massive amount of unstructured data within a dynamic environment. Unstructured data is growing at an unprecedented pace, and to make matters worse, maintaining permissions on repositories of unstructured data is becoming even more challenging.There can be thousands of shares in an organization, hundreds of thousands of folders and numerous control points, thousands of users and groups, and nested security groups. Every day, people change roles or leave organizations, projects & applications are initiated in different parts of organizations, requiring permission changes for various employees and contractors.New requests for granting and revoking access come daily to IT teams as well as identity and access managers, which can make access

Nutanix Files Storage Episode 4.4 - Synchronous Replication AwakensBlog

For mission-critical applications in various industries like banking, capital markets, insurance and healthcare, there is a need to support highly available synchronous data replication to ensure high level platform protection and availability. Providing this functionality is key for a business to function unhindered. The cost of data unavailability can be significant to a business, with some estimates measuring the impact at several thousand dollars per minute and upwards of six figures or more if the unavailability lasts for an hour or more. And this doesn’t take into account recoverability to the latest dataset right before the failure. With these types of dollar amounts, the inability to bring the system back to its latest data point can have a tremendous impact on the viability of a business. Customers need RPOs of zero to help ensure any incident that takes down a primary site will allow a secondary disaster recovery site to be brought online quickly with the latest copy of the d

Convert Your Cluster to AHV and Configure Leap for Disaster RecoveryBlog

On my previous blog (Link) I showed you how to build a metro availability. Now I want to "upgrade" both clusters to AHV and enable data protection with the help of Leap to achieve an RPO of zero (0).This blog post are two posts combined. First is the in-place conversion of ESX to AHV and the second is how to enable and configure Leap.ConversionBefore we can change the hypervisor to AHV there are a couple of requirements/things to remember:NGT tools must be installed in each VM: This makes sure we can boot the guest vm's after conversion. Each host must have a uplink NIC team. LACP based load balancing is not supported: So make sure this is turned off on the dSwitch (and on the physical switch). HA and DRS should be enabled; DR activities will be paused during conversion.As my setup is not changed/optimized, I need to change some settings. My vSwitch0 has the following configuration:This will give the following error: "external vswitch vSwitch0 does not have homogeneous uplinks" during
