5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
You may be aware of Objects Browser, the powerful yet easy to use browser-based s3 client that comes built into every Nutanix Objects deployment (if you have no idea what I’m talking about you can get a quick overview of it here). Well, this already extremely useful and popular feature of Objects has just become even more useful with the latest release of Objects (v4.3), which adds a special new capability known as Objects Visualizer. This feature lets you view and, in some cases, directly edit the contents of a stored object without explicitly having to download it to disk. This paves the way for more efficient workflows that can save you time and might make some of the software tooling on your desktop redundant. Pretty cool huh? Let's take a closer look... Think about the many types of files organisations store in their S3-accessible buckets: videos, images, audio files, PDFs, configuration files, automation scripts… a wide variety of unstructured and semi-structured data.

Nutanix Objects is a modern, software-defined, scale-out object storage solution that excels in a number of use cases requiring S3-compatible storage. One such use case is big data, which really is more an umbrella term encompassing everything from analytics to artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). Typically big data workloads involve storing huge amounts of data, but at the same time they require high IOPS, low latency access to the data. For example, many analytics solutions support interactive queries, which must be responded to in a timely manner. With its blazing performance, features optimized for analytics workloads and application vendor validations in this space, Objects is a fantastic fit for the needs of big data - the ideal basis for your data lake.A white paper written recently by IDC discusses the role of modern object stores in the world of big data, and in particular Nutanix Objects. The paper shares interesting insights into the growing object storage
In this video - which walks through setting up Objects for multi-tenancy/self service - you’ll see how s3 users in different departments, organizations, or domains can have a single Nutanix object store divided up between them for efficient and secure resource sharing. The video covers such features as multi directory integration for IAM, multi-FQDN, quotas, objects browser (self-service portal) and bucket tagging…. and in true software-defined fashion we're continuing to add features that make Objects ever more optimized for multi-tenancy.
