firmwares upgrade of NX1065
We are just awaiting delivery and installation of our Nutanix platform. Very exciting. We have purchased two clusters "production" and "DR". Can you point me in the direction of any DR guides/resources as I'll need to be planning a DR failover/failback. 😎
I'm currently working on building a home lab using Nutanix for more hands on experience.

Updating one of two clusters. Now - firmware =)

Hello from Saskatoon!

My organization just signed off on an all new Nutanix implementation. We’re migrating our 2 datacentres from VMware ESXi 5.5 to Nutanix. At the same time we’re standing up a third site for DR, retention, and lab. So I’m in the process of learning all I can about everything Nutanix!

We are still trying to fine tune our new Nutanix environment

Long-time VMware architect looking for something less irritating and more modern

We are new to Nutanix so we are still working on rebuilding legacy systems on Nutanix and building out our deployment while integrating new features.

We are working on a couple of large projects at the moment:

Nutanix CE Lab - Testing Amazon CloudConnect
  • 3x Supermicro servers (4th soon)
  • Currently seeing 12,000 IOPS, 3GB/s disk throughput and submicrosecond latency on 1GB/no jumbo frame
Nutanix production environment - Migrating from HP/Netapp/VMware to AHV, migrating remote sites to mini Nutanix clusters for additional snapshot replication destinations.

AWS Disaster Recovery using CloudConnect and async replication with 1G AWS DirectConnect.

I’m working on doing multiple SATADOM firmware upgrades.

We just installed 4 3175's, 2 3260's, and 2 6135's. 'White Glove' install and knowledge transfer from the nutanix GSO team and cudos to Jim and John for the excellent planning. We stuck with ESX for the server virt. so that we could keep running veeam. We moved our server workload from the old 3-tier and it's smoking hot. I/O bottelnecks are gone and we are prepping to impliment CAD VDI (w/VGPU) using Horizion enterprise on the 3175's. Will keep you posted.

I am Nubie, so I am still in the learning phase. We are moving our current infrastucture over to our new Nutanix box with 3 nodes. I will be shadowing our principal engineer on this. So exciting!

Currently looking at the pros and cons of moving from Citrix Cloud to Nutanix Xi Frame.

At the moment it is looking great for Xi Frame hoping to be rolled out in the next few months!

We're finishing upgrade of all our blocks to 4.6 and connecting them up to Prism Central 4.6.

Once we've finished that we're replacing our virtualised Oracle 12c VMs with new versions built according to the Nutanix best practice guides. The new versions are much quicker and much easier for us to maintain.
