One of the awesome things about community, is the sharing and learning that can happen. It's always encouraging to see others want to help solve problems they are not directly involved in, offer new idea's to old problems and look for new ways of doing things.
It also helps me connect people who may have similar interests, and can benefit from sharing their experiences.
I thought this would be a great place to share what you are working on, get introduced to the community and let us know how we can help. Add your comments below, and let's begin the conversation.
We have an EPIC community, let's connect and help each other power the next generation of enterprise computing.

Good day .NEXT community,
I work for the Library at the University of Waterloo. We've been using Nutanix to handle our public facing VDI environment for a little over a year now and we just replaced our server virtualization infrastructure with Nutanix as well. Both of these environments are running VMware hypervisors.
Our next steps are two fold:
1. We plan to expand our Nutanix VDI environment to include staff workstations
2. We'll be moving the servers we just replaced with Nutanix to a partner datacentre and we'll load the Nutanix Community Edition onto them so we can play around with the Acropolis Hypervisor. Perhaps we'll even get to test How To Replicate Virtual Machines Between Different Hypervisors.
You can also check out the uWaterloo - Nutanix case study for our VDI environment

Upgrade of our VDI environment, we were early adopters of the Nutanix platform, with our move from physical workstations to VDI. Started out with a block of 2000 series nodes. As the EOL is nearing we are upgrading to a block of 3000 series nodes. Recently moved our Vsphere environment from an EMC SAN to a 6000 series cluster. Our production environment is now 100% Nutanix.
Just implemented Nutanix and running Citirx VDI on it. Running great.

I am retrofitting a process of replicating data from production RAC environments to Dev/Test using snapshots -> clones which end up being owners of the disks that are shared to an environments RAC nodes.
Crazy cool idea that my boss came up with. Currently it leverages ACL and requires cut-n-paste 2 times but I can update the data volumes in less than 5 mins. I want to leverage volume groups and volume group APIs in 4.6 to fully automate the process.
I'm drinking the Kool aid.

I'm in the middle of a project for the Department of Treasury to migrate their existing Citrix XenDesktop environment from a legacy, outdated, and under-sized traditional VMWare 5.1 infrastructure to a new Nutanix backed, VMWare 6 cluster. The performance increase already has been very impressive!
Once I'm done with that, it's on to standing up an Enterprise Microsoft SQL server offering on Nutanix, as well. Fun times!

Hi all my name is Lindrowsqy and I am looking forward to collaborating with the members of this platform as I embark on testing your community platform..
Working on updates all clusters.
Hi.
i'm working on IT design like Data center or Data Analytic system.
nice to try Nutanix.

I'm upgrading our 2 sites to Acropolis Base Software 4.6
Working on getting to know my new Nutanix envoriment, worked with it before so cool to see how others work with it and what choices are made. Working with a lot of Datastore containers is something I am not used to and is used here a lot.
I’m researching new hardware for our four node Nutanix HCA.

Im working on learn more from solution, i have got the NPP certificación, but would love to have another course, also we are implementing hyperconverged technology
currently working on deploying SQL database on nutanix. Also working on the debugging part.
Working on deploying a DR cluster to test Nutanix DR. Looking forward to simplifying DR!

Got a small installation, consisting of two sites, 1 4-node block and 1 2-node ("disk") block on each site.
In the process of setting up a CE Lab (on older servers HP DL380 G5/G6 and IBM X3550) and testing AHV. If anyone's got any tips on these setups it'd be greatly appreciated.. 🙂

Deciding what Nutanix hardware to purchase to replace current Nutanix (which will be used as DR).
