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.

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of a project for the Department of Treasury to migrate their existing Citrix XenDesktop environment from a legacy, outdated, and under-sized traditional VMWare 5.1 infrastructure to a new Nutanix backed, VMWare 6 cluster.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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
We are working on a couple of large projects at the moment:
Nutanix CE Lab - Testing Amazon CloudConnect
AWS Disaster Recovery using CloudConnect and async replication with 1G AWS DirectConnect.
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

I'm working on migrating more workloads off our older infrastructure onto our Nutanix Cluster.
Having our critical workloads on Nutanix already has increased performance immensely so time to improve more processes.

We have 4 blocks and are in the process of designing a metro cluster across our 2 DC's to provide a more effective DR capability.

I am working on becoming a Nutanix Platform Professional. We have a small Nutanix environment with 3 nodes that runs our whole infrastructure. I had many problems, limitations and frustrations before and Nutanix fixed them all with one solution. I love Nutanix and I hope one day to grow into or work in a larger environment so I can use many more of the amazing features offered by Nutanix. I have also been waiting for the new features to be released so I can move away from VMware. As soon as my licenses are up for renewal, I will be getting the Nutanix Pro license so I can convert my VMs from VMware to Acropolis.

I'm currently working of a Metro HA configuration for ~850 VDI, with goal to extend to virtual servers has well (another 800 or so VMs).Currently waiting for the POC hardware (8 nodes, with 2x1.2 Tb SSD and 4x2Tb HDD each...).Sylvain.

Currently we are working to upgrade our current VDI Nutanix Cluster to ESXi 6 so that we can move all VDI to Windows 10 over the summer break for the Distirct. We have also started to look at replacing our Core Server/San Stack with Nutanix and what the conversion would look like to Hyperconvergance. Cheers!

Currently our focus is in deploying, testing and qualifying NOS 4.6, especially from a security standpoint - reviewing the high_security.sh script (if still exists) as well as the way STIG findings are now remediated etc - we will engage our SE and maybe Nutanix nSERT team as well. Part of a larger initiative to review and update our processes and service documentation related to Nutanix deployments.
