Notes:

1. Design scenario is sized for 32 node clusters. These can be increased by customer to 48 or 64 node clusters based
on what Hypervisor allows.
2. In Citrix XenDesktop and VMware View deployments ONE node in a cluster is required for dedicated management
VMs for example vCenter and SQL Server for VMware View deployment, and XD Admin and Connection Broker for
XenDesktop deployment.
3. Any model with 80.0TB to 120.0TB per node storage capacity requires at least AOS-5.11 version.
4. Third party licenses are not included as part of the solution/proposal

Nutanix Technology

Unlike traditional arrays, Nutanix allows for perfect linear scalability. The much lower initial investment enables a quick
payback period.The overall spend is also reduced since Moore’s Law ensures declining costs relative to VM density.

Since Nutanix is managed out of the box by the virtualization administrator, no additional storage administration is
required. The 2U Nutanix footprint also minimizes power, cooling and rack space footprint. Nutanix’s VM-level
replication enables optimized Disaster Recovery (as opposed to replicating entire LUNs for traditional arrays).

Nutanix’s distributed file system combines local tiered storage with synchronous data replication throughout multiple
nodes within a cluster, thereby allowing virtual machines to access data locally and survive node failures, distributing
both compute and storage workloads among the remaining nodes in the cluster.

It is often hard to put a cost on downtime. But storage arrays, despite having dual storage controllers, all too often do
go down as a result of firmware upgrades, multiple drive failures, LUN attachment failures, human error, etc. Google built
its infrastructure knowing that the commodity hardware would fail, and compensated by utilizing a distributed file system
with data replicated on multiple servers. Rather than utilize ancient (1987) RAID technology, Nutanix incorporates the
same type of distributed file system and data replication capabilities of GFS. The result is a similarly incredibly resilient
architecture where the phrase, “The SAN is down” no longer is ever stated.

Convergence implies the elimination of redundant hardware. Conventional converged infrastructure solutions that
incorporate both servers and storage arrays do not consolidate any hardware whatsoever. They merely juxtapose the
servers and arrays in the same racks or chasses and stick them at the end of a network we’re they’re subject to
performance degradation from multiple hops and from network latency. Nutanix eliminates all of proprietary and
disparate storage components and instead.
