7 Hyper-Convergence and the Network Scale-out VCS Fabric Scale-out Brings compute to the storage Network becomes the backplane (East/West Traffic becomes dominant) Nutanix Blocks Needs simplicity via automation, replication speed, low latency and burst tolerance 7 7

8 Why Hyperconverged? Speed, Agility & Simplicity

9 Nutanix and the Network 10GbE Extreme VDX Network Interconnect The network becomes the Nutanix backplane: a flat fabric which should: Form and Heal Automatically Scale-Out Non-Disruptively Provide VM Discovery & Mobility Deliver High Replication Performance Offer Metro Services Offer Visibility and Extensibility

10 Access Aggregation Core Leaf / Spine Core Ethernet Fabrics vs. Legacy Networks CLASSIC HIERARCHICAL ARCHITECTURE ETHERNET FABRIC ARCHITECTURE Ethernet Fabric Scale-out Rigid architecture, north-south optimized Inefficient link utilization Individually managed switches VM-ignorant No network virtualization Topology freedom, east-west optimized All links active, L1/2/3 multipathing Fabric managed as one logical switch VM-aware Native and overlay network virtualization 10

11 Agile, High Performing Infrastructure Nutanix and Extreme Better Together Fully distributed scale-out system Software-based distributed control plane (CVM) Self-Healing Non-disruptive capacity addition (automatic brick and node expansion) Nutanix Metro Availability API-driven automation (Prism, REST) Fully distributed scale-out system Software-based distributed control plane (VCS) Self-Healing Non-disruptive capacity addition (automatic, zero config switch addition) Metro VCS - the network fabric extend up to 30km API-driven automation (vcenter, NSX, vrealize, Python, Puppet, BNA, REST)

18 Case study Ficolo Ltd Founded in 2011, first company in Finland focused on Colocation data center services In 2017 Ficolo evolves into the first Cloud Delivery service provider in Finland Sole owner of one of the largest data center facility in Finland, data center built in to an old underground military facility Serves more than 80 customers from 6 different countries Hundreds of end-customers Millions of users

19 Ficolo datacenter 8500 sq.m (91,500 sq.ft) tunnel halls inside Finnish bedrock Built for Finnish Military in 1960s 9 separate tunnel halls (size in 500 sq.m. (5,300sq.ft) and 800 sq.m (8,600 sq.ft) 100% owned by Ficolo 19

20 Why they love VCS Fabric It is simple and fast! Supports multitenancy Built-in support for IP storage Efficient load balancing Ficolo uses multiple fabrics: Dedicated customer fabrics Datacenter Backbone fabric Internet Edge fabric Ficolo case study 20
