We Fully know virtualized virtualizajon yet?? is great, so what s holding you back? COMPLEXITY Enterprises are struggling to meet service levels with a rigid storage architecture, for example, that can t keep up with a highly consolidated and automated virtual server environment. Forrester Research 2011 COST Storage accounts for 40% to 60% of the total cost of SHVD cost per desktop. Gartner Storage Design Alterna1ves for Virtual Desktop Deployments, January 2013 PERFORMANCE Maintaining high performance while scaling is a top 3 storage challenge. Forrester Research Survey on Storage for Virtual Servers, Q1 2011 4
Nutanix Complete Cluster Nutanix Distributed File System (NDFS) + Converged Hardware Nutanix Distributed File System is a scalable distributed file system designed for virtualizajon workloads. Built for enterprise datacenters to enable a turnkey private cloud building block, NDFS delivers fault tolerance, high performance, scalability and reliability for server and desktop virtual machines.
Convergence Secular drivers for SDDC: Enterprise & Public Cloud AWS and VMware are driving convergence of all services: Compute and memory Networking (SDN) Load balancers Firewalls, VPNs and the last fronjer Storage

Na1ve Disaster Recovery VM- centric replica1on VM-Centric workflows Granular VM-based snapshots and policies Better than LUN or file system based Flexible n-way protection Simultaneous bi-directional replication between sites N-way master-master model Data protection VM and application level crash consistency Flexible protection domains for VM grouping and policies
Nutanix Capacity Op1miza1on Inline and Post- processed compression Data compressed as its written (synchronously) Ideal for archival data High performance for sequential workloads Data compressed after cold data is migrated to lower-performance storage tiers Processed only when data and compute resources are available No impact to normal IO path Ideal for random batch workloads VM Centric Purpose-built for virtualization Increased usable capacity across all storage tiers Compression policies align with VM-centric workflows Maximum compression/decompression performance with Snappy algorithm Sub-block compression for granularity and maximum efficiency
