Hyper-convergence is only the first step to cloud Rapid Time to Market I deployed my application in five minutes. Fractional IT Consumption I use and pay for just what I need only when I need it. One-click Simplicity I don t spend time on low-level infrastructure management. Continuous Innovation My infrastructure gets better on a regular basis.
Why NOT public cloud for everything? Elastic workloads Spin up and down resources on the public cloud 25% 75% Predictable workloads Lower costs with private cloud infrastructure Balance Owning and Renting for Today s Enterprise Workloads
Customers want best of both worlds... Flexibility & Control Fractional Consumption Instant Delivery Invisible Operations Continuous Innovation Frictionless Control Balance Owning and Renting Data Access and Governance Tailored SLAs for Every App Choice and Freedom from Lock-in

Unprecedented Reduction in Infrastructure Size Fast Deployments, Unsurpassed Simplicity, Low Cost Legacy Up to Less Power and Space
Before Lowered IT Infrastructure costs by 50-60% Group Life and Heath Insurance Investment and Retirement Products Achieved fast initial installation in less than half a day for 13 nodes and 100TB of storage Reduced datacenter footprint from 192U to 12U, for a 16:1 reduction across all four use cases For DR - shortened RTO from 48 hours to just minutes, at 1/3 the cost Simplified management and troubleshooting This is now happening in Dell XC environments!! After
Undeniable TCO/ROI value proposition Space real estate costs Power Electricity savings Scaling to any size without forklift Weight shipping & floor constraints Performance Transactions per sec Costs Overall costs Cooling Capacity & costs Reduced Complexity Simplicity in every step Pay as you Grow No need to speculate on 4yr requirements
TCO - Nutanix vs. Public Cloud Public cloud is better for elastic workloads vs predictable workloads) 100 VMs (test/dev) on AWS and was looking to expand to 1,750 VMs over a period of three years. The analysis utilizes the actual costs being paid for AWS and compares them to costs for Nutanix on a 3-year leased basis
