1. OpenStack for the Enterprise
Building OpenStack on a Single 2U Appliance: July 30th, 10 AM PT
OpenStack promises to be the open source cloud operating system. Automated provisioning and management of network, server and storage resource via a single dashboard is great, but how can you get the same one-stop-shop simplicity for the underlying infrastructure? 
Attend this advanced private cloud webinar and learn:
Why OpenStack is much more than just hype
A summary of key OpenStack technologies
Why to consider converged infrastructure for building private clouds
The right way to scale-out OpenStack deployments
OpenStack for the Enterprise

6. Nutanix NDFS
The Nutanix Distributed Filesystem (NDFS)
The Nutanix Distributed File System is a scale-out distributed file system designed for virtualization workloads. NDFS delivers fault tolerance, high performance, scalability and reliability for server and desktop virtual machines.  

7. Number of Nutanix Nodes
NDFS Linear Scale-out Performance
Scale-able OpenStack with NDFS
A converged platform in which compute and storage can be independently scaled via the use of CPU- and storage-heavy nodes in the same cluster.
Virtual Machines
Number of Nutanix Nodes
The Nutanix Distributed File System performance scales linearly as new blocks and nodes are added to the cluster. These new nodes are self-discovered with the Avahi protocol and added to the cluster with zero downtime. Nutanix delivers a simple model for scaling your OpenStack deployment.

8. Nutanix NDFS
Key features of NDFS
Scale-out distributed file system
VM data locality
Flash and HDD autotiering
In-memory cacheing
Compression
Deduplication
Cinder-plugin for snapshots and volume management
Nova + Glance integration for NDFS Fast-clones
Swift integration
Fault tolerance and reliability
Autohealing
NDFS is the most feature-rich distributed filesystem for OpenStack and any private cloud environment.

9. Nutanix and Hypervisors
Nutanix is designed to be hypervisor agnostic. Nutanix enables customer choice with their OpenStack implementation.

12. Nutanix + OpenStack Simplicity Scale-out Fabric
Why OpenStack and Nutanix are a winning combination.
Simplicity
The same great platform that simplified your virtualization deployment can simplify the compute and storage deployment for key OpenStack services (Glance, Nova, Horizon, Keystone, Neutron, Cinder, and Swift)
Scale-out Fabric
Nutanix provides a single fabric for data storage that integrates seamlessly with OpenStack services. NDFS-based storage is easy to provision, manage, and operate at scale.
Award winning NDFS Distributed Filesystem
Nutanix NDFS enables a full set of enterprise storage features including Elastic Deduplication, Compression, In-Memory and Flash-based Caching, VM-Data Locality, intelligent Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), Snapshots, Fast Clones, and Live Migration. No other filesystem provides OpenStack with all of these capabilities.

13. Customers who know how to scale
Forward thinking companies who’ve embraced our distributed systems tech.
For enterprises (unlike facebook, google, msft), the single application they need to run at scale is VMware.
Scale out not scale up – arguable the most powerful applications in the word don’t require some massive servers to run, they have been designed to scale out rather than scale up.
