Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Demanding Enterprise Workloads
Date: January 26, 2016 at 8:00 am PT / 11:00 am ET
Presenters: Jeff Kato, Taneja Group; Sachin Chheda, Nutanix
In 2015, IT organizations large and small found hyperconverged infrastructure built with the right technology foundation to be a capable replacement for traditional servers and standalone storage in the datacenter for demanding enterprise applications such as critical databases.
Join the experts at Taneja Group and Nutanix in this technical webinar covering the infrastructure requirements for today’s demanding enterprise applications and how a virtualized first methodology along with a software-based approach to storage can change the way enterprise applications are hosted and served.
The session will also cover the different architectural options for different hyperconverged infrastructure and walk through real world implementations of IT organizations Nutanix Xtreme Computing Platform for demanding enterprise applications such as Oracle and SAP.

Emerging Technologies in Storage: Disaggregation of Storage Function
Join us for a fast-paced and informative 60-minute roundtable as we discuss one of the newest trends in storage: Disaggregation of traditional storage functions. A major trend within IT is to leverage server and server-side resources to the maximum extent possible. Hyper-scale architectures have led to the commoditization of servers and flash technology is now ubiquitous and is often times most affordable as a server-side component. Underutilized compute resources exist in many datacenters as the growth in CPU power has outpaced other infrastructure elements. One current hot trend — software-defined-storage—advocates collocating all storage functions to the server side but also relies on local, directly attached storage to create a shared pool of storage. That limits the server’s flexibility in terms of form factor and compute scalability.
Now some vendors are exploring a new, optimally balanced approach. New forms of storage are emerging that first smartly modularize storage functions, and then intelligently host components in different layers of the infrastructure. With the help of a lively panel of experts we will unpack this topic and explore how their innovative approach to intelligently distributing storage functions can bring about better customer business outcomes.
