Nutanix is built on a technology foundation designed to deliver hybrid multicloud compute efficiency at all levels.
This is the mantra laid down by James Sturrock, director of systems engineering at Nutanix.
Sturrock explains more of the holistic approach to system (and, ultimately, application and data service execution) efficiency in this guest post for the Computer Weekly Developer Network – and he writes in full as follows….
The rise of GreenOps as an adjunct or sister discipline to FinOps in the wider realm of all operations management is a worthy pursuit. Even DevOps purists don’t always see it as having the same pedigree as traditional Ops mechanisms, its eco-credentials form a valuable part of any deployment stack.
Transcending the 3-tiered model
Our own pedigree (or, let’s say validated track record) in this arena stems from the sustainability credentials achieved through the architectural advantage of Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) over traditional 3-tier systems, by which we obviously mean the traditional triumvirate of compute, storage and networking.
So let’s break down what we have to work with if we move forward here.
Firstly, we can look at consolidation i.e. by collapsing compute, storage and networking into a single platform, organisations significantly reduce their physical datacentre footprint. This is a prime mover efficiency play; computing rarely succeeds when it trades on tradition and hangs onto the past… and we…
