 All right, so come on in we're gonna talk a little bit about Nutanix and OpenStack So if you guys want to sit down, we'll be doing it about three minutes now Okay, so good morning everybody I'm really excited to be here today So I actually had a chance to attend the first OpenStack conference back in Texas and That was a couple years back and I'm very impressed at exactly You know how many people are here today as well as the interests in OpenStack Now I came out to Hong Kong for one very particular reason and that's to talk to you guys more about Nutanix Which is our company as well as the solution that we have for OpenStack a little background about myself before we get started So my name is Lucas. I'm the director of solutions engineering here at Nutanix Previous to that it was actually a data center architect So I designed and built out tier 3 and tier 4 data centers for financial services clients as well as federal government Now a little background about Nutanix as well. We were incorporated back in 2009 We launched our first product in 2011 Now with with our ambitious ideas, we were able to attract top-tier venture capitalist money from light-speed venture partners Battery ventures as well as Vinod Kosla's firm, which is Kosla ventures and Goldman Sachs Our team comes from mostly Google Facebook VMware and other top-tier technology companies the folks from Google were actually the initial designers of Google GFS and Our folks folks from Facebook Built and designed Cassandra, which is the distributed data store that's used for Facebook messaging In terms of sales we're a hundred percent channel driven So every Nutanix block that is purchased is actually purchased through a Nutanix partner a Nutanix channel partner We also have the accolade of being the fastest growing company fastest growing infrastructure company of the past decade So in the last two years, we've been able to achieve an 80 million dollar annual revenue run rate Now what has led to our success in the market and What exactly do we sell? We actually sell what we call a 2u hyper-converged appliance or a virtual computing platform Now each one of those 2u blocks has four independent servers for independent nodes and Every node in the Nutanix system has storage both flash and HDD storage It has compute we use the latest Intel chipsets for compute and it also has networking So every node has dual tanking ethernet now Although hardware is important. It's really not what makes Nutanix. It's not our special sauce What we provide is a distributed file system that was built from the ground up for virtualization So we have a file system on every single Nutanix node. We have what's called a virtualized storage controller So we have a VM that runs and that VM runs many services which make up the Nutanix distributed file system One of the main functions of this file system is to take all of the local storage both flash and HDD storage and Expose it as one massive storage pool that can be utilized by many VMs in the system In addition another major feature of NDFS is it's actually a scale-out file system So as you need more compute and storage capacity you simply add more Nutanix blocks You can start with a 2u appliance which is four nodes and then add one node at a time as you need more compute and storage Now a lot of you might be asking, you know, there are plenty of distributed file systems out there You know several open-source distributed file systems You know, what makes Nutanix NDFS special and you know, what why would I choose Nutanix NDFS? And I would contend that there is no other distributed file system on the market That has as that is as feature-rich as NDFS. So we have the most comprehensive feature set for OpenStack So not only do you get a scale-out distributed file system, but you also have the concept of VM data locality So as VMs are running on the system, their data is kept locally So when you're reading and writing data to a VM, you're not making a hop over the network So we reduce network IO and also reduce response times and increase performance for applications running on NDFS In addition, we have flash and HDD auto-tearing So your your most important data The data that's being read by the most VMs is actually kept in the flash tier of our system We also have in-memory compression deduplication As well as specific features to integrate with OpenStack Now what I'm talking about we actually build a cinder plugin for OpenStack to use native Nutanix snapshots as well as Nutanix volume management In addition, we also integrate with Nova and Glance So our Nova and Glance integration is something that's unique to any OpenStack distributed file system In a traditional OpenStack deployment when you instantiate an image from Glance All of the bits of the image have to be downloaded to the Nova compute node and Depending on the size of your image that can take a lot of time So say you have a 20 gig image it could take four or five minutes just to start up the instance on the Nova compute node With Nutanix NDFS and our integration with Glance and Nova We actually can start Glance backed images instantaneously With NDFS we create a writable snapshot that is attached directly to the Nova compute node So you don't need to wait for all of the bits of the image to be downloaded to Nova From that point forward using the features of NDFS. We still maintain Data that's being written and read to the node locally. So as data is needed locally It's brought locally to the Nova compute node not all at once In addition we have integration with Swift Several features which support fault tolerance and reliability as well as auto healing So to summarize NDFS is the most feature rich distributed file system for OpenStack and any private cloud environment Now the interesting thing about NDFS is it was also designed to be hypervisor agnostic So in addition to supporting VMware, which a lot of our customers run today We also support KVM as well as Microsoft Hyper-V You can get all of these features in this file system as Pre-imaged as a 2u appliance. So we pre-image the hypervisor We pre-image Nutanix NDFS and then we also pre-image OpenStack on one of these appliances So you have everything that you need for OpenStack to get going in less than 15 minutes Now just to showcase a couple of these solutions. I actually have a couple minute video that I'd like to show All right there. We got some music. It's good now You can see this is our UI here Okay, so to conclude here With Nutanix and OpenStack you get a simple 2u appliance to start your OpenStack deployment So we have a pre-image appliance for you that has the hypervisor. It has the OpenStack distribution We use RDO distribution as well as all the Nutanix features and Nutanix integration You also have a scale-out fabric So with our distributed file system as you want more capacity to run more Nova nodes or for Swift storage You can simply buy more Nutanix blocks They're automatically discovered using the evahee protocol and then we can add them to the Nutanix cluster So you're able to continually scale out your OpenStack deployment with a single fabric You don't have to scale each service and each storage and have separate hardware for every service Last of all you get the award-winning Nutanix distributed file system Which has the most features and the best integration with OpenStack in memory caching data locality Compression snapshots as well as integration with Cinder, Glantz and Nova The last slide I have is actually Some of the customers that we have at Nutanix So here's here's a series of customers You see some big names up there that are using Nutanix in production today And they they trust us with their data and we're continuing to build that customer base So that's about all I have for this presentation I got one minute left So if you have any questions feel free to ask me You have a question go ahead Sure. So for Swift the Swift integration is pretty simple We create what's called an RF1 Nutanix container and then we pass that off to Swift So you get the bit you don't we don't replicate data We let Swift replicate the data But you do get you know auto-tearing you get in memory caching you get keep compression deduplication and all the other features of NDFS because it's still running underneath Swift. Does that make sense? Okay, great question Any other questions from the audience about Nutanix in general or our open-stack integration. All right Well with that, I appreciate the time, you know, thanks for taking the time to listen to us today I'm very excited for this convention and telling our story So if you'd like to come by and learn more, please visit our booth We're over there in the middle of the exchange and Have a great great rest of the day and a great open-stack convention. Thank you very much
