Best Practices for Transforming your Datacenter with Web-Scale Converged Infrastructure
Web-scale computing concepts and technologies that model Google, Facebook, Amazon and other cloud DCs are increasingly being applied to enterprise IT datacenters. IT teams are being expected to adopt this web-scale model of computing to scale the datacenter, drive maximum performance, and support virtualization projects.
This session will equip you to ride the next wave of innovation. You’ll learn best practices for: • Deploying similar technologies that power Google and other leading cloud providers • Building virtual infrastructures that scale compute and storage incrementally, one x86 server at a time • Deploying workloads as you would with a service such AWS, with the security and benefit of a Private Cloud
Company Bio:
Nutanix brings forth an exciting new SAN-less virtualized datacenter platform, converging two tiers of infrastructure down to one. Through the use of innovative server-attached Flash and high capacity SATA drives, Nutanix’ innovative distributed storage and compute cluster localizes the data-path for higher performance and reduced complexity. Inspired by SAN-less distributed systems employed by Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter, Nutanix is first to market with an enterprise-friendly, easy to deploy storage and compute cluster that dynamically grows to meet business demands.

Reports from the Bleeding Edge Front
A 30-minute no-holds-barred rant on stuff that I have seen in my travels and working with ODD customers from around the world.
Tim is on the board of VIRTG, and in his spare time tries to play as much golf as possible. When companies throw enough money his way he helps them with their virtualization problems, especially with handling crappy applications that they need to get out to people. Just back from the MVP Summit in Redmond, Tim will no doubt want to talk about App-V, and RemoteApp and Azure, and why seven ate nine, and about virtual things that go bump in the night.
