Nutanix 5.0 Asterisk was released in the commercial version about 2 weeks ago. Then, about a week ago, it became available in the CE version. I have already upgraded my home lab to run CE 5.0, and wanted to take a few minutes to talk about some of the key […]
I’ve finally released my Nutanix Android App on the Google Play app market. You’ll find it here. You may have read about this project on the Nutanix blog here: https://next.nutanix.com/t5/Nutanix-Connect-Blog/Using-the-REST-API-to-Power-an-Android-App/ba-p/14072. The app gives you the ability to perform many of the management features that you can do via Prism from […]
I recently had a need to create a new container in an existing Nutanix storage pool from a web interface. I did it using PHP. I figured since I wrote the code, which is very similar to the cloning script I posted here, I may as well post this as […]

I’m on the plane on my way home from the Nutanix .NEXT conference in Las Vegas. This years conference certainly lived up to the high standard set last year in Miami, and should be top of your list for future years. Last year the big news was that Nutanix was […]
