Coming out of .NEXT 2017, we saw 3 major strategic announcements from Nutanix, as well as a number of smaller updates. Some of these had been previously announced, and some were all new. In this article, I’d like to give a quick overview on some of those smaller announcements or […]

I’ve been meaning to setup a box running Nutanix CE for a while. I’m not going to use it for my “production” services at home, because I don’t need 3 nodes, and 1 node doesn’t provide me with any fault tolerance. That said, I thought I might be able to […]
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 […]
