Last year I did an interview with Eric Sloof @esloof of VMworld TV (below) where we discussed the basics (or the 101) of Nutanix and this was the theme of questions from attendees throughout the Solutions Exchange.

Jump forward to this years VMworld (2014) and I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to interview with  VMworld TV again. Eric and I agreed that we didn’t want a simple repeat of last years interview, but talk about more benefits of the platform (or the 201 level).

The interesting part of VMworld 2014 and my time on the booth, the theme of questions from attendees was significantly different from last year, and in large part was focused on Business Critical Applications and Server workloads from both prospective and existing customers.

One of my focusses over the last year has been Business Critical Applications and improving the Nutanix platform for these workloads. I am proud to say we (Nutanix) has made significant improvements in this area and we have a strong offering especially with the new NX-8150 platform which my team were responsible for designing.

I am looking forward to interviewing at next years VMworld and covering the Advanced/Expert level topics (301 level) with Eric and the fantastic VMworld TV crew.

VMworld 2013 – Lets talk VMware & Nutanix @ booth #1521

I am excited to be attending VMworld this year for the first time as a Nutanix employee and I am also pleased to be part of the amazing team who will be working the stunning Nutanix booth (#1521).

I encourage you all to come visit the Nutanix booth (and not just because its truly a masterpiece) but because I believe we have a great platform for virtualizing with VMware which is both simple and effective for the vast majority of workloads.

I will be on the booth ready, willing and able to discuss your current challenges, and help work out a solution. If Nutanix is not the right solution for you, or is only part of the solution, I will call it out and assist you where ever possible and get you moving in the right direction.

So basically that is free consulting from a VCDX, of which Nutanix has 3!

I am happy to say we have an awesome whiteboard at the booth, and I love white boarding so I am happy to discuss and whiteboard anything from business level right down to detailed architectural/technical considerations.

I especially look forward to meeting some of my Twitter followers who I have conversed with for a long time and have still yet to meet in person, so please swing by and say Hi, or to give me your best “G’day Mate” which seems to be a popular theme this last week.

Bring on VMworld 2013!
