The NDSF (Nutanix Distributed Storage Fabric) stores user data (VM disk/files) across different storage tiers (SSDs, HDDs & CloudS) on different nodes. NDFS also can support almost any workload from VDI to mixed server workloads, like file, block, business...
It challenges so many pre-conceived notions for networking, storage, HA, virtualization that it makes it like you're learning it all new. A good new but it can be hard breaking out of old habits
- High speed of the data - No need for external data stores - HA works very well on it. - Easy to setup - We don't have to do much to it, it runs itself. - easy to look after
Expensive, configuration time, still uses old flash based client which can be slow
