We had two sprints in February and released the following:
New Features
- Changed the Nutanix Files Licenses and now reflect the Jan 2019 changes for Files and Files Pro
Sizer is up to date with the latest licensing including putting Files Pro in a standalone cluster and not allowing Files to be in a standalone cluster. You will see the label standalone cluster in the cluster list. All things are enforced regarding capacity, compression, etc
Nutanix File license now has no maximum capacity
- Create scenario proposal
We got feedback from the SE council that SE’s need help in proposals. Often SE’s were taking screenshots of Sizer UI like dials or configuration information. Now a pulldown option to download proposal. A new tab shows all the charts, dials, sizing detail tables. You can download to a powerpoint too. That take the images you want :blush:
- Collector Import – Now we note in the the workload if sizing information came from Collector. This is true for the BOM or in View workload
- VDI Solution
Allows you to sell a VDI solution based on user pricing. Customer pays for so many users independent of the workload demands they have. Separately is the hardware cluster which is sized to meet the workload demands
By selecting Enterprise VDI Solution when creating a VDI workload that workload is put into a standalone cluster and then the only VDI license is charged. Separately the hardware is sized for that workload and potentially other Enterprise VDI Solution workloads
- Buckets Licensing – Licensing is now implemented to include rules for Nutanix Buckets and Nutanix Buckets Pro
- Nutanix File Pro Encryption and Nutanix Buckets Pro Encryption has been added as option in those workloads
- Intel models available to NX partners. Initially for just Nutanix employees, but not Nutanix partners too.
