Hi gang
We are actively building out Sizer Basic and Sizer Advanced. Sizer Basic for customers, reps, other non-technical folks who want a sizing and just go with the default profiles. Sizer Advanced will offer the SE much more advanced functionality for multiple workloads, multiple clusters, etc
As we build those out we want to get some of the functionality out in Sizer when available. Today we introduced Workload Filters. We see a workload where with Collector you may have a hundred workloads and finding what you want will be hard. Enter the filter where you can filter by workload name, workload type, number of VMs. cores, RAM, SSD (either less than or greater than a value ), status (enabled/disabled).
Examples
- Show me just workloads of certain type (e.g. VDI)
- Show me workloads that have min or max of so many cores (could be RAM, HDD,SSD)
- show me just enabled workloads
- show me ones with certain name string or partial string
- Combine all the above
This will ultimately be accompanied with BULK EDITs. So find me all the VDI workloads with certain name string and change profile to Power User for example. Here is screen shot (edited)

We did come out with new Sprint last night
Backup is now a regular primary workload like VDI, Server Virt, etc (see below). It had been a target for existing workloads but now Backup can be a primary workload where you figure out the backup requirements if the customer is just wanting back up some data from some other systems beside Nutanix
12TB HDD/min12 cores
Partial population rule for Nutanix with 1.92TB SSD
NX: 128GB with mCPU, LCPU
various updates for Dell XC

Great to see so many of you at GTS America
We did go live with the new sprint.
Now have full BOM for HP DX. Why that is important is as you go to the HP store to place a quote you will have full information you need including the power supply for example. At GTS, people asked about us making a call to the HP store. Unfortunately they don’t have a API we can call. We will work on making it easier though with a link from Sizer We did do The cascade refresh CPUs but not live in Sizer yet. I would expect those in next 2 days
