Sizer Sprint Release Announcement (17th Dec 2024)
Hello everyone,
We are pleased to announce the completion of our last sprint release for Calendar Year 2024. We’re excited to share the key highlights from December releases (3rd Dec & 17th Dec):
Key Features & Enhancements
1. Auto-generated Leads
- Sizer intelligently identifies and displays leads at the account level
- The leads are across two categories – Tech Refresh and Expansion Leads
- A card with the top 3 tech refresh & expansion leads is made visible on the create & edit scenario page on entering the account/opportunity details. See attached image – “Auto-generated Leads”
- Tech Refresh leads automatically gather workload information from existing clusters, size the scenario & display the potential ACV that can be made.
- Expansion leads display the potential ACV and are currently limited to the potential opportunities to sell U-Nodes for multi-node NX G8 blocks.
- Resource utilization-based expansion leads across NX & OEMs are in the works.
2. Support for NKP Full Stack (NKP FS) License
- The license, Support & Services section is enhanced to allow the selection of NKP Full Stack Licenses
- The Budgetary quote, Frontline quote, BOM & Proposal are updated with the NKP FS licenses
- Refer to the attached image – “NKP FS License”
3. Ability to size by consumed Memory or Storage & specify the headroom
- Workload import enhanced to support sizing based on consumed memory values
- When sizing by consumed memory or storage, users can now specify the headroom for growth & unexpected spikes
- The default headroom is 20% and users can increase or decrease the percentage
- Decreasing the percentage will warn the users as it can result in undersizing
- See attached image – “Headroom when sizing by consumed values”
Bug Fixes and Improvements
- Support for RF3 with CFT of 1N/2D is extended to Files workload in addition to Objects workload
- Sizer Proposal Slides are updated with FY25 Q1 Financial Results & NKP Offerings
- Bulk-edit functionality is extended to MST-protected workloads
- Per-VM licensing excludes PC VMs from User VM license entitlement (E.g. ROBO License)
- Consistency across Storage Capacity Calculator, Extent Store Capacity & Sizer BOM.
- Sizer flags VMs skipped on importing workloads and provides a link to the file with additional details.
- PC not added by Sizer for Objects workload when the user specifies “Customer already has a PC”
Recently launched New Models
- NX-1150S-G9 – A brand new NX platform for the mid-segment of ROBO/Edge Market
