Attending Lenovo+Nutanix Event at WORQ Glo Damansara

After attending the ARCHICAD seminar, I had another event to attend which was a follow from my last meet up with IBM. It was a privilege to be invited to come to this event to learn about Nutanix solution and Lenovo hardware although we are just a small fry compared to the other attendees.

Anyway, I first encountered Nutanix during a visit to one of our client data centre. I managed to snap the physical hardware during one of my visits. I was astonished by the 42U rack only having a small number of hardware with almost 70% of the slots are empty.

Only after receiving the technical sheet specification of the server they are purchasing from one of our clients, I realised that they are now adopting hyper-converged infrastructure on the campus. It certainly is a fascinating concept where the hardware cost can be optimized to strike a balance between cost and performance.

Glo Damansara is a new building located at TTDI Damansara.

Nutanix is certainly is an interesting hyper-converged solution. I also like Lenovo's concept of leasing servers at the client's office and only charge the local on-site user by the electricity consumption of the server. This is really out of the box concept to me and I hope my client would really like it as I do.
