Thursday, June 6, 2013; 10 am PT
Join this webinar in which the industry leaders Nutanix and Arista discuss the various benefits of software-defined networks and take a deep dive into how SDNs are able to de-couple and abstract control from the data plane with technologies like OpenFlow and how these play into the larger picture of Network Function Virtualization (NFV).
Attend this webinar and learn:
- What are SDNs and their role in network function virtualization (NFV)
- What defines a true SDN solution
- How SDNs and virtualized networks impact applications and business
- The key trends, technologies and players in the SDN space
- Technical concepts and application of SDN
- How to position and leverage SDNs

Webinar: Why Computing Environments Need Even More Abstraction
Abstract:
Hypervisors have revolutionized enterprise computing. Abstracting the operating system from underlying hardware resources via the creation of virtual machines (VMs) has yielded enormous benefits.
But why stop at the operating system? Emerging technologies are now taking virtualization even further – abstracting the individual applications from the operating system itself. Imagine the possibilities of a ‘micro hypervisor’ for operating systems.
Watch this webinar and learn from industry leaders Nutanix and Bromium about the next wave of virtualization and application abstraction.
In this webinar you will learn:
- Why there is motivation to abstract application-specific workloads from the operating system
- New use cases supported by introducing another layer of abstraction
- Where hardware technologies are evolving to enable this trend- How developments in virtualization will alter the relationship between the hardware, hypervisor and application environment

Converged infrastructure and desktop layering simplify VDI for New Zealand government council
Held on Thursday, March 14, 2013
Abstract:VDI hasn’t taken off like everyone predicted. Why? Cost and complexity.
Then how has the IT team at South Taranaki District Council (STDC) been able to reduce costs, save time, and increase service with VDI?
STDC’s Pete Sayers and Stephen Mileham discuss how game-changing technologies from Nutanix and Unidesk have enabled them to build a fast, flexible, and easy-to-manage VMware View environment. You’ll learn:
- How VDI was implemented in days without separate SAN, server, and networking infrastructure
- How desktop build times are reduced from 4-6 hours to 15 minutes, even with every desktop needing different apps
- How break/fix time is now only 10 minutes per desktop
- Why IOPS is no longer an issue
- Why Nutanix + Unidesk is “the best thing since sliced bread” -

Building Next-Gen Datacenters with Converged Infrastructure
Presenter: Greg Smith, Senior Director of Product and Technical Marketing
Datacenter architectures are undergoing a major transformation, as virtualization and a new generation of converged infrastructure deliver unprecedented flexibility, scalability, and efficiency. Companies of all sizes, including SMBs, can now tap the same technologies powering world-class IT leaders, such as Google, Facebook and Amazon, to scale their infrastructure seamlessly and predictably.
This next-generation of converged solution collapses storage and compute resources into a single tier, completely eliminating the cost and complexity of SANs. It’s now possible to run entire datacenters using off-the-shelf hardware to power company growth and ‘right size’ infrastructure investment.
This webinar from Nutanix will examine the most recent developments in virtualization and storage, and detail how these new technologies can be deployed to build next-generation datacenters at any scale.
Watch this webinar and learn:
- How the same converged architectures powering Google can be leveraged in your datacenter
- The best way to deploy a converged infrastructure to run any virtual workload
- The right way to eliminate your SAN and improve storage performance and functionality

Slash VDI Costs Without Slashing Functionality
High Costs. Impossible Complexity. Limited Desktop Experience. Of course, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) has a bad rap. Even with the clear mobility, security, and agility advantages, why would anyone consider VDI given such tough challenges?
Here’s why: VDI technology has finally caught up to its potential!
Now, VDI can be simple. VDI can be cost-effective. And, VDI can satisfy both your IT staff and your end-users.
