Sizing the New Environment:
With the information above in hand you can accurately size your
new environment. Nutanix Sizer makes this task straightforward
but guidelines to keep in mind include:
• Always factor in high availability for key servers and desktops.
• Additional infrastructure and/or additional clusters may
be required based on these considerations:
– Business: SLAs, licensing, security, budget, politics
– Planning the transition: Follow Nutanix and industry best
practices and guidelines for P2V migrations and place close
attention to the golden image creation that will be used to create
other desktops. If you are migrating an existing deployment, we
recommend using Nutanix partner or native tools when possible.
Naturally, Nutanix Global Services can help you with any or all of
these steps to put you on a path to greater infrastructure success.
Through our Global Services organization, Nutanix offers the
industry's only solution to eliminate the risk of incorrect infra-
structure sizing for desktop virtualization projects.
Under the VDI Assurance program, Nutanix ensures that your
virtual desktops always get the compute (virtual CPU and memory)
and storage (performance and capacity) resources they need to
meet end user VDI expectations. Simply determine the type and
number of VDI users in their environment and transfer the risk of
sizing infrastructure requirements to Nutanix with VDI Assurance.
