Building Resilience with Nutanix MST: Smarter Disaster Recovery for the Modern Enterprise

Disaster recovery is no longer just about backups. It is about resiliency, recovery speed, cyber readiness, and operational flexibility. In this episode of Nutanix Weekly, Phil Sellers is joined by Andy Greene and Chris Calhoun from XenTegra to break down Nutanix Multi-Cloud Snapshot Technology (MST) and how organizations are using it to modernize disaster recovery without overspending on infrastructure. The conversation explores how MST enables organizations to replicate snapshots to S3-compatible storage providers like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud, Wasabi, Backblaze, and Nutanix Objects to improve resiliency, optimize storage costs, and simplify long-term retention.

Nutanix Weekly: The Critical Role of Hybrid Multicloud

The pivot to a hybrid multicloud environment must form part of a CIO’s infrastructure strategy to take full advantage of next-generation solutions. The key for CIO’s and other C-level executives is to plan for and enable this critical eventuality in their enterprise. The compelling business case for adopting the shift to hybrid multicloud is highlighted in the sixth annual Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) report. The findings of the ECI report reveal a notable increase in the planned deployment of hybrid multicloud infrastructure, which spans private IT infrastructure (on-premises and hosted), public clouds and edge locations.

Nutanix Weekly: Honey I Shrunk My Cluster (Multiple Nodes Down in RF2)

Within Nutanix we have Replication Factor (How many data copies are written in the cluster) and Redundancy Factor (how many nodes/disks can go offline). Both can have a value of 2 and 3. What is what is explained here: Blog Post. So, when we have a larger cluster, we always recommend using RF3 (Redundancy Factor 3) as the risk is higher that you have multiple nodes/disks go offline at the same time. During trainings and onsite customer work I often get the question, "what will happen if multiple nodes go offline in Redundancy Factor 2?" In this blog post I will explain different scenarios and their behaviors.

As far as analysts and customers were concerned, hypervisors within the datacenter were a very mature segment that had been on cruise control for the past decade.
