Nutanix : NTC - Nutanix Technology Champion


Becoming a Nutanix Technology Champion !

Nutanix has created in 2014 the NTC (Nutanix Technology Champion) Program. This is a group of selected people from both Nutanix Partners and Customers who are specialized in some specific area of the Nutanix galaxy. Put together in a Slack channel, it is forming an amazing set of knowledge. 

These NTCs are part of briefings and early bird announcements regarding the future of Nutanix, some specific products and partnership with other industry leaders. Each year, at the .NEXT Conference, they have a specific role to play and the involvement came start at writing blog post, be an active forum member or even be a speaker during .NEXT (either way on the main stage or on breakout session). This community is really bringing values to the product : as I'm used to say, this is a win-win situation for both Nutanix and the customers since the NTC program allows direct access to internal Nutanix human resource. Even Dheeraj Pandey (Nutanix CEO) is reading the slack channel and sometimes answering directly to NTCs.

Being part of this program since 2015 is a great value for me as a Nutanix Customer. It helps to maintain a certain level of leadership, great fit for personal branding and the most value I can get from it is the people ! The industries represented in the program are all very different and learning from each other is definitely enriching !

I encourage any Nutanix enthusiast to be part of this program. This is a yearly application and you are not guarantee to be selected, but it really worth the investment. I forgot to mention Angelo Luciani, our Canadian Community Manager who is doing an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G job ! ;)

ShredOS : HDD degaussing with style

Image
Background Have you ever had the need to properly erase HDD or SSD before disposing them ? Or selling them ? You do not want to have someone else playing around with your data right ? What we usually do is using a bootable Linux Live CD and use dd style command to write random data on the disk right ? But what if you have 10 disks in your machine ? What if you need a report to proof the world that wiping is a success ? I came across this challenge recently.

Nutanix : CVM stuck into Phoenix

Image
Background Last night, I was in my monthly upgrades process for my clusters. I was about to catch up with all the versions. I was about to start the last run of patches, so I ran the LCM inventory for the last time. Of course I was doing something else in parallel - LCM is so time consuming, you'd better parallel tasking. When I came back to the LCM inventory screen, I saw 6 pre-checks errors : Cassandra down, network down, connection timeout, .... Most scary : node removed from Metadata Ring.
