Nutanix / Hyperconverged (HCI)

Also written as Nutanix, Nutanix AHV, Hyper-Converged Infrastructure, Hyper-Converged, VxRail

Hyperconverged infrastructure combines servers, storage and virtualization in one set of identical boxes managed from a single console, instead of separate server, storage and network equipment. Nutanix is the best known, with its own free hypervisor (AHV); Dell VxRail is the VMware-based equivalent.

Think of it like

Buying furnished flats, instead of the building, the plumbing and the furniture from three separate suppliers.

Junior or senior?

Growing as companies look for alternatives to VMware.

Senior sounds like

Has deployed or expanded a cluster, and handled upgrades or a failed node without downtime.

Ask them

“Did you deploy the Nutanix cluster or run an existing one? What happened when a node failed?”

Where this talent works in India — Networking & IT Infrastructure

Target companies that build networking gear or run large networks and data centres themselves: equipment makers, telecom operators, data-centre operators and infrastructure-services firms. Help-desk-heavy outsourcing contracts use the same titles with far less design work, so ask who designed the network, not just who kept it running.

For example: Cisco, Juniper Networks (HPE), HPE Aruba Networking, Arista Networks, Extreme Networks, F5, Infoblox, Nokia.
