Network Visibility for Nutanix Pluribus offers unparalleled and simplified network visibility into these virtualized Nutanix storage and compute environments to help tune and optimize performance. As Nutanix scales out, the network becomes more important for tracking CVM and VM movements, and preventing potential performance degradation or latency issues. Join us for these slides and Webinar where we will discuss how Pluribus VCF Insight Analytics can work in conjunction with your Nutanix environment, ensuring it is running optimally by offering unprecedented insight to the network while supporting your virtualized storage and compute environments. Pluribus VCF Insight Analytics helps: *Baseline typical cluster usage patterns before anomalies strike *Track CVM service restarts & drops *Identify VM Mobility Events *Detect cluster function reallocation (impacting performance) To view the full recording of this webinar please visit: http://go4.pluribusnetworks.com/WN-20161102-T-shooting-Nutanix_Registration.html

IT Service Delivery Challenges
 Business services are comprised of
applications, infrastructure protocols and
networks
 Limited or non existent view of network and
application interaction
 Incident diagnosis is reactive and can take
days
 Difficult triaging across IT teams, but the
Network usually gets the blame...
 No problem prediction before an issue
impacts users at large scale
 Increased operational costs, loss of
productivity, revenue impact
