IOPS on Nutanix

My colleagues Gary Little and John Williamson are starting up a blog series on Nutanix performance. Have you ever wondered how Nutanix would perform for your application? Do you wonder how Nutanix compares to a traditional SAN? Do you ever wonder what it means to have 1 hojillion IOPS? I know I do - so I thought maybe you would too.

I know the blog here has turned into "All Nutanix All The Time", but I think this performance series is worth a read. Maybe I'll be posting more about motorcycles, security, and rock climbing in the future. (Oh, I've taken up indoor rock climbing) I've started using Keybase.io and Signal - so that could also be worth a tech post.

Check out the first Nutanix performance post here.
