    Nutanix Objects™

    Many enterprise organizations NO MORE STORAGE SILOS


    traditionally look for point Nutanix Objects™ is a software-defined object storage solution that non-
    solutions to manage unstructured disruptively scales-out while lowering overall costs. It’s designed with an
    data. These solutions create S3-compatible REST API interface to handle terabytes to petabytes of
    inefficient infrastructure silos, unstructured data, all from a single namespace. Objects is designed for backup,
    inherent complexity, and are long term retention/archiving, and cross-region devops teams. It’s deployed
    difficult to manage, deploy, and managed as part of the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform, eliminating the
    and scale. need for additional storage silos. With Objects, Nutanix customers can enable
    object storage services on existing clusters or set up new clusters with storage-
    dense nodes.

    EXPANDING YOUR ENTERPRISE CLOUD PLATFORM


    Objects is an integral part of the Nutanix enterprise cloud platform that
    enables VMs, files, block, and object storage to coexist on the same platform.
    It’s easily enabled on the Nutanix cluster through a simple software update in
    just a few clicks.

    Nutanix software is deployed on a cluster of servers or nodes — starting with at


    least three in typical datacenter deployments. One and two-node deployment
    options are available for ROBO installations. Each node has CPU, memory,
    storage (SSD + HDD, or all-flash) and a hypervisor for running VMs and
    Objects’ components. The core Nutanix Acropolis (HCI) software runs in a
    user-mode VM called the Controller VM (CVM) on each node in the cluster. The
    Controller VMs create a single storage pool using the direct-attached storage
    in each node in the cluster. This is the Distributed Storage Fabric, or DSF. DSF
    provides Objects with a multitude of enterprise grade capabilities such as
    resiliency, seamless scalability, security, and data reduction properties like
    erasure-coding, deduplication, compression and high availability. It completely
    eliminates the need for standalone storage arrays, like SAN and NAS products
    while reducing overall costs.

    KEY USE CASES:

    • Data Protection (Long Term Retention & Backup) - Protect your data
    with a simple, scalable and cost-effective active archive solution. Utilize
    built-in object versioning for deeper storage protection and search your
    data without the hassle of tape systems.

    • WORM (Write Once Read Many) - Preserve data in a non-rewritable and


    non-erasable format per SEC Rule 17a-4 in scalable compliant archive.
    Simply enable WORM policies on the bucket level.

    • DevOps - Use a single namespace to “PUT” and “GET” objects over the
    network with HTTP commands. Integrate REST API calls within your
    programs or scripts without tracking complex directory structures.
    DevOps and IT Ops can simply leverage an S3-compatible interface for
    cross-geo, cross-team collaboration and agile development.

    KEY FEATURES:

    • Object Versioning - Create copies of objects and protect your data from
    accidentally overwriting or deleting it.

    • Object Tagging - Quickly identify objects by tagging them. Tag objects


    based on projects, compliance and more.

    • Multi-part Upload - Reduce slow upload times by breaking data into


    “chunks” and quickly upload documents, images, videos and more to
    single namespace.
