This coming week I will be with a group of 30+ Nutanix Technology Champions for the NTC Tech Connect event being held at the Nutanix HQ in San Jose, California.
We will be hearing from the Nutanix Product Group and Engineering about all things Nutanix over 2-days. Whatever is non-NDA we will be allowed to blog and podcast about.
Looking forward to connecting with Nutants both old and new. I have dug through my store of unused Nutanix swag, which I am bringing with me to hand out to those that are interested.
Kudos goes to NTC Community Manager, Angelo Luciani, for setting this up. I know it took a ton of effort to secure the approvals, budget, and resources to make this event happen.

I recently had an interesting interview with the team who run “The Forecast by Nutanix” a few months ago. They asked many insightful and in-depth questions about the state of the cloud and where technology is heading in the future. They published the podcast episode last week, titled “Architecting Paths from Private Data Centers to Azure Public Cloud”.
I recently had an interesting interview with the team who run “The Forecast by Nutanix” a few months ago. They asked many insightful and in-depth questions about the state of the cloud and where technology is heading in the future. They published my profile last week, titled “Simplifying Hybrid Cloud and Migrations to Azure Public Cloud”.
This was driven by Microsoft wanting our customers and partners to quickly and easily size their NC2 on Azure instances.
In the last month I have been involved in a few VCDX mocks. One of the things I have been explaining to VCDX candidates is the importance of being knowledgeable about modern infrastructure design and being able to articulate the business value.
List of articles in my VCDX Deep-Dive series (more than 90 posts)
The way the VCDX blueprints are written, you are encouraged to design a “Build Your Own” solution, which is the antithesis of cloud and the SDDC. Which leads to VCDX candidates following the “BYO” route without considering and understanding how automation, cloud and the self-driving SDDC functions and adds value to a customer.
Am I saying you need to be an expert in VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware Cloud? No, but I am suggesting that you need to be aware of it and be able to describe how it works and articulate the business value realized.
What “modern” VMware solutions am I referring to? Solutions such as the entire suite in VMware Cloud (vRA Cloud, Log Insight Cloud, Cloud Health, Tanzu, etc.), VMware Cloud Foundation (including VCF on VxRail), VMware Cloud on AWS (and all other hyperscaler VMware variants: Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, GCP, etc.), VMware vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, Horizon 7 on VMC on AWS/Azure, etc. And understand how the VMware Validated Design (VVD) framework relates to these solutions.
In my opinion, here are some suggestions on how you can weave this into your VCDX submission and the panel defense:
