Question
A prospective customer wants to migrate database workloads to Nutanix. They are currently running these workloads on a 3-tier vSphere architecture made up of 5 hosts connected to a hybrid SAN over 10G iSCSI. The hosts each have 256G RAM and 2 Broadwell 2.8Ghz 12 core processors. The largest database VM is configured with 64G of memory. Some databases are fairly old and single threaded Current performance is deemed acceptable. Which configuration component is most important to maintain the customer experience on a new Nutanix cluster and minimize costs ?
Options
- AMake sure the cluster uses 25G nics to speed up the network
- BMake sure the cluster uses similar speed processors regardless of generation
- CMake sure the cluster uses 512G per host to protect NUMA boundaries.
- DMake sure the cluster is all flash to speed up data access.
