New PRISM Central One-Click Upgrade and One-Click Smorgasbord!

Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:41:04 +0000

The Nutanix One-Click upgrade takes care of NOS, hypervisor, disk firmwares, the NCC and now it also takes care of PRISM Central. That's pretty much everything in your virtualization infrastructure; but the networking stack.

As the name says, it’s a One-Click upgrade for the entire Nutanix cluster. Nutanix one-click upgrade automatically indicates when a new component version is available and it will auto-download the binaries if the auto-download option is enabled. The component upgrade process uses a highly parallel process and restart one component at the time using a rolling upgrade mechanism. The entire cluster upgrade can be fully monitored by the administrator.

Nutanix PRISM Central is a single-stop shop for every Nutanix administrator. PRISM Central consolidates all Nutanix clusters across all data centers into a single intuitive user interface that combines information about storage, hypervisors and VMs; a single-pane-of-glass to manage multiple data centers.

Nutanix Prism GUI Interactive Mock-Up Available

Nutanix Sr. Systems Engineer, Tim Federwitz (@VirtuallyGeeky), created a nice interactive mock-up of the Nutanix Prism Administrative Interface.

In Tim's own words, "I have created a VERY simple, but somewhat functional, slightly interactive look at the Nutanix Prism GUI (the Nutanix Web Console). You can use it from pretty much any device, including mobile phones and tablets. Click or tap on the various items in the GUI to navigate around the different screen captures. The screenshots are all static, of course, but at least you get to see the different screens and features.

It is still in its infant stage as I threw it together in a few hours last Sunday night. I plan on finishing up the screens I didn't have time for, but feel free to use it as it comes together. I am "releasing" it early as there seems to be a LOT of interest in something like this.

I really created it to easily show potential customers what the Web Console looks like and highlight some of the features and ease of use that it brings. Along with showing how VM centric and granular the system is.

Keep in mind there will be a lot of changes to the interactivity of the pages, so if something isn't working today, check back later or reach out to me on Twitter @VirtuallyGeeky. Also, I will be changing the hosting structure, so stay tuned."

Nice work Tim!!
