ESG Technical Validation for Nutanix Era

Delivering high levels of performance is a requirement for IT environments that rely heavily on mission- and business-critical databases. This is especially important in dynamic environments where data growth is constant and continuous accessibility is a requirement. 

To determine whether the Nutanix solution for databases is capable of meeting these requirements, ESG validated Nutanix Era on Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure. Testing included simplifying operations from a single pane of glass for provisioning, cloning/refresh of space-efficient copies, patching, and Time Machine recovery as well as I/O efficiency and performance. In this white paper, ESG explains why Era is a great service to use when it comes to managing your databases.

Through its testing and validation, ESG found that Nutanix made it simple to deploy and manage multiple databases and showed improvement in every test scenario. Results included:

• Raw IOPS improved by nearly 5x overall
• SQL Server transaction processing improved by 146% while reducing response time by 61%
• Oracle performance improved by 53% overall, while keeping response times extremely low
