Nutanix block naming convention

Nutanix block naming convention for most people are mystery as well as for me. That was before I joined Nutanix. Picture below should give more light on this “mystery” 🙂

Nutanix models naming convention

The best way is to explain on example. let’s take 3000 series as an example.

Nutanix 3000 series

• #3 – series number
• #0 – number of nodes – it can be 1,2,3 or 4
• #5 – Ivy Bridge 16 cores, #6 Ivy Bridge 20 cores
• #0 – 2 x 400GB SSD, #1 – 2 x 800GB SSD
