为什么我要将Prism Central用于小簇？

Hi BradenMcG-DC,<\/p>\t

I think it comes down more to what you want to do and what features to use.\u00a0Starting with AOS 5.5, role-based access control, application management (Calm), micro-segmentation policies, and Prism Self Service (PSS) features management is handled by Prism Central. There are also Karbon and Objects.<\/p>\t

If none of these interest you then it is possible that you do not need PC. There is nothing that says you must have it. It is a convenient way to manage medium to large environments and leverage non-basic features. But you know what you need.<\/p>\t

You can always give it a try and then uninstall it later. If at some point you do grow and notice that managing your cluster is taking more time than you would like to commit you can deploy a PC.<\/p>\t

I agree with you, having something that you don\u2019t use is a waste of resources.<\/p>\t<\/div><\/content-quote>

I appreciate the reply. For some background, I have \u201cseen\u201d and briefly interacted with Prism \/ Nutanix in the past at a prior job, but it was not my primary focus. So, I have a small amount of \u201cexperience\u201d but no formal training or much in the way of \u201cwork with\u201d Nutanix.\u00a0<\/p>

In my current job, I pushed for Nutanix (over VMware + vSAN or HyperV) due to my former coworker\u2019s excellent experience with your product.<\/p>

At my new position, Nutanix is going to run all \u201cback end services\u201d for a small ISP. So, it\u2019s primarily going to host Linux or BSD VMs, and there won\u2019t be much in the way of \u201cself service\u201d or much with privilege separation\/RBAC\u00a0(the few people who will have access should be ok with full access). We have 3x1175S-G7 nodes (hybrid storage) with 128GB RAM each, and I don\u2019t expect more than 30-50 VMs in total (and even that may be a stretch). So, I\u2019m not keen to \u201cwaste\u201d another 26-30GB of RAM for Prism Central if it isn\u2019t going to do much for us. You raise a good point though, I could always stand it up and and play around to see if it gains anything, and then take it back down if it isn\u2019t helpful.<\/p>

Part of why I suggested Nutanix was that I know how easily it can be scaled.\u00a0\u00a0 We are starting small, but should we have the sort of growth that our C-levels want, I can envision a scenario where we do need to scale out, and that\u2019s much easier to do with this product than others on the market (IMO).<\/p>","quoteUsername":"BradenMcG-DC","translations":{"Common":{"like":"Like","unlike":"Unlike"},"Forum":{"Quote":"Quote","Share":"Share"}}}">
