3 Agenda Factors Driving UC Virtualization Nutanix Technology Avaya Aura Refresher Sizing Avaya Aura on Nutanix Conclusion 3

4 Factors Driving UC Virtualization Access TCO Architecture Management Resiliency Increased Employee Productivity with Anywhere Access Reduced Operational and Capital Costs Linear and Easier Scalability Centralized management for Applications and Infrastructure More Resilient and High Availability Design 4

5 Complexity Every Step of the Way DEPLOY Deployment takes weeks to months - - complex, big footprint SUPPORT Multi- hop support, lack of end- to- end visibility, firefighting BUY Purchase in big increments, incur prediction risk, overprovision MANAGE Multiple management panes, manual operations GROW Difficult to scale quickly 5

6 Avaya Nutanix Stack Product Components ESXi Nutanix AHV Avaya Virtualized Software Hypervisors Ideal for the following deployments 1. Medium to large enterprise solutions Avaya Networking 2. Start small and scale as you grow 3. Call center and UC workloads Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform 6

7 Scale As You Need with Nutanix Assumptions: All Aura feature applications are deployed with application level redundancy to tolerate hardware failure. Includes the following applications: System Manager, Communication Manager Duplex, Session Manager, Presence, Application Enablement Services, Utility Services, WebLM, vappmanager, Secure Access Link, Aura Messaging, Call Management System, Experience Portal, Proactive Outreach Manager, WFO, Agent Desktop Services. Split of 90% UC users and 10% Contact Center users. 7

8 Superior TCO Compared to Legacy Infrastructure TCO: Nutanix vs. Legacy OpEx Savings vs. Legacy 3 Year TCO Millions $12 $10 $8 $6 $4 $2 $- Legacy Nutanix % savings Millions 3 Year TCO $4 $3 $2 $1 >70% OPEX savings Facilities Time Support CAPEX Number of Virtual Machines $- Nutanix Legacy Nutanix Pay-as-you-grow economics Simplicity thru purchase cycle Fine-grained scalability 8 Notes: 3-Year TCO for medium type, server VM. Legacy includes SAN based architecture with servers and networking Chart 2: Opex 1200 VMs

10 The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform Servers Virtualization Hyperconverged Infrastructure Integrated compute and storage Storage Network 10 SAN Software-based High performance Linear scalability VM-centric design

11 Behind The Magic Distributed Storage Fabric Nutanix Controller VM (one per node) ü Start small with 3 nodes ü Easily scale storage and compute on demand Software-defined approach with Controller VM per node Pooled storage resources across the platform and scale as needed High performance Auto optimized 11

12 Nutanix Features for Avaya Aura Aura Requirements Nutanix Features Performance Flash tier for writes and hot data Predictable Scale out Capacity Fault Tolerance Ease of Management HDD tier for cold data Compression and Deduplication Erasure Coding Availability Domains Tunable Redundancy Data Path Redundancy Multi-site Disaster Recovery Integrated workflows for remote backups and disaster recovery with one- click recovery One- click Operational Insights One- click remediation 12

13 Performance Flash and HDD Tiers Virtual Machine/ Virtual Disk Node 1 Node 2 Node N VM VM VM VM VM VM Distributed Storage Fabric DSF

14 Capacity Efficiency Through Compression Inline and post-process compression Increase useable disk space Inline and post-process compression for different workloads Increase effective storage capacity up to 4x Compress a variety of data types at minimal CPU cost with Google Snappy High speed for low latency 14

15 Capacity Increase useable disk space with Erasure Coding-X A strip is constructed from different vdisks on different nodes Low computational cost for both coding and rebuilds Can increase useable capacity by up to 80% 15 Once the strip and parity has been calculated the replica event the replica extent groups can be removed, providing storage savings No affect on Data Locality

22 Deployment Steps Identify Aura components for UC solution Size Nutanix based on Aura components Deploy Nutanix infrastructure Deploy Aura VMs on Nutanix using vcenter Eliminate three-tier deployment headaches 22

23 VM Requirements Gathering Customer Example Input and Specs from 6.3 For each VM # vcpus, RAM, Storage IOPS, if documented (Usually minimal. Check Nutanix RA) Assuming 24 core nodes: Reserving 4 cores for CVM: 20 usable cores 208 vcpu / 20 = 10.4 nodes (N+1) = 12 nodes 23 Large CPU requirements. Minimal RAM and Storage.

24 VM Layout and System Sizing One block from previous example (4 nodes) UC VM Placement Stagger critical VMs based on HA (CM, SM, Presence) Watch for 100% CPU reservation requirements Increasing core count can help to decrease node count IF VMs fit Beware monster VMs that take a whole node Use at least N
