ReliaCloud ROBO Nodes

ROBO Nodes

ReliaCloud^® powered by Nutanix™ provides a powerful converged compute and storage system that offers one-click simplicity and high availability for remote and branch offices (ROBO), and these nodes are designed to support Nutanix ROBO hardware and software licensing.

Different than general performance compute nodes, these nodes have limitations on scalability, resilience, and software feature sets.

*OneNeck Benchmark Score – A VM average size is used as the baseline for setting a standard configuration to track price points across cloud solutions. This includes 2vCPU, 8 GB of RAM and 300 GB of storage.

The VM sizing was calculated across OneNeck’s study of our ReliaCloud customer base, and we’ve taken this VM sizing to give an approximate indicator of how many benchmark VMs we could safely fit into a 3-node cluster comprised of a specific node type. Settings assume the follow parameters:

Per VM: 210 GiB cold and 90 Gib hot data
Cluster: AHV, 4 to 1 vCPU : Physical core ratio, RF2 data resiliency, N+1 fault tolerance to 85% resource thresholds, in cluster scale out Prism Central and local data protection with snapshot schedule 4xhourly,7xdaily, 4xweekly, 1xmonthly.
